So is N900 availeable on contract/subsidized anywhere else besides Finland?
 

Finnish operators started shipping N900s in early December. You can currently get it subsidized from three out of the four large networks.

I noticed that some UK networks will start offering N900 in January, but is availeable or announced anywhere else?

In the Netherlands shops get subsidized by operators if they sell a contract including a phone. If I buy an N900 with a TMobile 20€/month contract for 1 year the phone's about 300€

3 in Sweden will sell it, and in many other stores and can get it subsidised with any operator, same as with most phones (just like in NL above)

02 in the UK also originally subsidized it too :) - then voda did some form of deal, meaning vodafone was the only supplier for a while :) - think that will all change next week though :) - looks like with any new firmware release it may go public :)

In Denmark you can at least get it subsidized with Callme and Telia.

subsidized by mobitel in Slovenia 420 eur or so for a basic 2 year contract down to 350 with a 77eur/month contract iirc

Re: So is N900 availeable on contract/subsidized anywhere else besides Finland?
 

77 euro a month and 350 euros to buy it? holy hell thats expensive!!

i'm on a £35 a month contract for 18 months with a free phone... (Unlimited texts, internet and 600 minutes)

Re: So is N900 availeable on contract/subsidized anywhere else besides Finland?
 

Well I think they give you some free stuff... I wouldn't know... not even sure about the price. Could be wrong.

Ok went to their site and checked:
Povezani 44/77: 44/77eur/mont and 329 for the phone
Povezani 33/55: 33/55eur/month and 389 for the phone
Generic subsidy: 429 - i.e. take any contract for 2 years
Full price: 619
The folowing are some extra services I have no clue what they are about but for the 77/month they are free some are even free for lower priced ones.
M:Stik/M:Povsod Integral Integral Poslovni BlackBerry BIS
BlackBerry BES BlackBerry BES+BIS

I use Si.Mobil - a Vodafone partner - always have and probably always will - bought my N900 at the local Nokia store for 619eur and pay 4eur/month for cell service and 18eur/month for 20gb data service.

did any of those networks so far do anythihg nasty to the OS or install useless software etc?

Re: So is N900 availeable on contract/subsidized anywhere else besides Finland?
 

Didn't Finland use to have a law against "subsidizing" phones, or was it just against locking them to an operator?

If so, can they lock the phone to an operator now?

(or did I dream it?)

Re: So is N900 availeable on contract/subsidized anywhere else besides Finland?
 

I know there is law against subsidizing non 3G phones or locking them down, but not really relevant anymore. Operators can lock the phones, but i have no idea how common that is as all my phones have been unlocked.
