Hmm is n900 still being under production by nokia till today?

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

I doubt they still produce it

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

Quick!
Everyone sell their N900 while the value is high

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

Glad I have one. Wish I had two!

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

Then where do they get all the n900's from amazon? Old stock?

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

they kept a stash cuz they knew the community would make it a worthwhile device

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

will you look at that !!!!!!!! there is something going on here, maybe they have the last few stock n900s ever, and they want to take advantage of that, anyway for me thats good news.

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

I know Amazon lies about their quantities.
They listed having 8 in stock when I bought mine; and it never went down (I checked multiple times per day). I highly doubt they got a shipment of one at the same time mine was shipped. ;)
I'm pretty sure I saw postimgs about others buying at the same time.

That said, it's likely their auto-pricing algorythm going nuts again... you heard about the $23Million book, right? :)

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

I wouldn't call that an appreciated price as much as it reflects scarcity and some semblance of demand.

Now... if you can sell your phone for higher than you bought it, yes... your used one... then that would be appreciation.

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

Well well well look at that oh my god am speechless.

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

Maybe they just increased the price since demand might of increased because of Meego 1.2 DE?

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

Maybe they increased the price preparing to put it on sale so they can claim a bigger markdown.

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

yup! check back in 28 days time for a huge "discount" on this price.

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

No, it did not. Amazon had it for 350, then they ran out. The 550 is from someone else through Amazon. Amazon list many items as available from several sellers, including Amazon, some new, some used.

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

it says in stock

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

WorldWide Distributors is not Amazon.

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

What about amazon.fr here in France ? the price has really increased.

http://www.amazon.fr/Nokia-T%C3%A9l%.../dp/B002N2Z0MQ

448.99 € or 664.90 $ .... In stock, ships from and sold by amazon.fr.

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

Maemo phones have a history of appreciating in value...

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

It could be the rarity of the device that's pushed the price up, could even be the level of demand has increased significantly or people are just thinking 'Damn!!! This is the phone I should have bought'.

But, does this actually prove what we've been saying all along?

"Dear Nokia.

When you ditched the N900 and Maemo, you dropped the big one."

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

Don't mean to rain on anyone's parade but the phone is being sold by a third-party retailer. In other words, Amazon no longer controls the pricing...

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

companies i usually bought mobile devices have n900's out of stock. and amazon still have some.......:confused:

EDIT: these guys still have some too

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

There's only been one Maemo phone released... well, only one Maemo tablet with the ability to make GSM based phone calls.

The rest were pure tablets (770, N800, N810, N810 WiMAX Edition)

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

I had a feeling this would happen. I got mine about three days before the price went from 350 to 430 and now this. Mine says 44/2010 on the box, will be intresting to see what the latest production date is, so if you have one please report. Last time when the N810 started disapearing the price went down, so the uprise is puzzling, maybe just temporary out of stock. If you are on the fence, better get one when the price drops below 400, this the first and last resistive-screen-keyboard-linux-mass produced phone.
man I love this keyboard.

£299.99 cheapest new at AmazonUK. Works out at just over $501 US.

£10 dearer than their cheapest listed N8.

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

I just say Meego conference 23-25 May....

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

where did you find production date?

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

Its true and its amazing...

It could be the weakness in US Dollar making imports expensive into US so new stock must be high price.

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

Are we all supposed to jump for joy or something? ok so what it is being sold for more by a few greedy companies.... so what?.

This thread is bloody stupid, it has no point whatsoever.

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

are you intending to troll again? :)

Re: N900 is the first phone to appreciate in value after 1.5 years
 

I got my 2nd N900 1.5 month ago for 399EUR.

www.geizhals.at says
345,20EUR at amazon.de is the cheapest
offer (http://geizhals.at/a457621.html) but I see
it there for 319,90EUR from another seller (not Amazon).

I should have wait.
