Mine is shipping with the same firmware as you guys. And it crashes a lot too :(

Apart from that, lovely responsive system, you can tell there is a gig of ram under there. The virtual kb and grainy amoled will take getting used to though.

vkb - yes, still getting used to it. Seems quite good.

Grainy amoled - not got that on my Finnish-made N9

My N9's product code is 059J230. Firmware version is 10.2011.34-1_PR_006.

I've only had it for 4 days now and it only rebooted once when I was trying to connect a headset while playing music 2 days ago. Otherwise, it's pretty stable.

Yeah same deal on the HandTec devices - random stuff failing - some things from the store won't install, and can't turn on developer mode. I assume it's backed by a duff repository with some old or missing artefacts. I hope PR1.1 is coming soon, because that fixed so many things on my N950 ... and this N9 is kinda broken in comparison.

It's not grainy as such, it's just I have really expensive glasses, so I can see that it looks a little different from the tft screen on the n900. Looks like my sisters sgs

I am thinking about buying 64gb n9 for personaldigital.com for around 800$ us dollars. Should I buy it now or wait for price to go down?

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 
Hmm, so playing with my Handtec N9 in the last few hours and it's frozen a couple of times. This isn't normal. N950s on megabeta software were less flaky than this, and never totally locked up. Today, my N9 has rebooted a few times (and looped), been un-screen-unlockable twice and has totally frozen up once while using it.

My screen is indeed amoled-grainy too, which I can deal with as a compromise for having the sleeping/standby screen, but it's streaky as well.

Joy.

Are all Handtec people having the same kind of problems? New thread?

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 
OK - so I've had my Danish N9 for coming up on two weeks now (will be two weeks since I unboxed it this evening).

No spontaneous reboots. Booted it once to start it. Rebooted once a day or so later, just because. Rebooted it 9 days later because it had become sluggish when starting applications. Since the reboot (now 2d 19h according to the Battery Usage app) no general sluggishness. The Facebook app irritates at times when it's off getting updates. I don't have tweets delivered to the notifications screen (else there's nothing but tweets there). Facebook updates and several rss feeds (about half a dozen) there run nicely and smoothly.

CalDAV to Google, MfE to Google (for contacts - only updating once a day) 3 email a/c's fetching email across the day (always up-to-date during the day), available to Facebook, google talk, Skype during the day. Wifi/Bluetooth/3G radios on

The phone runs smoothly and remains a pleasure to use.

I have yet to turn on developer mode - I don't have need of that yet.

How often? My Handtec sourced N9 arrived today. Seems okay so far. Are we talking or reboots?

Isfr21 don't be so suspicious. I am not JFK assassin. You are too young to think like that. You should start from thinking that everyone is honest until proven otherwise.

I haven't even post the link to anything and you are calling me scammer.

I invited everyone in Serbia to visit it and buy N9. Read my post again.

@COLIN.STEPHANE

I don't have site in order for you to buy it online. Our smart dealers got the Nokia N9 only last week. The starting price was 680 €uro for N9 64Gb, but it is rapidly falling to now 597 €uros for the same model.

I am waitng for the sexiest BLUE N9 64Gb.

My 16gb Black N9 arrived tody from Singapore. I only paid $580 + $32 shipping to the US. I'm half tempted to buy like 5 more and flip them on to eBay and make a couple hundred bucks.

There was a SingTel sticker on the back of the phone that I removed easily, however the lockscreen also has a SingTel logo that I don't know how to remove. Other than that, the phone seems great. The package said made in China, not Finland.

Just got mine in the mail. The Device is great. However, it was branded with SingTel. Hoping a firmware flash will take care of this. Also, this one shipped from Negri electronics. I am receiving another 64GB N9 in the mail from welectronics.com. I will update this thread when I receive it.

N9 from Handtec, unusable due to frequent freeze & reboots.

thanks, HughF, you seem to understand that don't see does not equal don't have :)
So, would you mind commenting on the colour tones?

My N9 renders yellowish white and colours are oversaturared.

Like grandma's TV in the 80's.

10.2011.34-1_PR_005 is the firmware version.

Since this is a Thai market device,
I am hoping this firmware is tuned for the Asian market and that reflashing a European firmware would set general colour tone to blueish white and less saturation.

i find the colour tones to be rich, slightly pink, but they are to my taste.

the amoled screen looks very different to the tft on the n900

I ordered from IPMart.com yesterday, it has supposedly been picked up in Kuala Lumpur and will be here in Boston in four days. I'll post pictures and comments on it if it's as promised.

Just thought I'd sign up and pipe in since it seems to be cheapest option yet for those of us stateside (546+ship+"transaction fee" of some kind), and to share my experience whether it's negative or (hopefully) positive.

I know there are a couple of 64gb N9's on sale in Brisbane, Australia, on brisbane.gumtree.com.au. Around $600. Not sure if this is of interest to any aussies?

I've got developer mode enabled on my Handtec N9. Apparently the reason you can't enable it some times is because the time set on the N9 differs too much from the server time. Set your time accurately and it should install.

Be warned all. If you order from posten.se delivery times are very slow. I ordered mine x2 Sundays ago and still waiting for delivery to the UK.. (The price has already gone down in the meantime - on the market general).

When did you order this device? Before they got a new shipment this week or earlier?

It would be readily apparent. After the N9 booted up, was there a splash page by a carrier. Are there any pre-loaded apps by a carrier? For example. Sounds like no. I just ordered 64gb from Negri and am very fearful that it will be branded. Likely to be slower in getting updates as a result.

Just ordered a black 64gb from Negri Electronics in Las Vegas, NV. I was gonna wait for a white but decided I liked black and didnt want to wait for a white and find out they were back at $1000 shipping from Australia.

So Negri has the 64gb for $829.
https://negrielectronics.com/nokia-n...-unlocked.html

Free shipping in USA via FedEx ground. I also used this ( sb35offjkh ) coupon code for $35 off so $795 shipped!

No no carrier just plain but the funny thing is for some reason i have no wallpapers or videos or songs that would come with the phone when you 1st get it . Im starting to think this phone was flashed. I really wouldnt care but i really liked one of the wallpapers that i saw on youtube that came with the phone . The phone works fine so far i hope you get yours soon and its not branded.

Just received the Cyan 16gb N9 from Negri.

It's the singapore version - UNBRANDED

It takes two days to ship from HK, it's almost overnight. I'd suggest Negri for people trying the purchase UNBRANDED 16gb N9's in any color.

From what people are saying, the 64gb is indeed carrier branded when bought from Negri.

So that's a +1 for Negri in my book.

I was very skeptical in the beginning btw. :)

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 
Just received my second Nokia N9 64GB from welectronics.com. This one is straight from Nokia with No Branding. No videos appear on boot. I have found a way to remove any boot videos on branded phones. This worked for the SingTel branded phone I received earlier.

I recommend both welectronics.com and negrielectronics.com.

Negri Electronics - Singtel version
Welectronics - Unbranded version

I ended up canceling the Negri order and went with Welectrioncs. A little more, $836 shipped, but I like the idea of a non-branded phone.

My 64gb n9 from Negri was unbranded, but point taken that there is still some uncertainty as to what you will actually get...
