Ah well, take me out of the running for a Cyan one. I've given up on that - perhaps (much) later I'll revisit that color option.

This sounds like a great idea, even though i live in a country that will receive a N9 its about $999NZD here contract free. Roughly $800USD so its pretty dear here.

By the way, I still have another preorder at Negri Electronics if anyone wants one in the US. Maybe I can tell them to switch it over to you?

What's the price via Negri Electronics?

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 
The preorder price is $705. I don't think this is a set price, but a placeholder for a preorder.

Well... I got my micro-SIM today. There's going to be news about the N9 in Mexico reportedly in this week. E-mails will be sent out to others later this week as well.

The rest from the prior update remains the same.

What carrier are you on? I'm on tmo and they flat-out told me that they don't have micro-sims.
I know there's a cutter available, but I'd rather do it the other way: Get a micro-sim and then put it in a mega(?)-sim adapter.

I'm on AT&T - they sent me one per request for free - expedited it overnight from Friday, I got it today for free, shipping price waived.

And if T-Mobile does the iPad, they have micro-sims. There are other devices and phones that use them.

Hell, they sell them right here dude...

I'm going the sim cutter route myself. Still waiting on mine from Ebay. With shipping, it ended up being $7.98. I have a few old sim cards to test b4 i cut the one that counts. @ Gerbick, what emails ? Do u mean messages for us interested ?

In my rush earlier - was posting via the Xoom - I meant e-mails from Nokia Mexico out to people.

Once that happens, then I should be a day ahead on the confirmation(s) on 64gb price(s) and availability and will send out those confirmations via PM and/or e-mail.

Awesome. Keep up the good work. Stupid question: Do u honestly think the 16GB is enough for app storage ? I know there isn't many apps now, but down the road who knows ? Just still on the fence on what model.... Thanks

16gb has served me well on my iPad, Atrix, iPhone, TouchPad, N810, N900, HTC HD7S and Dell Venue Pro. But I tend to rarely carry music with me, mostly eBooks, cbrs and a movie or two. If that.

And I've never run out of space. Yet.

Thanks for the reply. Most don't care to answer dumb questions around here. Coming from an E71, i don't have much knowledge about storage. Just about 2GB or so of music for the gym. This will hopefully be my first touchscreen exp. w/ a smartphone. Much appreciated... Oh, & what's cbrs ?

It's a compressed file format for comic books.

Don't sell your questions short. The age-old "how much space should I need" isn't a dumb question. It's, in fact, so important that Bill Gates STILL gets haunted by his own "640 kilobytes should be more than enough for any user" statement (even if it's out of context). Additionally, not a whole lot of people know what a CBRS file is (and I see someone's already answered it, so I won't). So far.. that two good questions out of two. I, for one, recommend that you keep asking questions.

Yep. They're saying October 17th (odd day) so far, but even that's up in the air. They're still building stock. Telcel won't have it until after Nokia has it. But if they do, branding on the lock screen is supposed to happen via Telcel, not Nokia Mexico.

dcastrog 2011-10-11 20:51
Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 
well, they got me waiting. Telcel will rarely brand their off~contract phones, and if they do they won't touch the physical hardware. Again, they will only stock the black phone. Nokia mx might stock them at first, but telcel will sell them for sure. Nokia has no other store to sell the phones to the public, unless it is via a carrier.

Any microSD card's in the Dell VP, N900, N810, or Atrix ?

dcastrog 2011-10-11 22:56
Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 
just got official confirmation. The n9 will hit stores in mexico in November, colors available magneta and black. The price $8500 pesos which is roughly less than $600 usd. The capacity will be 16gb, no other words about the 64 version. Again, this is official words.

Dell VP, Atrix, iPad (of course) and TouchPad, no microSD's.

N900, N810, yes... microSD's - didn't use the N900's microSD at all though, didn't have to - just used it once to possibly transfer something, but found out it wouldn't work before I transferred it (DRM media)

Lately, I've been moving stuff to my Xoom via ssh or http and then moving to the microSD. And even then, it has 32gb of internal storage; compounded with the 32gb of microSD - and I'm still using only 8gb of total storage combined. No joke.

November's a long *** time to be waiting for a phone. Get your shiet together Nokia. A LOT can happen between now and then.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 
Just got an update... 16gb confirmed in Dubai for 685 USD. No 64gb versions yet at the store he hit up (he admitted to being lazy) but will check back - they said they might have more by this weekend.

Working with him there too.

Don't forget that you're on my list of people that wanted a Nokia N9.

I'm not out for just myself, hombre. Mine is on its way. I'm out to help out people, including you if you wanted it. And trying to avoid people getting scammed for higher/premium/eBay prices if I can.

Do you want me to take your name off the list though? Just a question.

lol it seems easier to obtain black over cyan. Is it an issue in Dubai also? or are cyan available there?

Also would that price include shipping? Still very interested.

That's before shipping. Magenta is also available. No mention of Cyan.

I will talk with my friend there again by Friday. This week is full of updates it seems!

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 
first week of November if that s better. I think the price from nokia mexico is very reasonable.

Arent you the one who asked about N9 in Malaysia? Lol, I thought you are Malaysian & was wondering why you didnt go to the shops/dealers to check it out :D
Btw, the Mexico 16GB price is only USD50 more than Msian 16GB price. Philipines will also have the N9 in Nov

Hadn't checked Portugal, my one connection in Lisbon isn't there any longer.

And I'm trying to avoid pre-order sites. No telling when that'll show up.

One incoming from Mexico via Nokia connect there, one on the way from Dubai. Once I figure out which one will be the easier/cheaper way to get some to folks - not all people on my list are from North America, I'll update fully.

No go on Negri electronics, and no eta on stock, after getting word of incoming inventory this week. lol /sigh
