N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Let's get this focussed discussion under-way. As the title says...
This thread is only for discussing where to buy the 16/64GB N9, when, & how much.
Not even accessories are to be discussed, as that's what this thread's for.
Tis purely about finding the best deals for everyone, wherever you may be.

Can one of the mods please sticky this thread?
I'lll try PM'ing one later if it's not done by the time I wake.

This person's supposedly offering a okay-ish deal on 64GB N9's for those who don't mind buying from the EU

He/she also seems to have a solid track-record which is important. Thanks to aeoroneous for this find.

I live in the Netherlands and it's not going to be in the shops here. I wonder where the other dutch people are going to get their device from. Wait for Belgium and then make a little trip?
Does anyone know any trusted preferably dutch sites that import it here?

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

But, there is a thread started specifically for the same reason, by me!

Duplicate!

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

I drew attention to mine to everyone in the main thread.
Haven't seen you do that...
We're just trying spin-off topics that need more detail/focus into their own threads.
I don't care either way....
If you want to actively maintain the thread you started, fine by me.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

I'm under the impression that if you buy the phone from an import shop and it breaks and nokia care refuse to repair it, the import shop (at least the first year, maybe more, depending which one and where) will ship it back where it was imported from, have it repaired, and shipped back to you.
This won't happen with an ebay seller..

If you think this makes sense, please consider it before buying it (even if you want it so badly ;) )

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

So how long will it take to ship from Denmark to Socal from that guy?

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

why another thread ?????? this is rediccculos.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Indeed I completely forgot about the other thread. I think this one could be merged in the other.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Thanks for the posts peeps, keep em coming!
I'll add it all to the OP soon....
Plus maybe throw in a link to a google docs article
So more than on person can be updating from there etc.

*update*
I contacted the mods sometime ago to arrange a merge.
Nothing from them yet...

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

I find using the Report Post buttons is the best way to get attention of mods to ask for thread merging, stickying etc.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Phew, mine's safe, it better have been!
They only told me about it after I chased them up via email 2hrs ago!
But it apparently had come in much earlier...
Already they're getting pushy about me coming in to get it now etc.
I've secured a tacit agreement on holding it till Monday.
But I dont trust them, so I'll probably be in before then.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

yep that was the case with me. The guy said that I had to come in tonight... so I did just that :D

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Yeah I couldn't believe the nerve, I'd only just been told for freaks sake.
Plus I was the one having to chase them up constantly... anyhoo...
Were you able to barter the price down a little, or have the headset removed?
I couldn't care less about the headset, I really don't want to be paying for it.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

I've registred times ago at nokia.ch and nokia.at to get an email, when it will be available.

Got now finally the answer with the following searching engine for Switzerland

Edit: the mail shows the N9 and for availability links to this url.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Thanks for that!

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

yep, bartered it down to 799, the same as online shops and the same as what harveys at indooroopilly were offering. I still have one there on pre-order, but its strictly for a friend who is a ex-nokia employee in the US

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Oh boy, i dont understand why anyone should by N9, when iphone 4 is selling for $600? you are all a bit delusional. And no one has yet to post a full review? blind leading the blind on this forum

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

I'm sorry to be brash, but I don't need anyone to tell me what not to buy. You don't know my financial status. I can afford it. I have disposable income.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Reported. I encourage everyone to do that with all of BBG posts.
He never adds anything of value/use/interest.
I'm yet to see him make a coherent argument whenever he's challenged further w/his claims.
Gets shot down every single time.....
And yet he continues to make them, hoping to win some people over to his one true love.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

64gb iPhone 4S is $849 unlocked. Here's the Canadian prices to reflect my prior statement

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

No he's trying to argue the iP4 is vastly superior :rolleyes:
Anyway this is off-topic, carry-it-on & I'll report you again BBG.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

I was just stating the unlocked price of the iPhone 4S at the same size as the Nokia N9.

Can't argue facts.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

N9 64GB is USD665 in my country. Iphone 4(not the S) 16GB is around the same. So, it's not delusional, it's cheaper when considering the additional 48GB ;)

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

iphone4 is pretty much bug free. it just works anything you throw at it. N9 is still highly unproven, and given NOKIA record, my skepticism is more than justified. iphone 4S shoud cost more as the engine under the hood kicks N9 tiny a ss.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Reported again....
Sooner or later the mods will come round, & you will be gone.
Thank God for that too.
You're not interesting, or even entertaining any more.

We get that you love iOS, believe it or not many of us use it too.
But you always fail at making any interesting/constructive posts.
You're merely here to trash this party, so you're not welcome.

