I can also vouch for Negri Electronics (see post with pictures here http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...ostcount=10168) - ordered a 16GB Magenta and it came in 2 days. The power adaptor in the n9 box is not a US-type one, but they sent a converter in the box, too. If the initial boot is to be believed, this n9 thinks it's from Australia (defaulted to that as the region when it did its 'first boot what time is it and where are you' sequence, like the n900).

Hah. Mine thinks it's from Singapore (until I flash it, at least).

If you avoid taxes, that is a good deal..

According to tweets from HandTec UK, they still have 64gb black N9s unallocated from their first shipment, which will arrive with them and be immediately shipped out tomorrow.

Does anybody know whether this is a EU phone (i.e., made in Finland as opposed to made in China)? If not, feedback upon getting it would be great, thanks! :D

I'm the one that's been badgering them about this, and that's not quite what Handtec say. They say that they should have sufficient to cover current back orders; they make no comment whatsover about any excess stock

That's including the UK's favourite Sales Tax at 20%. Presumably you wouldn't have to pay that - just shipping, any import duties and your local sales tax. Excluding all that, the starting price is about $766 for the 64Gb model

That would be a very reasonable price. Thanks for the clarification. Can someone ask about the white 64GB version? Thanks!

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 
has the negri electronics website listed 64 GB always as "place back order" but were still shipping? since some of you already received the 64GB from them, or has this been recently changed? if it has been recently changed, anyone knows roughly when they changed this?

It has changed yesterday or the day before... I got in touch with them, they said they already placed an order with their supplier, and should receive some stock next week. They also said this is currently one of the top seller products :)

Ah thanks for that - otherwise I would be pestering each day! I took it from this tweet that all the preorders will be sent out with the first batch. So unless we've matched the numbers just right I was assuming they have more.
I guess we'll see tomorrow when their website switchies from "coming soon" to "tiny amounts of stock available, buy buy buy".

I'm sure I speak for a lot of the UK contingent when I say I'll be watching handtec.co.uk like a hawk tomorrow morning :)

I wonder if the pink ones will be more readily available :P

Sorry for the cross-post, but I've been vocal in both these threads since they started, so...
Where is it made

UK availability expected from the 3rd of Nov.
Thanks OwenG,
I was giving up on a UK sourced N9. I had the 64gb pre-ordered on Expansys, but have swopped for the 16gb (hoping it will arrive sooner).

There's no sign of any stock arriving for Mobilefun.co.uk

Hello,
I ordered also from Negri on Monday got the Phone on Wendesday.
It's a blue 16GB and it has no branding on it. It's made in China

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 
I chatted online with mobicity australia, they said that if i sent the phone back to australia in event of a failure, the warranty would be honored there. Anyone know if this is true? Price before shipping is like $685 (16gb, that's enough for me).
I saw an ebay seller that claimed he had 2 with the warranty and was only keeping one, so that's how i came up with mobicity as a dealer.

Does it matter what country your n9 was meant for if i plan on using it here in the US?

How about warranty at mobilecityonline.com in the US, warranty?

I really want this phone, but am worried about having a $700 paper weight.

Thanks,
Joe

For most online purchases where the product has no warranty in the country sold, they have to be returned to the country of origin for warranty. This is the way to sidestep companies fencing up territories through warranty control. I don't mobilecity in U.S. can get any Nokia warranty for the N9 which Nokia has refused to distribute there.

The N9 has Pentaband 3G so it will work in any country in the world.

Thanks for the reply sam.
I'm aware of the lack of warranty in the US based on an imported phone, i've done it a few times in the past with old nokia's, but nothing that costs in the $700 range.

If i buy one from another country is the procedure to send it back to the seller, the seller then sends it to nokia, then nokia to the seller, back to me?
I'll assume a nokia service center in another country is not going to send it back to the US.

I'm curious to as if anyone here in the US has ever had a warranty issue with an import that was successfully handled.
While i've had imports, they were far less expensive and none ever broke.

If anyone has had a good experience with a seller in this aspect, that would be a plus for that seller IMO.

Yes, that's the procedure. You'll have to ship to seller for warranty who will claim warranty on your behalf and ship back to you. Nowadays with fast courier service the turnaround time need not necessarily be longer than local service. The length of time in the service centre is a more important variable than the shipping time.

You'll have to check with the seller who pays cost of courier. Some sellers will pick up the tab, some won't. Yeah, it's a bit scary dealing with an overseas company on warranty issues so the experience of others who have dealt with the same company before are invaluable.

Hey guys,
Just curious about the whole Starhub branding of the N9's. In which countries are the phones unbranded. Apparently Whymobile and Negri are both branded Starhub. What are the other phones branded? Thanks.

That's not necessarily the case, I know some people got N9's from Negri and they weren't branded by Starhub.

Do the unbranded phones just have a Nokia startup sequence? I know I shouldn't quibble about such things but that kind of stuff annoys me.

Which of the various sources listed here aren't branded?

How do you find the N9 product code ? Mine 16GB also came from Negri and is without any operator branding.

Expansys.ca has the 16gb with 62 in stock currently for $794.99 I got excited thinking it was the 64gb version way too expensive for 16gb http://www.expansys.ca/nokia-n9-smar...k-16gb-220310/
