POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

Just curious to know what the trend is here.

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

Any word when/where the white 64Gb model will become available?

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

around 2020 or when eflop get fired

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

it's on preorder on some places, shouldn't be too long now - definitely by new years holidays it will be shipped

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

I personally think that the white model with its glossy finish and the bold contrast of the white body with the deep black of the screen does not do any favors to the aesthetic of the device.

Compared to the white model, in my opinion, there's much more harmony in the black model aesthetics with its matte finish.

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

black 16GB, with a red silicone case on the way

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

I have a cyan 16gb. I keep the cyan condom on it, always.

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

i wonder what's with the cyan and magenta 64gb then? there's hardly any in sight, either sold out or out of stock - i can't imagine cyan and magenta would be a lot more popular than black

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

64 GB Cyan & Magenta are non-existent, that's why there not even listed as options in the poll (as of this message, there are no plans of producing N9 in those combinations).

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

black 64GB... wouldv loved a cyan one though.... or even an orange one *hint hint*

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

i wanted a blue 64gb N9 but couldnt find one or wait for one :) black it is... the blue one looks sweet

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

I just got a Black 64GB SIM-free :)

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

I still have the idiot idea in the back of my mind to buy a 16gb cyan and transplant the case onto my 64gb black.
I do love the smell of voided warranties in the morning.

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

Despite the number of participants in this poll being just a small-small representation of the real number of people who have gotten the N9, I find it a little surprising that as of this message, the 16 GB Magenta model has gotten so little votes (0 as of this message).

Very interesting.

My hypothesis is:

a) Most of the people willing to fork $700-900 USD on just a phone are going to be guys, not girls, and magenta = pink, a socially girly color (disclaimer: as a guy, I think there's nothing wrong with liking pink, I for one, like pink formal shirts in suits).

b) Of the minority of females that do seem to have an interest in gadgets that is big enough for them to fork 700-900 on a "non-supported" device, it is my appreciation that this subgroup of females usually do not relate to the stereotype of the girly-hello-kitty-kind and they opt for more masculine aesthetics.

I think those two reasons above explain why the Magenta option is the lowest picked choice among buyers. From a sales standpoint, very telling about the market demographics, don't you think?

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

Nahhh, look at the number of females with S2 & Iphone - lots. The N9 do look sexy ya know

Let me give you a hint.....
1) 64GB is popular, but only available in black ;);)
2) N9 is for those who dare to explore, not those who's wondering what in the world is Meego

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

I wanted to get the Cyan 64 - but it's not to be seen. The Black 64GB version came available, so I bought it.

Still would have preferred the Cyan 64 - but the black screen against the black body does look very good.

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

As long as you have $$$ for cyan N9, the case swap can be done in 10-15 minutes, depending on how steady your hands are. Removing the screen from the case is rather easy, it on has like 2 or 3 screws holding it.

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder - I personally cannot stop drooling over it :rolleyes: I'm a big fan of clean colors, high contrast, and such, especially white-black combo as my car could prove ;)

Voted for White N9 tho I still don't have it - will get it the first day it appears in any shop in my vicinity, so it's as good as mine :cool:

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

guys what you think of getting black n9 and use soft cover blue? Will you still notice that it is a black n9? Currently only black n9 is available at expansys.

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

well.. i have female friends that prefer the cyan over magenta.. so yes

i think the market for the magenta is more of the younger female teens... and possibly the mothers that want to be hip
the only problem is, these young females dont have a job to make an acquisition of such a phone nor will their parents buy it for them.
As for the mothers... well... they most likely arent that interested in gadgets, so they would be following the trend (iphones) or be opting for the simple phones, just to make phone calls


it would be nice if, once they release more colours, to go to a store, pay a small amount of cash to change the colour...
i really want an orange device... it would be smexsy

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

Congrats to the poll respondent registering the first vote for the Magenta 16GB model. At least the category shows a number, and I'm genuinely glad. :p Yay!

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

Actually, I must say that even as a guy, I find the N9 in Magenta also extremely hot-looking. But any color is looking hot on the N9.

I only got myself a black N9 because I couldn't wait three weeks longer until it was available at German retailers, so I imported it from Denmark.

