Where to buy N900 with QWERTY in the EU
 

Hi,
I know, that expansys.de and .at sells the N900 with the QWERTY layout without umlauts.
Are there any more shops that sell these versions in Austria or Germany?

Are you sure it's not an error on the expansys site? They seem to have copypasted the English description... And it's not uncommon that people refer to a full alphanumeric keyboard as "QWERTY" even though the actual layout is different. They simply don't know better. I would be suprised if expansys would sell imported English/American devices.

I got a confirmation (from expansys.at) that they sell the N900 in QWERTY EU version and asked them, if there are no umlauts on the keyboard.

it does not matter which country you order from as long as it is part of the EU.. so you might wanna check on UK as it is about 480eur (lowest I found), keep in mind you need an additional charger for 12eur if you order from somewhere with another wall-plug

btw there are other threads about this issue asking some kind of the same question as you and the "does nokia germany sell qwerty" guy

Cool, that would be great! Now I'm going to look for a good online store in the UK and take a try.

Re: Where to buy in Austria or Germany N900 with QWERTY
 

Wow. That's daring. They'll have quite a few returns, I'd guess.

Re: Where to buy in Austria or Germany N900 with QWERTY
 

im not even so concerned with the arrow buttons, what concerns me that the german version doesnt have an own "," button, instead you need to press the blue button first!

i`d rather buy the uk-version an use "ae", oe and ue, and have an own dedicated "," button, that aside, the umlauts still could be accessed via virtual keyboard.

I'm also going to buy the UK version. The cheapest I've found so far is http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/2346/.

Re: Where to buy in Austria or Germany N900 with QWERTY

I've already ordered my N900 at handtec online store.
They don't know when it will be available until now.

What exactly does the German layout look like? I can't really find any pictures :(

Re: Where to buy in Austria or Germany N900 with QWERTY
 

as far as I know, I will use the arrow keys to remap öüä to them as they have no second mapping.

the amazon.de one is a fake

Re: Where to buy in Austria or Germany N900 with QWERTY
 

Well that sucks :'(... looks like I'll be looking for a way to get a cheap QWERTY...

Re: Where to buy in Austria or Germany N900 with QWERTY
 

german layout has umlaute (ö, ü, ä) and only 2 arrow-keys (left and right). up-arrow is mapped on left-arrow and down-arrow is mapped on right-arrow.

but i guess this is not too much of a problem since you can change the layout of the keyboard to english...!?

Re: Where to buy in Austria or Germany N900 with QWERTY
 

Yeah, but remembering where the remapped keys are is difficult without being able to touch-type (I actually do this with all my PC keyboards because I'm too cheap to pay for extra shipping from the States)...

Re: Where to buy in Austria or Germany N900 with QWERTY
 

Any idea how Nokia handles warranty claims, if you buy the device from another EU country?
At least outside the EU this seems to be a problem. e.g. there are reports in this forum from Canadian N8x0 users who bought their devices in the US and did run into trouble when trying to claim warranty.

Re: Where to buy in Austria or Germany N900 with QWERTY
 

please dont hijack this thread I quickly answered the hijacker question, which was already answered in two other threads and discussed as well.

Please keep this to collect places to order a EU querty version within the EU. (ordering from US is not an option because of fees +600eur)

within the EU you wont have any problems

that's why this thread exists!

I bought my QWERTY N900 here:

http://www.purelygadgets.co.uk/

They had a pretty reasonable price (320 GBP) and cheap shipping to Germany (8 GBP). They did, however, send me the US version -> only 12 months of warranty.
