Best N9 64GiB prices?
 
I am interested in buying a 64 GiB N9 before they disappear from the stores or get to insanely high prices... I am personally looking for cheapest places more than warranty, etc. issues. Black or white I haven't decided yet. Any international online retailer is fine.

So far...

Amazon.com 64GiB Black $448 Same $440

Amazon.com 64GiB White $520 -> $550

Amazon.de 64GiB Black €460 -> €600

A few .de online stores, 64GiB Black Starting from €420 -> €523

Mobi City UK 64GiB Black £364.95

lelong.com.my 64GiB Black RM 1669

antzup.com (.es) 64 GiB Black €469 -> €449

Does anyone know better places or have experiences with any of the above?

Yeah, but I do not know any store from there (or Singapore) that would ship internationally.

Mustafa centre? I think,they are left with black...

thedead1440 2012-07-05 13:40

Re: Best N9 64GiB prices?
 
Magenta and Cyan N9 are only in 16GB...quite rare in Singapore due to people buying more of the 64GB one and its quite long so unable to find it currently...

No, i'll ask my contact to check.

Re: Best N9 64GiB prices?
 
Singaporeans check with handphone shops they are the best and cheap too if you can bargain well..


Edit: Ask if they have a bricked phone that's the cheapest...i know some1 got one for only $200 for the 64gb version...

Also vr-zone forums are a nice place to keep an eye on...currently nobody is selling there...but ofcourse you can post a WTB thread...

Re: Best N9 64GiB prices?
 
run a search in this forum, if you want to know the price of N9 in malaysia
forum.lowyat.net

Re: Best N9 64GiB prices?
 
I can find used ones in that forum for around MR1300 ~ 340eur. Not sure if it's worth the hassle, does not seem a bargain for used ones.

For reference, 64GiB N9s retailed there for around MR2000 ~ 520eur. Can't find new ones being sold today.

Got my 64GB from TransformersAndGSMPhones on Amazon. Nice guy, spoke with him on the phone. Shipped immediately via USPS Priority. Would deal with again.

off-topic,

i saw a n9 dissambly video, there is a wire attached to the n9 battery, then how do we change the battery of n9 if it is dead after warranty? thanks

Another Singaporean resident here :

I saw a 16Gb N9 on craigslist singapore a couple of weeks ago for SGD 300. You might want to look there as well. Once in a while you spot someone selling an N9.

and good thing is the lumia 800 uses the same battery so atleast Nokia will keep manufacturing that part.

If you are going to order from a retailer outside the EU, remember that you will have to pay for VAT and tariffs if the parcel is stopped at customs. Therefore, add a 2.5% tariff, a 18% for the VAT and, on top of that, a management fee of 20€ or so.

Best wishes.

Thanks, I do consider that. it means that for ex. a 50eur difference only is useless. Slightly larger differences 60-70eur. I also don't consider if they imply local warranty (=slightly less hassle).

Thus so far .de shops seem like the best option to me.

Hi javispedro. Thanks for your work. While it is true that the n9 will eventually disappear from stores, I was wondering what insanely high prices you (I guess anyone can chime in here) anticipate...

I don't think 64GB is selling at MYR2088 anymore :)

Well,new ones, for the prices of used ones just look at n900 history.

I bought an N9 for $448 from Amazon.com maybe two weeks ago now. The seller was Wireless Everything. The unit is from Vietnam, product code 059L9X6 for firmware purposes, manufactured in China, May 21 , 2012. The build quality of the unit is perfect. It came with a European-style power adapter (AC-16e) and a converter for US sockets that the seller included. I thought the convert was cheap looking and confusing, so I haven't used it, although the power adapter itself looks fine (that's the original Nokia part included with the phone). I power the unit from a computer or with the high-efficiency charger for the N900 (AC-10u, which can be found on Amazon, sold directly from Amazon and other suppliers for about $10). The charger is noticeably faster than using a USB 2.0 port on a computer.

I had previously ordered a unit directly from Amazon, which cost $40 more and came from the Philippines. I returned that unit, however; the side of the screen next to the buttons wasn't flush with the body of the phone (and at that time I wasn't sure that I wanted an N9 over an 808).

Re: Best N9 64GiB prices?
 
Another Spaniard here. I've been following prices of the N9 in Europe (you'll get a EU guarantee with them) and I'd say the best place to find them is at Geizhals:

64GB: http://geizhals.at/eu/654041
16GB black: http://geizhals.at/eu/654017
16GB magenta: http://geizhals.at/eu/654049
16GB cyan: http://geizhals.at/eu/654042

Don't get too excited with the Polish prices. I've never found a Polish reseller willing to ship abroad. German stores, on the contrary, are always happy to ship to Spain. If you can buy as a company, you may skip the VAT too...

Good luck.

PS: Maybe there are some Polish TMO members around? They might help with the 16GB black model...

White 64GiB N9 -> 319€

Now that IS a good price. They do not ship internationally though.

As usual. :(

I just can't understand that. Can anyone imagine a Californian online store that doesn't ship to Texas? What do we have the EU for? :confused:

Any Finish brave soul willing to help Spaniards here? I'd love to buy a couple of blacks:

Hey all,
I'm from Finland, and I have 9/10 condition black Nokia N9 64GB.

Body: usb-cover is missing, otherwise super fine

Screen: some minor scratches, which can only be seen on the right light and angle, cannot be seen when screen is on

Unlocked.

Comes with silicon case and OEM charger.

Will ship everywhere, if buyer pays the shipping costs.

Can provide pics and answer questions, just ask!

Re: Best N9 64GiB prices?
 
For what it's worth, a cyan 64GB is $824.99 USD. But it's much cheaper to get a black and swap the casing with a cyan.

MarcAnton 2012-07-18 21:00

Re: Best N9 64GiB prices?
 
Seems N9's getting rare, special 64GB version.

Tried to order one since last week offert in several onlineshops (price from 380 - 450Euros).
Everytime I got told that this device is out of stock now, they don't know when or if they get new ones.

Best price I find now is about 498Euros (up to 650,-!)

So I think I have to stick with my 16GB one, see no chance to get a 64GB version to a acceptable price. :mad:

Found a Spanish online retailer, Antzup , they have the 64GiB Black one in stock at 469eur. Not a good price but German retailers seem to be disappearing (cyberport also says out of stock now..).

EDIT: Gigantti.fi already seems to be out of stock for the White 64GiB. Black 64GiB still at 319eur.

I purchased my 64GB N9 from Amazon for $440.99. However, Nokia doesn't support their manufacturer's warranty in the US. I plan to buy a warranty plan from Ensquared.

The purchase was very easy. I ordered it July 2nd and received it July 5. Amazon is very reputable and the seller HasselFreeCell is highly rated. If anything, Amazon has great customer service. Good luck!

I still miss my old black 64 from Finland. It's been 6 months? One of the most memorable mobiles I've ever owned. I'd still like to pick one up but not for the $400.

I bought the exavct variant, now i'm having problems updating the phone to PR 1.3. The updater on the phone won't show PR 1.3 update & navifirm plus wont show this variant on PR 1.3 release, so i can't flash it either.


Were you able to update your N9 to PR 1.3?
Please help me.
