Does it have to be a US store? Because this could be legit:

64GB for $471

No, they don't. Currently on back-order. And they are one of the $570+ vendors I already know.

Thanks, but did you see the conditions?
  • without warranty
  • This product cannot be cancelled or returned after the order has been placed.
  • This item can only be shipped via our Express Shipping method

I don't think I wanna take my chances again with a store from China and with these kind of terms, even if my credit card protects me. Basically if they send me a broken item or a Chinese knock-off, I'd be SOL. Also this: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/YesAsia Does anyone here ahve a positive experience with them?

Also, isn't the white N9 more prone to general wear & tear, fingerprints and dirt? The white glossy finish seems a bit "fragile" to me.

(Still trying to decide between black & white N9...)


Any comments on this?

(thanks for your answer, cevenn)

Folks,

I would like to share that I had a great shopping experience from CTI NYC

http://www.ctinyc.com/show_product_d...60&brandtype=0

I placed an order last Sunday and they delivered the cell by Wednesday (to NJ). No hiccups, no surprises. This one is Made in Finland though when I talked to the rep he said he gets both Finland and China variety (and of course that it doesn't matter!).

The seal of the box was broken though, but no signs of anything that cause me to worry.

They are out of stock currently, but if you do see them stocked again, might be a good place to shop from. Cheers!

Nothing to report from my side. I dont think its coated the way the black version is. It may have a clear coat to protect the finish but I havent seen anything to confirm this.

I dont use the synthetic leather sleeve it comes with but I make sure not to place it on any surface where it could cause the chrome/polished metal camera strip to scratch. So far so good.

I've only had it for a month now I think and the only thing I can point out is about the dirt but that should be fairly obvious with any white device. The tiny gaps between the simtray/usb cover and the body collects fine pieces of dust/lint but nothing that a good wipe down wouldnt sort out. That and fingerprints are also clearly seen on the glossy finish.

The white is a stunning piece of hardware, I'd say go for it ;)

Thanks for the useful post!
This sounds good. If I can still find a white N9 for a normal price (CTINYC have no more in stock), I'll probably buy it.

Re: The White N9 thread
 
Never mind my post on the previous page, now they're sold out pretty much anywhere.

Does anyone know if Nokia is still producing them?
Can we expect the stores to get new stock?

The White N9's do indeed seem to have disappeared from stock everywhere, even ebay doesn't pull up any results for a worldwide search. Wonder if Nokia has ceased production of the White N9, or maybe the N9 alltogether(there would have been a far greater reserve of the other colours).

Would be interested if anyone can confirm this.

Cant confirm but the 16Gb really seems to be killed.

16Gb variants are VERY lowpriced now...
