Weird, 64GB N9 from Msia should not be branded as none are on contract. Only 16GB black are offered by telcos.

A friend of mine is going to Amman Jordan and says N9 available there and will bring me one. I assume this will also be made Finland if Dubai ones are. Anyone know the situation in Amman Jordan?

I'm in North Carolina and my friends paid for 64gb Nokia N9's and got 16gb instead. Helping them get refunds right now.

Aiyoo :eek::eek:. I put out a few posts earlier about getting the 64GB but you all seem to able to obtain it from online stores like superbuy.

Take note, very important, tell your friends (I'm from Malaysia):
1) Malaysia 64GB, 16GB cyan, 16GB magenta are all sold unlocked. ONLY the 16GB black are on contract with - Digi & Celcom. Correction, Celcom has 16GB black & cyan
Plus, those who won the N9 contest, if not mistaken, they also get 16GB black, but non branded, unlocked from Nokia. They can sell cheap as they got it free.;)

2) 64GB (black only) are very limited. According to the dealer, mostly reserved for pre-order customers those who didnt get it during launch (like me). 3rd batch 64GB will come, but dunno how loonggg that will take.

@gerbick so what about the clues for China / Finland N9s? Can you track what countries / stores are selling this or that version?
My Cyan 16Gb N9 arrived today, and is Made in China :( (white sticker). I bougth it from Expansys USA and imported to here, Spain (short tip: Don't do it! So bureaucratic...). It also has that weird US power plug, don't care so much, but... will be nice if we can find in the box the evidences of what's inside, power connector, etc...

No offense (and much appreciation) to those of you who created and maintained this thread, but I thought I would post that for a week or so (perhaps longer) N9s have been available on Amazon.

Looking at the listing, now, where it is sold by FGS trading (no idea who) but the order is fulfilled by Amazon. That means the item is stored in Amazon's warehouses. I'm a Prime customer and the N9 is showing up with the Prime logo, meaning free 2 day shipping. The list price for the black 16gb is $670 (i refuse to list 99c prices, sorry) with a limited amount in stock.

The "more buying choices" ad underneath the "add to cart" button shows some at $650 + free shipping.

I may jump on that. if i do, i'll obviously respond and let you know hwo it goes, and try to answer the questions that have popped up regarding the manufacturer, screen quality etc.

A friend working in Thailand said the Nokia store told him it would be 18,900 Baht (570ish USD) and available in November. I am not competent enough to try organize buying/selling these things or comfortable being a middleman, but perhaps this may help you if you know of someone going to Thailand.
