Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 
I have a colleague/good buddy in Singapore who I am preordered through for a 64gb N9...price translates to about 684 USD. I can ask him if they are limiting preorders to one per person as they did in Finland, according to my buddy at Nokia, or if they are unlimited preorders...this seems to be the best price so far for a 64 gb one...

I'm just trying to get a 16gb cyan, its dumb how hard it is to get this thing into the US at a reasonable price at the moment. All in time i guess

A nokia distributor in Costa Rica (where I live) just told me it will be available the first week of December. Yes, December :-(

Since the phone charges via micro-USB, I'll probably not even unwrap it.

True. But i'd like to have it for going away (vacation, weekend trips to the shore, poconos, etc.)

Yeah but just about any usb charger will work just fine. A quick search at mco gave me this:
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wire...sp?keywords=n9

Looks even smaller than the one supplied with the N9:

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 
If you want a Magenta N9 16gb from Mexico, it'll be only via Telcel it seems. Cyan 16gb, Black 16gb and 64gb are via regular channels and stores.

I'm sorta ticked that my friend told me today that he had yet to send the Black 16gb from Mexico - it slipped his mind (he's getting married, so I can't get too upset). Funny how well I can actually curse in Spanish when pushed... didn't know I still had it in me. Weirdest news is that October 17th was an internal date, no set date - they're pointing to Halloween as the official date now - for a full release. Telcel will have some graphic on the lock screen - that's the new rumor (boo).

I'll talk to my Egyptian "bro" - funny, the dude in Mexico is also my "bro", I taught him Photoshop like a decade ago, now he's a damn creative director - who's in Dubai tomorrow to find out more.

Seems like all of the colors are available, but 64gb ones are hard(er) to find. I'll get the particulars to all tomorrow on this one. And my earlier price does include shipping...

Thought I owed you guys an update.

Epa hombre, que pass con Mexico! I do want N9, I do, I do. Just spoke to my lover who has family in Dubai. Will see if she can get it to me. But keep on the Mexico list. Cyan would be great, although other colors are fine too. thanks, bro. You are a REAL amigo.

Sorry for responding somewhat late. Had to unplug a bit.

The purchasing process through Mexico seems to be the easier way to go. I mean, totally easy.

I do have one on the way from Dubai finally - got the information on shipment today actually. But I'm waiting to see what happens with the N9 from there as well. Any tariffs, anything. Our last dry run, I had to pay something extra for customs. They had opened it, inspected it, stated that it was worth a lot more than we had put on the customs label.

I found a way to dispute it, but we're seeing what happens if we're more honest this time... we'll see.

Black 16gb is somewhat available, but only through his means it seems. Not in stores. Magenta went to Telcel, he's seen a few Cyan ones. No 64gb's in site or being stashed in stock.

Tomorrow is the "soft launch" - the 17th - and he's going to report what's available to me then.

Dubai, the 16gb and 64gb Black are fully available in Black. Cyan and Magenta 16gb are available 2499 AED - which is about 680 USD. I don't like that price, but he's fellows with the shop owner. Bulk pricing is available, we just have to hit a magic number.

I'm finding his capability to fill out orders now.

I don't have a lot of concrete to report - no damn N9 in my box yet - but the above is all I have for right now.

I've got that same information from my contact in Dubai as well.
Him and I are both looking at the options for purchase and shipping.
I'll keep you posted as well.

Never been there too. Heh... now that would be funny.

A group of us fly there, just to get one... and cause general havoc while there.

I'll be the drunk one.

Request N9 be carried at Newegg
 
Hello All.

For those in North America who would like the N9, I suggest we all request Newegg.com carry the phone. Hopefully if they see potential to sell many devices they will place a large order from Nokia.

It will take too long. And its unclear how many are they producing anyways.

I don't know if it is going to work, but I've put my feedback in there: "There is a demand for this phone in the USA even if Nokia has chosen not to sell it here"

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 
Expansys USA prices are live... & insane
http://www.expansys-usa.com/nokia-n9...k-64gb-220309/
The bottom of the page has... "Discounts available for orders of 5 units or more - call 1.309.834.0323", So i called them & talked to a representative. Basically, the "discount" was only $15, give or take a few $, no matter how many units i would've bought. He said they're getting shipment on Fri.(10/21/11), but their only getting....
50-16GB
25-64GB
(Didn't ask what colors)
I then asked if that's all they ordered, & he promptly said "That's all we can get". This is sooo ****ed up.

Convert those to GBP and they're verging on the bargainous
They still appear to have fabricated the Cyan and Magenta 64gb variants though

Did my part. And yes... Expansys is out of their blinking mind.

Told you I didn't want to pay their premium.

For that amount of money...its worth checking out Helsinki babes....and at least feel like you can justify the purchase with a trip to a place you never been to

I wonder how good they are with returns? If I cant connect to my work email, I will have to return it.

Mobile city online has better prices than Expansys. Still to rich for my blood tho...

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 
And... today was a weird *** update.

16gb Black and Cyan aren't going to be in anybody's hands to buy for at least a week. They just hadn't received enough stock as of yet. 64gb Black N9's aren't showing up until (wait for it) possibly late November.

TelCel has 16gb Magenta, but not looking like they will sell until end of this month. The rumor is still that they will brand the lock screen with that weird dashed "T" that comprises their logo.

Dubai, they have all of the colors and the prices are somewhat reasonable. Malaysia still has the absolute best price(s) though.

I've been in contact with Mobicity.com.au - needing to send in passport, driver license, et al... that's pretty invasive in my view. I understand that they are trying to avoid fraud; find a better system though.

Today sucked. I expected a true soft launch in Mexico with all of the numbers and stock as well as prices known by now.

No such luck. Bleh.

It's really no trouble. I asked my contacts, we already call each other regularly anyway... it's just the whole process of getting it.