Otherwise I would have bought a Cyan one.

Someone willing to swap his/her Cyan one with a black 64 GB? :p

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

Good to know danramos is alive and kicking ;)

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

Id get the magenta if i had the patience to wait 2 weeks, but alas the first shipment i got my grubby little hands on were black n9s... thus i own a black n9.

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

Were you serious about willing to swap your 64 GB black N9 for the 16 GB Cyan or Magenta model? I also have the black 64 model, but I'm just curious about what you said.

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

Id switch my Black 16gb for a magenta 16gb in a heartbeat though.

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

Or better yet, you can get the Magenta/Cyan device reincarnated as the Lumia 800, that way you get to have both a black model and a color model, but you get to play with two different OSs.. a win-win :-D

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

Yep. Don't need the space. Was just very impatient on getting my hands on a N9.

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

I voted white 64gb, I don't actually own the white 64gb yet...
But that's what I'm ordering the minute the bloody thing's available in Australia.
If that ever happens, sometimes a srsly wonder....

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

My hypothesis is that people who like the magenta one are not the people who had a Maemo device, probably never even heard of Maemo, and even more probably never had the reason or inclination to ever log in to talk.maemo.org :)

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

It's hard to believe that the non-available White 64GB N9 has gotten more votes than the readily available Magenta 16GB N9.

And I'm positive that the White model is going to have a premium charge over the already over-the-top price the N9 has :mad: Crazy expensive.

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

The Magenta is just not too practical.

Especially in a world where getting pink for a man would be considered gay, how could a normal person sport it? If you're going to stand out, it's obviously easier to go for something more aesthetic like White or Cyan rather than attract attention for the wrong reasons if you were to get Magenta.

Yes you could defend yourself about pink being ok for guys, but good luck convincing the people in the bus or street who see you using it - you can't stop what other people think and they're damn right to think anything.

I knew Nokia made a mistake by offering Magenta as a color, they should have chosen something else like Red, Green, Yellow whatever.

And if one wants to think in terms of pink is for women, obviously that's also not true as I bet you've encountered lots of women who don't like pink at all. I could imagine some celebrity buying it, hardly anyone else though.

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

Is it me, or don't you guys find it ironic that the one category that shows an overwhelming majority of the votes, the BLACK 64GB, has a graphical bar in MAGENTA color?

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

vote went to the black 64GB

not that i intend to spend 600 to 700 bucks on a phone...
with a 64GB N900, with a physical keyboard (YES) i simply can't imagine
plus got a (black) N8 for the broken N900 and, honestly, except as a MP3 player i can't stand the touch screen; not that i use the kbd on the N900 that much except when in XTerminal (or the vkeyboard doesn't want to show up or accessing a contact quickly from the desktop or so) but still... even though there is a long way from the 7710 8 yrs ago to the N8, touch screen ONLY still isn't my thing :mad:

thanks gawd the N8 has a camera button :D
would be a shame not to use that
even thinking about getting a set of those :cool:

if i can get a device with my contract renewal next summer which sells for 500 bucks on the "parallel market", i might consider forking out the remaining 200 or so to get one, though.
«...the end» ¦-)

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

One really should think in terms of women as they tend to make up roughly half of the population :) It's a mistake to think in terms how many ladies (or guys :) ) you know don't like magenta. The question is how many of them would be compelled by it because it IS magenta, especially as the base form really has a very broad appeal (i.e. offering the N900 in magenta really would be a mistake).

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

Lol, a lil off topic but I came to Tysons Corner Mall to get my sim cut at a kiosk a friend owns, but I walk by the grand opening of a Microsoft retail store and there is a line to get in. They have some Lumia 800s I think on display or demo. I'm so gonna go in there and breakout my brand new n9 to see the reactions I get. Will update once I get kicked out.

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

Black 64 GB. Who got the white one????

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

People voting for the white one are doing so on the basis that that's the one they will be getting as soon as it gets released from the gates in the following weeks (in pre-order as of this message)..

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

Just to alert anyone on this thread maybe wanting a different colour - can I suggest putting yourself on the freshly-started stock case swapsies thread?

Re: POLL: What color & model is your N9?
 

...oooor they work at Nokia.
