Out of Stock
good :D & bad :(
bad of course for those who would have liked to get one from there, but good as it seems to indicate a fair success for the white N9.

Have to disagree. There is a thread of people complaining of microscratches on the screen sans screen protector. I have the skinomi wrap, it it works really nicely, and looks good as well, will take photos of it tonight and post. Yes, the front piece covers the entire screen with two holes, one for light sensor, and the other for the camera. Highly recommended.

Yes, they're all taken with the N9. It passed the test. It is a good successor to the N900 as camera phone for me. :)

agreed. Gorilla glass does do a pretty good job of being resistant to scratches, but it still happens. and once you get one, it's too late already. i'd rather be safe



on another note, did you finally remove the stupid bot check?

I just checked their webpage, the white carbon fiber skin looks really nice! Add that to the white N9 and you got a sweet combination :).

it's silver CF. i'm pretty sure that is just 3m di-noc vinyl that is cut to the phone. and from experience, it's not even close to silver CF lol it doesn't really offer much protection either.

Cool. I chatted with a service rep today and they didn't know. Thanks for the heads up! I guess I will have to check hourly or something haha.

Should we wait for it to show up in stock? Or would placing a backorder make sense so that we don't miss out?

They said on twitter to place a backorder. I placed a backorder earlier this week.

Let me know if you are interested

The price: 500 euros.

Sold to : clovis86

My glossy white N9 arrives on Tuesday. :) I ordered through Viestimaa and it was shipped yesterday. Its already in the country as I received a call from DHL asking for duty/tax payment. Makes the wait even more unbearable knowing its here! :D

Just a quick follow up - I did exactly that, and 'got' it from them. It took them quite a while to respond to my email so I contacted Viestimaa in the meantime and they've agreed to send it as well (I contacted Katshing and gsm-store as well, but they refused to deliver outside of Finland). Luckily, guys from Verkkokauppa finally responded and I ordered it from them given quite the difference in pricing.

The shipping will cost me fairly more than 15€ (they only want to send it through DHL) even tho I told them to deliver it to me in the Netherlands which is by far closer than Bulgaria to them. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers :)

So, all in all, I'm picking up my unicorn N9 next week, and if you ever happen to pass through Belgrade and I happen to be around here - you have a beer on me :)

Re: The White N9 thread
 
As previously stated, these guys do:

Verkkokauppa

Viestimaa

Just drop them an email and ask them kindly if they want to ship it to the UK.

@zwer
Glad to hear that buddy! You wont regret your choice! Each day I feel lucky when fiddling my white N9.
Actually I have many good friends in Serbia - I happen to work for Serbia Broad Band(SBB - TotalTV) 2 years ago :)
Promise to drop you a line if coming to Belgrade to share a beer and pleskavica over a nice talk.

@jutley
Be patient, it takes few days for Verkokkaupa to respond, but they do at the end.

PS. I am thinking of buying a second N9 if price drops, this device IS truly amazing! Not selling it in any case, will make company to N900 and E61. :)

I contacted verkkokauppa to ask just that the other day, they replied a couple of days later confirming they would and telling me costs, trouble is I can't seem to register my address as UK on their website so not sure how I can order.

Just have to wait for them to reply to my next email.

Re: The White N9 thread
 
Received it on Friday and its beautiful :)

Don't know if its just me but the white plastic feels a little tacky... don't flame me I'm just being honest. My previous phone was a true aluminum unibody, the HTC Legend, so I think that's also influencing my perception. I think if it were matt my perception of the quality would be different but I also know dirt would probably be a problem.

When held in the hand it feels extremely solid... apart from the loose power/lock button that has some play at the top and bottom edges. This also doesn't add to the feeling of quality of the device.

The micro USB flap at the top of the device is also a bit curved inward so it does not sit flush like the sim tray does.

Screen and the filters are amazing. Looking at it straight on you cant really notice the screen edges. I can see the flaws in the pen-tile matrix though, but black and colours just pop.

Still getting used to Meego but its a lot of fun just swiping all over the place :D

All in all pretty happy with it apart from the loose button. I cant really fix that without shipping it back to the EU so I think I'm just going to live with it :)

edit: this is a "Made in Finland" unit from Viestimaa.fi

As has been previously mentioned, Verkkokauppa will ship to the UK, as they confirmed in an email I sent them a little while ago. Only problem at the moment is I can't figure out how to order as going through the registration you cannot select the UK as your country.

Have been back in touch with Verkkokauppa asking for advise on this issue, will update you when I get a repsonse if you like;)

I have been wanting to give them a call, but I am always too busy at work to remenber to do so and at the end of the day when I do remember, they have closed.

Nope, the ear piece is the same as on all other N9s - black - it doesn't change the color in dependence of the color variant of its hosting device.

Also, with the white N9 you don't get a silicone wrapper at all - instead you get a leather pouch.
