n900 preorder on Nokia USA
http://www.nokiausa.com/find-products
If this is a repost please delete. $650 isn't too bad! If tmobile picks it up we can expect $300 sub. |
Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
hmmm... I'll have to think on this. The thought of not having to carry my 800,phone and GPS device is very tempting indeed. My bank account will be in jeopardy if it comes out before my birthday. :-)

Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
sell the gps/ 800 / phone and you'll have half the money right there :)

N900 USA Presale
For all you lucky buggers in the US, NokiaUSA is offering presale of the N900.. US retail price $649:
http://www.nokiausa.com/find-product...#/main/landing Even includes free shipping and a free Bluetooth headset! (Anyone in the US feel like putting in a pre-order for those of us in the rest of the world?...) |
Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
I would love to put in a preorder, but its gonna cost me another $50 with taxes on the http://nokiausa.com site. With the phone already being $650 and I won't get it any sooner, I think I'll wait until it hits some online retailers.

Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
I wonder why they don't mention it at all in the order page. Bet there are gonna be lots of disappointed people... or.... could it be that Nokia will release a proper quad band for the US afterall?

Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
this device will mainly be used on WiFi unless a carrier is involved, and then, it may be more attractive to buy it from them with a healthy subsidy. Its just like the N810 WiMax Edition.
|
Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
im buying it without subsidy as your remember when the mytouch was released tmobile specifically said it will be there star phone "for the year" so i can see this being released next year which i cannot wait for, im to impatient and money comes/goes. Plus i spend probably 200 dollars on McDonalds a month alone lol (no im not fat which is the odd part)

Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
I have also pre-ordered mine. Along with the free bluetooth and shipping they offered me a second year of warranty for $20, which I bought. Did everyone else get the extended warranty?

I think I might opt for the $20 warranty when I buy the N900. |

Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
VERY tempted to get this pre-order. Was going to wait until Tmob picked it up, but I have some serious doubts it will be picked up before 2010.
Have to think on it. |
Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
Don't believe carriers that say "this is our star phone". That's just like Nokia saying the N97 will be the flagship. Yeah, for 5 minutes.

Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
1st post, been lurking a while. I'll start asking questions later.
I went ahead and paid an arm and a leg to pre-order it directly from NokiaUSA because... 1. I wanted it NOW! Ok, so I'm weak...but there's no guarantee T-Mobile will ever get the phone even if I waited. No one I've spoken to at T-Mo knows anything about the N900 - or won't admit to it. 2. I'm not due for a full upgrade discount fo another year and a partial upgrade price wouldn't save all that much money. And again, I'd have to wait to see if I'd even get that. 3. I'll have the pure, unadulterated generic USA version - no missing features, reduced specs or capabilities, carrier-specific apps or UI changes, all the stuff providers are so fond of adding/subtracting to "customize" their specific versions. So may be worth a little more if I sell it later or nicer to use if I don't. Looks like about a month 'til I'll have it in my greasy hands...gonna be a loooong month... |
Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
Just spoke to a fairly reliable source within tmobile USA and he said there were no plans to pick up the device this year. So ..... Take from that whatever you want and also with the usual disclaimers etc.

Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
What will nokia/t-mobile gain with being mum on this word? They can say :
" At this point we do not have any deals with t-mobile but we may look into that in the future" or " Yeah we are working with t-mobile to subsidize the phone" For me either way it will clear confusion and let the customer make an informed decision instead of keeping them in the dark and making them wait. |
Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
Pre-ordered. Too bad I'll be out of town for a month when it ships...... maybe I can get it forwarded.

However, I am kinda curious how the change from Maemo 5 to v6 will affect things. Guess I'm gonna find out... |

I understand in most of the world no subsidy cost means you get a cheaper rate, but no such luck in the US, No carriers do that here. |
Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
at&t does. you can get web for almost $10 if unlocked, $25-30 on a subsidized smartphone.

Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
Just one last Q before I pre-order - It says available in select markets Oct 2009. Does that "select" include those pre-ordered for the USA?

Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
I'm on the fence about pre-ordering. Is everyone pre-ordering because they are worried about nokia raising the price once released? Because the odds of t-mobile launching a subsidized version any time soon aren't looking promising and they're just willing to pay a premium to get it NOW? (i'm in the 2nd group, assuming t-mobile is going to drag their feet for more than a month, of course there's no way to tell anything at this point) :(

Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
Excellent news about the shipping. And based on what I have read and a conversation with a couple of engineers inside tmobile USA - I dont think we are going to see the n900 for AT LEAST 6 months if at all on the tmobile network USA
|
Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
@bleomycin: raising price? I've never heard of that happen on any other devices. the only occurence of raised smartphone market prices that i know of is with the iphone, and that's mainly because of scalpers taking advantage of shortage of supplies.
