"Select markets"?
 

According to the press release
Any tips, hints, rumors on what markets would get it?
With N97 not even released on my neck of the woods I guess I'll sit and wait while playing with my N800 :mad:

Re: "Select markets"?
 

It's on the German website already: http://shop.nokia.de/nokia-de/default.aspx

Re: "Select markets"?
 

You can preorder in Italy, too. I did. 599 € will soon be out of my account.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

According to a post here on t.m.o., and who am I to dispute that august body, the n810 had 7 keyboard variants: us, fisenoda, ptes, fr, de, ru, it.

I assume the n900 will be the same.

Is it this which drives the "selected markets" thing? The only Nokia european websites I find taking pre-orders are Germany and Italy.

Assuming the US model is available on the same date, why can't they release in the UK as well?

In Forum Nokia:

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Since we're experct speculators, my guess is as follows:

British English, American English, Canadian French, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Swedish, Russian

From the N900 language support section, they probably wouldn't do languages spoken in countries where they aren't selling, right ?

Re: "Select markets"?
 

That's just a region tag, not all countries are a go. For example I know the N8x0 was never sold in Hungary, even though it's in the EU and all.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Why would it differ from the n810 seven?

us - British English, American English
fisenoda - Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish
ptes - Portuguese, Spanish, Latin American Spanish
fr - Canadian French, French French
de - German
ru - Russian
it - Italian

Just got to fit in Czech, Dutch and Polish (maybe on German keyboard)

Re: "Select markets"?
 

No idea what it would be, but going by the recent 5800 and N97 launches I'd say it would include a few random European countries and somewhere in Asia. Americas launches are normally handled separately because they use different frequencies, and the Americas are traditionally weaker markets for Nokia anyway so they normally come later.

(Apple usually does launches in the US first and Europe later as Europe is a weaker market for Apple. Get your strong markets first, then move on to less sure territory...)

But that's all guesswork. Maybe Maemo's US links and the tablets' relatively strong sales in America would bring the N900 there first? That would make some sense too.

It's all so new it's unpredictable...

In any case, they usually go global within half a year of the "select markets", so if you can sit on your hands for six months you should have it wherever you are.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

I'd check the availability of the N900 from the online Nokia store in Canada, but they don't have one.

I suspect Canadians will be getting their N900s from the States, just like we did with the N800.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Spit it out :/

The only sensible fitting of Polish can be done on US version. (Z-Y, Polish has its own diacritics - don't need umlauts).
Problem with "phonification" of IT is that with old versions I could safely order from USA. Now I am not so sure if unit ordered from US can be safely used in Europe.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Nokia.pt also has it ;), nothing about the release date so far.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Well, it does say Canadian French, why would they bother with it in that case ? No Canadian English, though... :) Might be just that they don't do preorders or that the launch date is slightly off.

EDIT. Oh. You mean no Nokia store *whatsoever*. Oops.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

In France it seems to be announced at 649€... more than elsewhere, as usual, but in the same time frame (October)... which would be *very* unusual :-)

Re: "Select markets"?
 

I'm virtually positive that I got my N800 directly from Nokia. I remember waiting what seemed like months, but may only have been weeks, for them to appear on the Canadian website (which I had almost come to the conclusion had been abandoned).

(edit, indeed I did, I just found the shipping confirmation email "Thank you again for shopping at store.nokia.ca." [...] "for a 0276317 N800 Internet Tablet") shipped April 2007.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Not necessarily, 500 euros is the price before tax...

Re: "Select markets"?
 

I'm guessing it would show up here for Mexico eventually http://www.nokia.com.mx/productos/to...los/nokia-n900
Not holding my breath though :rolleyes:

Re: "Select markets"?
 

649 euros is the expected price in France, according to French sites.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Actually, I got my N800 from the Canadian Nokia online store. I can remember being very glad to have that choice. It took a long time for it to show up, though...

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Where's the "eh" key on the Canadian English keyboards??

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Yes, the Canadian store was such a GREAT option... lol... nothing worked on it and they killed my developer discount code the one time it was accepted.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

:(........

Re: "Select markets"?
 

lol... this thread hit Google pretty quickly:

Re: "Select markets"?
 

It's the equivalent of the ENTER key on a US keyboard, eh.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

it does? great! if only I knew the shipping date... going back home soon and would really like to get my hands on one instead of waiting for it to reach the US.

EDIT: it has it but not for pre-order :-(

Re: "Select markets"?
 

it says coming soon on the nokiausa site!!!

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Great! Very glad to see this!

Is the link to the N900 page.

Notify me button is broken. Chatted with a Rep online, said it was being launched for preorder at end of week. ;--D

Nathan.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Yes the notify button was not working for me either. Is there a bug filer for the general NokiaUSA site? It said:


Don't worry, it's not serious, but it looks like the page you've requested isn't available.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Either that or it replaces the period. ;)


I always figure "select markets" is every market but the one I'm in... :rolleyes:

:eek: sourceid=ie7

Re: "Select markets"?
 

What really sucks is that Australia will not get these devices anytime soon. We were left out of the entire 770/N800/N810 tablets. No doubt we will get left out of the N900 and I'll be forced to buy from US or EU

I do love all of these devices though and have had to import in the past :P

Re: "Select markets"?
 

lmaoooo that made my day

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Available in Poland for pre-order
http://sklep.nokia.pl/nokia-pl/produ...&culture=pl-PL

for 2499 PLN (including all taxes; E606 according to todays exchange rate - seems pretty consistent across Europe, even not in euro area).

This is the same price as N97 (with BH-102 Bluetooth headset - the only option on nokia.pl); N97 mini is selling for 1999.

Re: "Select markets"?
 

There would be a great deal of irony in Australia being unable to get the Fremantle device...

Re: "Select markets"?
 

Nokia officially announced that N900 is not coming to Israel. I guess we are not a "select market".

Re: "Select markets"?
 

The N900 will start selling in the Czech Republic in mid-October, confirmed by Nokia Czech, among other things, in their recent presentation for Czech press and on Czech mobile sites. The UI is almost fully localized. About the Czech keyboard - from the live pictures provided by the reviewers, it appears that here in Czech we will have the same layout as the English keys have, that made me happy.

Oh and btw, Hello, my name's Jack :D

Re: "Select markets"?
 

I somehow don't believe anyone would name anything after our little town :p

Re: "Select markets"?
 

is Fremantle is a town i aussie? i live in aussie but i don't know that lol.. Nokia aus put N97 mini as coming soon but not N900... sigh... cmonnn....

Re: "Select markets"?
 

in Czech we have the N900 coming soon already:
