Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 
Slight problem here guys,

I set up my Cyan N9 on tuesday and have been using it since.

I took it out of my pocket today to see that the phone was off. Tried to turn it on by holding the power button down as usual. Did not turn on.

I've been trying to turn it on by randomly trying combinations of the volume rocker and the power button but still not turning on.

I tried holding down the power button for 8 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds etc - still not turning on.

Everything was working fine as of last night and today except for when I took it out of my pocket.

I got home and plugged the charger in to the laptop, the notification light comes on for one second and then goes away. Trying to start the phone with the phone plugged into the laptop doesn't work either.

Any solutions?

Did you try charging directly from a power outlet? Sometimes the battery is so drained that USB alone won't charge it to an ample level. I killed my battery purposefully last night and plugging to an outlet brings it back.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 
I haven't tried charging from the outlet yet but the battery was full in the morning when I left the house. So I doubt that's a problem. I'll still give it a shot - is there anything else I can try apart from plugging it into an outlet?

Is there a thread on "bricked" N9's or N9's that don't turn on? I can't seem to use the search function to locate them.

Thanks!

Well after reading quite a few posts in this thread i seem to realize that the cheapest prices for the 64GB version seem to be in dubai.

Black N9 64GB - 2349 AED(around £397 or $639 USD)
Blue 64GB - 2200 AED

The prices seem really tempting to me to actually pick one up but...

I would like to know if the models sold in dubai are Made in China or Made in Finland??

Going through some posts in TMO i realize that the ones Made in China seem to have all the screen issues & bad reception issues..

Any confirmation on this matter would be helpful... :)

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.

Where did you read about the price of BLUE N9 64gb.
I don't think Nokia has BLUE edition of N9 64 gb in stores.

Just got my 64GB black at 680 euros from ebay.it seller is www_gabibbo_com in Switzerland he ships to Italy for 15 euros he's a decent guy.

He told me that he's sold many N9s to Italian accounts, both private and business and even to some Nokia Stores.

My N9 is made in Finland and works well.

Hi! We have been desperately trying to locate a store in Hong Kong selling this. Can anybody please help us, if you have any info, in buying this beauty of a phone.

Please?

Maybe a store in Mongkok or in Sham Shui Po?

Thanks!

I had the exact same problem as you. My N9 was just lying on a table and the screen went blank. No way to revive it even using the wall charger. Took it to Nokia Care and they said the motherboard need to be replaced and need to wait for parts. I'm been without my N9 for 2 weeks and still waiting. I googled other forums and there are a few similar cases but the problem is not widespread. Well, what to do? The luck of the draw.

finally took the plunge and ordered my 16gb cyan nokia n9 from ebay user "personaldigital".

hes shipping them from australia, not sure what country they are made in but will let you know when i get it.

so far hes shipped my n9 and gave me the tracking info that estimates delivery on the 7th (monday), and i ordered on the 3rd, around 6pm (uk time) so if it gets here on that day id say thats pretty fast shipping.

Thanks. Did you have any issue with it? I'm tempted to buy some N9 there when I go to Switzerland in December.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nokia-black-...429254&sr=1-21

they have the 64gb up there too if you search for the n9. never ordered off that crowd though but feedback on it looks ok. suppose it's an option for people.

Edit:
scratch that. they don't have the 64gb up, was another seller with 1 review

Thanks for the reply mate, this settles it. I sent mine back today. Ordering one from somewhere else.

Also on another note, I have been told that Nokia has dealt with most of the glitches from the first and second production runs. So there is hope for a reduced amount of hardware related nightmares for people buying the phone now.

I hope you get yours back soon. Thanks again, have a good weekend!

Thanks mate. I'll give them one more week and if they can't fix it I'll demand a 1-to-1 exchange although my chance of success is slim due to weak consumer laws in Malaysia. It will depend on the goodwill (or mercy) of Nokia Malaysia.

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.

hello ybz90,how about your order? can we trust ipmart.com?

Hey, just a quick question, were there any taxes,duties or anything like that, im trying to guess full total price (546+30$ DHL shipping+?). oh yea and can you choose the color? I need black

There was also another fee around $25 for transaction, so it came out to around 608 total shipped. You can opt for a $15 shipping, but that was Air Parcel or something and 4+ WEEKS. Waaaay too long to wait in today's world with Amazon Prime spoiling us.

I believe they only have black and 16GB.

A potentially cheaper option is superbuy.my for $580, but I'm not sure if they charge for shipping and I figured with a currency conversion fee, even free shipping would end up costing me more. And I wasn't sure how legit that site was either -- anyone buy from there?

Just posted by faulty N9 back to handtec today and started scouring for a new source. Lo and behold amazon.de has it in stock for only €625! Quite a bargain for an EU shipper. Obviously I bought one for myself before telling you guys ;-)

PS Hoping google translate can get me through the returns process if this one's a lemon too.

Thanks for the tip. Will you need to pay UK VAT on top of that price? If so it doesn't seem quite so attractive...
