Well. Damn. Nothing like forcing my hand. I already have my next couple mobiles mapped out: the Lumia 900, Galaxy S3, and the iPhone 5. And, if it's cheap enough, when the NAM Lumia 800 drops, I may grab one. I'm bored to tears with my current GN.

I just cannot let go of the N9. I know that it's a dead OS with outdated hardware. I refuse to pay current price for one. Everything else I walk away from, no problem. I just think it's so alien from anything out there, I just can't look away. Plus I need a back up mobile and having a unlocked penta band laying around might be useful. Damn it. I want to find an open box one at a price I can't refuse...

Dude, I got a 16gb N9 from Expansys UK for $430 AUD, including shipping to Australia... Made in Finland.

You're not going to find it cheaper than that!

Damn it. Stop talking sense. Yeah. I know. I'm going to finally cave in the next day or so. I'd like a Fin made one so I'm working through US online retailers.

I also got my N9 from Expansys UK when it had a price drop, I paid £364.99 with everything included and a free UK-EU adapter :D

But now it has gone up to £394.99 =[ but the red(magenta) N9 is £349.99.

I was quite tempted by the Black 64GB variant on Expansys UK. Does a Cyan 64GB variant not exist? Still, I'm not used to paying such high prices, although I know it is SIM free. Quite happy with how versatile my N900 is still, but the N9 is a thing of beauty.

64Gb comes only in Black &/or White.
And as I hear their [N9-64Gb-Black's] production has stopped, or going to be by Q-1/2012 (sic!).

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 
I'm starting to wonder if I should get the N9 very soon. But I really want the white one any ideas where I can buy a white one and get it sent to USA?

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 
I had been waiting and waiting thinking that the 64gb would drop. I waited till after CES thinking the Lumia 900 would shift the demand.

The price dropped to around 650 USD, and stayed firm. Then the guy I got it from said he only had a few left. So I pulled the trigger. The price is still about the same, I think it went down like 10 bucks.

I think the "supply" is causing the price to remain relatively fixed on the 64gb, while the more widely available 16gb has clearly gone down

I'm trying to source a white n9 this week or the next. If I know I can't get it, I will just order the black 64gb next week.

I let myself wait too long!

Whatever u do - do it soon... 'coz even the 16GBs shall be hard to get after mid-2012. While by end-2012 they'd be kaput !

Debating on ordering from them this week as well. Let us know when it ships since it says within 24-48 hours. Shouldn't be too long before you get a shipping confirmation.

I'm on holidays in Thailand and Cambodia now.

Huge adverts for N9 all over Bangkok and Siem Reap.

It's awesome :) I'll take some photo's.

No. Nothing. Starting to get really, really annoyed. I just sent them an email. I've waited almost the full 48. At this point if it doesn't ship by today, I'll request a refund through PP. I simply can't recommend them. Hopefully, everything will turn out okay but I'm not happy at this point.

Sucks to hear that. I guess it's still in the window, but really, it should've shipped already.

Worst case, get your money back and pay the extra $29 bucks for welectronics. They seem to ship fast. People get their N9s within 3 days apparently.

Filed a PP dispute this morning. 3 emails, I tried a couple phone calls. No communication from them. Awful seller. I can understand a delay or two but I haven't even heard from them aside from the transaction email start early Monday. They shouldn't be listed on GSMarena.

Wow that's terrible. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you get your money back asap and it all works out.

I'm debating on where to order now. Welectronics, sgbest, not sure.

I'd like a refund ASAP. The money is already earmarked for another 64. PR 1.2 looks sweet!!

I ordered my black 64gb from negrielectronics, really good service and fast shipping. But what I dont like about the n9 is the battery life, sometimes it can hold 15 hours, but one day it drains in only 5, and also when I charge my phone, it only goes up to 91%. so I hope this can be fix in pr 1.2

Possibly. I love the fact, even though there is no real difference, that they might have a batch of Fin's.

(Side note: I have to find a post on how to tell.)
