Re: "Select markets"?
 

We are not 'select' enough :p

Regardless I will grab the EU version the second it comes out :p

Re: "Select markets"?
 

THEN it will a shame they did not put us in the SELECTED countries... damn... about buying from EU? wont it be an issue in warranty, keyboard layout, and frequency?

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Both Versions should work in Australia unless your with Telstra.

All the other carriers are 900Mhz and 2100Mhz

I think id go with the EU version as it doesn't have the 850Mhz GSM like the US version has. I'm not expert would be good to hear from people who know about these things. I've looked it up and thats what I can figure so far.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Comparing the product specs on UK and USA sites, it appears they support the same frequencies. Is this correct? Do you remember where it said that the EU version doesn't support 850MHz?

So my guess is that Telstra's NextG (850MHz) will work.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

I wish we didn't always get the short end. I wanted to pre-order, that's how excited I was about the device, I even added it to my cart, from the us store, and boom. Not possible. :(

Re: "Select markets"?
 

The US version supports 3G on 850Mhz but I think NextG is more than just a frequency change. I could be wrong any NextGers from Australia want to correct?

the EU version supports 900Mhz on 3G instead.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Well, I am seeing (from Nokia sites) that all the US, UK and even the France versions supporting the same frequencies, i.e., 900/1700/2100.

Am I missing something about this 850 thing? I don't remember it seeing anywhere w.r.t 3G.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Still nothing from nokia.si... infact the response I got from them was an english: It will launch october 1st in select markets.

I mean... c'mon. Hopefully the Cellco will be better at answering if they are planing on getting it or subsidizing it even.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

I was going from the Specs on MobileCityOnline, they were the only one to state there is a different model between the US and EU so far.

Not sure how accurate it is.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

I just wrote to Nokia.ca to see if that French-Canadian support is actually there just because... Hopefully this won't be a mess like a the n810 discount code!

I'd be pre-ordering right now from nokiausa if it wasn't for the fact that they can't take Canadian postal codes as input !!()$*" :P

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Wrong. That's an online retailer with erroneous pre-release specs. Do a search here. Topic has been covered.
.
All N900 units ship with the same frequencies.
It's a quad band GSM device. It will "work" everywhere as a voice phone. Data will work at 2.5G (EDGE) speeds everywhere.

The ongoing 900, 1700 and 2100Mhz frequency discussions concern the 3G data connection.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Anyone know which of the companies that are selling the N900 actually do international shipping? NokiaUSA only has USA as available addresses to enter and Amazon won't ship the N900 to my country.

I bought the N800 from Amazon but that was 6 months after it was released, not a pre-order etc.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

ExpansysHK do international shipping AFAIK. Unfortunately they've upped their pricing recently - it worked out a great deal cheaper before. There are some companies that do mail proxies but I've no experience with any.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

The price for the n900 on german Amazon just dropped from 599,97 Euro to 558,98 Euro.

And yes, i ordered it :-)

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Yeah the HK price just for exchange rate is over $900

the http://www.expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=187417 seems to be the cheapest so far, I should just wait till launch date to see what all the final prices are.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Nokia Aust Nseries page now have N900..

http://www.nokia.com.au/find-products/nseries

when you click it, it still go to error page... maybe they still working on the page...

OMG release DATE PLZ...

Re: "Select markets"?
 

No, Amazon USA is the cheapest

http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-N900-Mob...2647108&sr=1-4

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Amazon in the US won't ship outside north America for the N900.

I tried ;) as I ordered my N800 from Amazon and they shipped that to me no worries.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Hmm..so then it's guaranteed that the n900 I would buy in the USA would work in Europe and Asia as a voice phone? But not necessarily the data connection for 3G usage? How would that work? Is it the frequency that is different per country that is set by Nokia before they ship to the country it's being sold?

Re: "Select markets"?
 

YOu can take this phone anywhere in Europe and Asia and get the 2G connection for voice and data and per the 3G it depends on your carrier that which spectrum it uses. But you dont have to worry about that because I do not know any carrier in Europe and Asia using any other band than 900MHZ or the 2100MHZ. and this phone has 900/1700/2100/2100
The bold is for the USA for T-Mobile as Europe is listed only 2100 even though it uses 1900MHZ and 2100MHZ for 3G US Tmobile is listed 1700 only.
I hope that makes sense.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

This subject has been discussed endlessly in several recent threads.
Time to spend some time with Search.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Hey Alex,

Seems like Nokia Mexico pulled out that page!

I'm sure Nokia wants to keep us away of the N900 in order to favor the crappy N97 instead... :mad:

I refuse to purchase a crippled N900...

Too bad huh?

Rayan

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Im not going to waste my fracking moneys on N97 that a full of cow faecies smartphone. It was built for the look but nothing else good about it other than 32G internal memory

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Hey Jack! Is the n900 on sale in czech republic yet? If so, where can I find one around prague?