Ironically if you'd been behaving this way in one of the major Apple forums.
You would've been banished many a yore ago.
You're a hard-core fanboy, pure & simple.
Most folks here are techies 1st, & fanboy's 2nd, if at all.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

In that case, why are you in this thread, or in this site for that matter,lol. I wouldnt use Iphone, too restrictive. Eats up a lot in terms of data rates too with all that connecting(in my country), just to get to Itunes
Please go to the Iphone threads for your Iphone discussion

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

You jest. Or you just don't know what you are talking about. For example, it was only back in March/April that Apple had to release updates to iOS 4 to fix over 30 acknowledged bugs

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

And yet, here we iphone, mac, ipad owners are. Get over it.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

keep reporting. already complaints about sluggishness and need for overclocking, people unable to connect to their work email, so so battery life, and i yet have to see unbiased user reviews on this forum

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

If you don't want to seem as such a troll, it might be wise to post the sources.

edit: On the other hand, I think this may be entirely the wrong topic for this.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Lol, and still here. So free to troll around other brand threads or jealous cos not being released in your country.:p :p
Quite a number of S2 and Iphone 4 owners in my country ended up buying it after trying. And rather impressed with the UI. Imagine, dual core users liking it.
Iphone 4S, nah, too expensive(comparing prices in my country), data rates will kill too

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

many people are so impressed by Swipe UI and like the n9 design! at least in singapore where iphone is number 1

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Your wish is my command. Soon I will get a petition going.
Start your own anti-n9 thread & make your wonderfully compelling arguments there, why the ip4 (let alone 4s) is vastly superior in every facet
In short... Get out of this thread asswipe... ;)

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

$822.59 USD shipped internationally from this site. http://www.mobicity.com.au/nokia-n9-64gb.html

Anyone knows a cheaper source please let us all know. Also found a store in NYC that said he could probably get it. I asked him how much and he said to call him back Tuesday. If I can get a group discount of sorts or the price is better than importing I'll start a post and let everyone know. I would gladly organize a group buy if I could.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

More and more I'm thinking about getting an N8 for now. Symbian Belle is intriguing, the camera can be my awesome P&S, and I can have a great multimedia center on the go. Less than 400 on Amazon.
When the N9 drops to a more reasonable price (and hopefully better availability) I'll be all over it.
Unless...

"N9 is Available now on australia websites.

smoothmobiles.com.au
mobicity.com.au "
It seems like this could be the better deal for any US guys. (credit to @anismistry) With the Aussie dollar being near even with the US, you can take that price almost at face value. Somebody else mentioned the ability for those sites to subtract near 10% (I would guess more like 8%) for the GST since Americans don't have it.
Thoughts?

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Minus 10% because Oz has GST, then use a conversion tool, Oz dollar is slightly stronger atm.
This thread is for discussing prices of the N9...
To discuss whether you should get the N900 instead of a N9, please start a new thread.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Ahhh, ****. Ha, my bad jalyst. I was originally looking for a post (prob in the huge N9 thread) about current N9 prices. I must've found the wrong one and pasted it without reading.

To clarify, I HAVE the N900. haha. I was thinking N8 but if the Aussie places can get the N9 for a decent rate, I'd be in.
The smoothmobiles site has it for 795 (64GB) so that would be roughly 715 assuming parity (it's close enough in any case.)
That's not the worst price I've seen. Not sure what the other .au sites have but I'd almost be willing to pay that and consider it an early adopter fee.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Ah okay gotcha. Just pick your retailer...
Subtract 10%, add shipping, then type "$xxx aud to usd" in google search.
And then you'll have your price.

There's heaps of engines in Oz, I haven't looked around heavily yet.
But this is one of the better price search engines...
http://www.getprice.com.au/Nokia-N9-...bile-Phone.htm
Best retailer price listed there is $745AUD, not sure if they ship OS though.

Remember though if you buy from Oz...
You'll want to have a contact who's happy to act as a intermediary between you & Nok Oz.
As the service centre's unlikely to be happy to send it back to the US for you.
You could always try checking 1st though I suppose.
If you arrange a pre-paid return satchel, & they're feeling helpful, they may oblige.
Also the retailer might be happy to act as the intermediary.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

I would wait 4 months. NOKIA phone prices drop by 50% after few months. I see no reason for N9 to be different. It is interesting to see what are the preorder numbers for N9. I suspect they made limited quantities, and may ramp it up if demand there. I doubt it will be there due to the deficient ecosystem

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

@cincibluer6

Don't listen to a thing this guy has to say, he makes up FUD on regular basis as though it's FACT.
Or sometimes FACT intertwined with pure FUD, so as to colour it with a little more legitimacy.
He has a hidden agenda, no fair/balanced thought bubbles will ever come from his direction...

Will update OP soon with all the new facts (where they're relevant/useful)
