I can’t wait to buy it…
Does anybody know when n810 will be available in Europe ?

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

There is a German press-release which says mid-november. It should be the same for Poland.

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

OK. Thanks. I hope, price will be affordable :)

Just posting to say "Hello fellow Paderborn tablet user".

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

:cool: Unfortunately my N800 got broken but amazon.de repaid the whole price to me, so I am (desperately :( ) waiting for the N810 instead of buying a new N800.

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

It will be available the 7th November i think.

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Any sources to prove that? (7th November would be a LOT early than I would have expected it!)

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

It would be nice if everyone can post links of e-stores you know of, which will be selling N810 with internal shipping all around Europe (i.e to Finland) :)

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

I think the application timeframe for the maemo device program ends around the 6th or something, so it's safe to say that it should be available shortly after that date.

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Source : don't remember, but it's if i remember the date when the gps priced functions will be selled.

And the maemo device program end on 04/11/07 if i remember.

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Any news on the European release-date? (I can't wait!!!)

Re: N810 availability in Europe

First time post, so be gentle ;)

Sadly, the emoticon icons on the right of this comment box aren't working on my computer. If they were your screen would be full of the wide-eyed one with his mouth open. That mirrors my own expression right now.

I want to say that this is probably a mistake but, you know what? I think it might not be.

By the way, USA readers -- £499 is a little over $1,000. Or 719 Euros.

I suspect if you shopped around you could buy a flight to New York, buy an N810 over there, and bring it back to the UK, all for less than £499.

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

This seems to be way too much. The German Nokia press-release mentioned 450€, even if the UK has higher taxes (I don't know) it is still too much!
Thus I would think the date is also wrong. (Hopefully!)

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Google products search currently returns 1 result:

£234.99 (£199.99 ex. VAT) free delivery.

No date unfortunately, just called them too.
Pretty good price considering I paid £260 for my N800 only a few months ago.

Nokia will be showcasing the N800 at this weekend's What Hi-Fi show:
http://www.bestofstuff.co.uk/hifistu...ssid=pressRe14

I'm sure I heard somewhere they may also use this event to announce the UK launch of the N810.

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Looks like the N810 is indeed being released at this show.

the UK launch of Nokia’s N810 Internet tablet

Doors opened today and running for the rest of this weekend.
I think I may go tomorrow. What are the chances they'll let me trade in my N800? :D

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Play seem to now be offering it at £289.99 (quoting that as a £210 saving), with a release of 28th November :)

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Supertrader have increased their price! :(
£258.50 (£220.00 ex. VAT) - Still no release date.

Shame Nokia don't provide some sort of trade-in deal for existing N800 owners.

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Today at DigiExpo (Helsinki) I got the chance to "feel" the N810.

+ feels great in hand, nicely designed.
+ keyboard feels bigger than it seems in pictures
+ GREAT screen :eek:
+ youtube's videos http://internettablettalk.com/forums...ons/icon14.gif, in a watchable-way.


* I would like to have the fullscreen button on keyboard though.


In Finland you can pre-order from verkkokauppa.com ( 469€ ), I asked one guy from Nokia about the possible price for this and he said it's gonna be likely 550€ from Nokia's store :( 2x the N800's price right now.

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Had a chance to feel this baby too today, at the What Hi-Fi Sound & Vision Show, London, UK.

I had concerns over the full-screen button too, although confident I'll adjust.

Didn't manage to win one at the show, so did the next best thing. I pre-ordered one from Micro Anvika who Nokia had partnered with at the show, offering a 5% discount off their £299.99 list price, down to £284.99, free delivery & 2 GB card thrown in. Not too bad.

Nokia quoted a release date of 28th (or 26th?), although the Micro Anvika sales person advised I should expect delivery in approx 1 week.
When I queried this with Nokia their response was along the lines of, "typical sales people."

As a bonus I got to chat with the star of the N810 promo video too! :D
He even took a pic of my N800... but only because he was impressed with the Proporta Alu-Leather case. So I took a photo of him taking the photo, of course! ;)

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Like I've said in multiple threads, the software is near final release, but there remain some kinks to work out. If it's available at the end of November, that would be quite soon. I think everyone here can say they'd rather have a solid product, and undoubtedly we don't want to release anything less than our best. This testing process is quite thorough.

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Got a look at the 810 at the What HiFi/Stuff Magazine show in London yesterday. The staff at the Nokia stand were quoting "end November" as a delivery date. Which is about what I was expecting. They were offering 5% off retail, free delivery and a free 2Gb card for orders placed at the show with Micro Anvika.

I have to say I was impressed with the 810. I had my 770 with me for comparison and the 810 was a bit smaller (about the size of the 770 without the silver cover) and a heck of a lot lighter. The keyboard also wasn't as jammed up against the rest of the device as I thought it would be, quite usable.

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

People are now able to buy these in the USA. So when does the rest of the world get to play?

C'mon Nokia! I have money that I want to give you. The very least you can do is give us an idea when I can do that.

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Any news in Europe?

Re: N810 availability in Europe

This doesn't shed much light on the subject in the meantime, except to say that the Maemo team recognise it as a real problem.

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Most of Nokia's products come out first in Europe, partly because they're a European company and partly because Europe is their biggest market.

However, from what I understand the tablets completely reverse the situation, they seem to be much more popular in America than in Europe, so it makes sense that the US gets them first (especially with Christmas just round the corner).


If the release version of the N810 is already on sale in America, then it sounds like European availability is out of the Maemo team's hands. AFAIK they just do the design work, they're not responsible for actually manufacturing and distributing it.

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Indeed, but I also seem to remember this situation at the launch of the N800: end-users were getting devices before the discount codes would work.

Although the Maemo team will have no responsibility now, they're the best point of contact we've got to try and sort it out - or at least communicate clearly what the situation is.

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

And from what Texrat said in another thread, the tablet that are going to be shipped from on-line orders are flashed right before shipping. So this might well mean that we can get a newer firmware (by "we" I mean whoever gets it on-line from the Nokia online store).

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Just a thought : it's the first tablet with locale-specific hardware. Just making and managing those country-specific keyboards for us pesky Europeans is probably reason enough to go for the US-qwerty mass market first :-)

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Yeah, but I'm lead to believe that the US & UK keyboards are the same :-)

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Very true, I want to extend my geekage now.

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Quite, but then that wouldn't be fair AT ALL for your fellow Europeans, now, would it ? :-)

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

I could live with that :-)

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Sheeesh :-)

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

England doesn't use the euro, therefore we are special and should get good stuff sooner. Is anyone else following the logic?

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

why don't nokia simply sell the tablets with a some missing keycaps and a kit of caps then you can make your tablet into whatever nationality you wish?

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Oh, quite. I guess there must have been another reason back before 2001 when all other countries had their own local currency, but memory fails me ATM :-)

Re: N810 availability in Europe
 

Because either they'll start falling down and you blame them or you could buy them and not a new tablet :)
