Great detective work. Pity though sounded a great price. Maybe someone in Malaysia could still verify.......

I wonder if there will be any black friday/cyber monday specials ? Not straight up on the N9, but eg. $100 off any order over 500 or 600 type of deals.... ??

FYI, on Newegg the price is now 630. Save a couple bucks. Good to see it's getting easier for US buyers. I'm waiting though for a 64GB. Might jump on the Amazon seller.

I just called mobilecityonline:

1) The phones (64gb) are from China.

2) They claim that for warranty you'd have to mail them overseas and Nokia USA would tell you where / how. He was talking about the process taking 60-90 days.

I also contacted FGS Trading, who sells them on Amazon, with some questions (origin, warranty, etc). Never got a reply.

@vip

Yes, got the same reply from MobileCity: made in China

I've contacted FGS Trading before, they simply told me they refuse to give me that information. Then I used another account and asked them a list of question one of which was the make, and they responded to every single one except the make. lol. So definitely made in China.

So far only Yellow Deals has them from Finland.

edit: and by the way, it's pretty interesting that Lumia 800 is also apparently having lots of hardware issues and guess what? also made in China from that one famous factory. Nokia's own factories weren't equipped yet so their Finland shipments came a little later and at smaller numbers.
