Very helpful, thanks. If I may? Where does Nokia stand on grey market warranty?

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

i have one from here in the mail. will update when arrives.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

I'm sure they don't mind. As long as your device is covered, it's fine. For N9 it might generally be a problem since you couldn't just ring Nokia USA (or any other country where it isn't officially sold) and ask for support.
I would personally explore the device hardware well as soon as it arrives so if there's any fault you can avoid warranty altogether and ask for a new unit. As for software, we're all likely to run into something but at least it can be fixed.

Now here's a cool way to get discount in Amazon and fast shipping:
-open amazon account
-apply for Amazon Visa Rewards (earns you 3% cash back in form of points in your amazon account)
-as soon as you're approved (which is very fast) you get $30 gift card in your amazon account
-sign up for Amazon Prime 1 month free trial
-buy an N9 (let's say for $800) from any of the sellers with the Amazon Rewards Visa you were just approved
-choose 2 day shipping from your Prime free month trial
-by doing so you earn 3x$800=2400 points = $24 back in your account
-what you actually paid: 800-30-24=$746 and you get free fast shipping
-cancel your Prime trial before month is up (or keep it if you like the service)

Got a 64Gb black in amazon.de, ordered on Monday, arrived on Friday. Made in Finland, maybe a Finnish device so went straight for the OTA update (it's important that the date and time is correct for this to work properly :-) ).
I paid: EUR 637,68 including delivery to the UK, but I understand that price fluctuates a lot. Maybe amazon.de is one of those sites to keep refreshing if, like me, you really really want one.

For those interested, so far the device has been fantastic, haven't had time to play properly with it though. One thing I discovered is that if you use the silicone case the camera flash doesn't work as it's meant to do (read: it's less bright as the silicon case's hole blocks the flash slightly), maybe that hole needs to be manually enlarged. Not a massive issue, but I'd like to use it as a portable camera [and get rid of mine], you know, less things to carry around.

Nokia N9 16 gb version available in Pakistan for Rs. 53100 which will be almost 617 US $.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

www.handtec.co.uk have 64gb back in stock @ £557.99...

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

I've received my black 64GB from amazon.de today - only 4 days from order to delivery, quite happy with that.

It's made in Finland. Version 10.2011.34-1_PR_001. Manuals in English and German, and AC plug is a Europlug. I've literally just received it, so I'll report back once I've tested it with SIM and data connection.

Still about Amazon - turns out they don't always show the best price on the main product page. Make sure you check the "new from ***€" link, as that's where you'll find the Amazon version at 604€.

Total cost with deliver to Ireland was 622.66€, which is quite reasonable, considering the prices of other vendors.

Is this currently the best price in UK. Simply Electronics are cheaper but Handtec won't match the price

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

I haven't seen any cheaper yet, but looks like Expansys and Mobile Fun are now selling the 16Gb version so I'm going to hold fire until the end of the month when they might have got some 64Gb in too. Seems like a good price though - only 40quid more for the extra 48Gb.

I bought my Black 64GB in Belgrade, Serbia for just a bit over 500€ in local currency. Great price.
