Went back today to exchange the rattling unit, and there's at least one or two left between the three branches on Tott. Ct. Rd.

Be aware though - I overheard the sales guy demoing one to someone in front of me - they'll try to sell it to you for £330 unless you specifically point out the lower price in the catalogue like I did - lucky for me yesterday they kept me waiting for ages, so much so I got bored and started flicking through the catalogue :D

Grrr. Still awaiting mine which I pre-ordered from these guys at the Stuff / What Hi-fi show for £284.99, inc free 2Gb SD & free delivery. Been verbally checking my order status daily for the past week. :(

Well I guess I should be glad to hear they've now received stock. I just better receive it the next 24 hours.

I don't believe they're being 100% honest about the price as £284.99 was the special show price, 5% off R.R.P of £299.99. I reckon they increased the price after they realised most other retailers were pricing it significantly higher.

it has function-key shifted symbols (in blue in the top right of the key) for Yen, USD, euros and the uk pound sign. Seems to me (based only on that mind you...) it's one-keyboard fits all?

Not necessarily, I've seen US keyboards where the pound (£) sign is totally absent and replaced by the # sign (which the Americans also call a pound sign).

And even if the British and US ones were the same, it won't be like that across the rest of Europe as other languages require special characters such as ö and ä and å which are so commonly used that they require dedicated buttons.

Aergh, hardware keyboards are such a mixed blessing at launch periods... :)

Re: N810 availability in Europe

I've just bought one from Micro Anvika. It's shipping today :)

Of course I also have to wait for a memory card to ship from another supplier. Good job it has some internal memory :)

Re: N810 availability in Europe

Micro Anvika rang me back today.
Was going to arrange courier to work, but turns out one of their dispatch team lives round the corner from me and kindly offered to personally drop it off 21:30 :)

Nice screen. Loving the keyboard, very welcome!!

Somewhat concerned about the screen. Top left (browser button) seems to have a little play and is noticeably less responsive. Hopefully this will settle down...

Well I can't say I'll ever use these guys again. They don't ship when they say they ship and you have to fight tooth and nail to get a tracking number out of them (And I still don't have one). Expensive and poor service. Not recommended.

Re: N810 availability in Europe

Re: N810 availability in Europe

Great news for Iberia (Portugal and Spain).

i spoke with my friends from PAK and they were given an estimate from local retailers that they might be getting shipments from nokia before the end of December.:D

i will research this matter and i will speak with nokia to confirm.

Re: N810 availability in Europe
