Do you know if this source in Australia is having to buy the 1 month SIM or contract - which is easily canceled?

That's something that a source here at TMO is trying to overcome. The price isn't that bad on the 16gb, the 64gb price wasn't that bad either. Just that the stock might not be that high as of yet.

yes, well it seems to be a lot to ask of a person in the first place. the 16GB one seems readily available. for a premium anyhow. I will continue my search though, and continue to inform.

Nope, he didn't have this issue.

Errr, actually, I can get 16GB cyan for ya all in Malaysia & ship it. Just that some are concerned about return policy and of course whether you can trust a complete stranger(me,lol). I can charge....(thinking) USD585 for the device.
Shipping is costly, around USD80 if DHL. Total, USD665, NOT including whatever customs tax your country charge. My profit? Maybe 1 big Mac if I'm lucky.

64GB sorry, 2nd batch havent reach, I havent even got mine yet. The 16GB not enuf to store vids .

So with insurance, whymobile.com is around 842USD. I spoke with someone on the phone a few times about the order. So it looks as if it is orderable from them and he claims to have stock. I haven't imported a phone in a while, but it seems that if you opt for insurance that they will declare full value to customs. I am unsure if that is an issue here in the US.

They shipped mine in less than 24 hours after ordering, so I'll let you know how it goes. Still would like to find their return policy in writing but what is done is done. EDIT: found the policy within their mission statement page and they do accept returns.

Has someone bought anything in that site?

I haven't bought from that site, and I don't plan to... Any shop that lets you add a phone to your shopping cart and start checking out without bothering to tell you (or let you select) the colour or 16gb vs 64gb version cannot be doing things correctly, even if they aren't a scam website.

Just seems odd that the description lists the different possibilities ( storage space but not colour, actually) but all you can do is add the phone. Specifically, it says "16gb or 64gb" ... which one is the price referring to ? If it was Amazon or eBay the size/colour might be in the subject heading, but in this case there's nothing like that and although the photo is a black phone I'm not going to trust that.

the price was pretty enticing, though =(

Hello people!

In regards of Mexican N9s I have just found two sellers who are willing to send me some N9, but only in black and 16 version.

However, the prices are very competitive.One of them is offering me the phone for $550 USD plus shipping to my house (I also live in Mexico). The other one offers it for $620. Again, both sellers are offering the black version with 16GB on board,

I'm gonna do a first buy and see how it goes, and see if it's a scammer or something. Will do the deal personally and come back with the results.

hope it goes well, got me very excited :)
