is Nokia removing n9 from North America?
 

... gone from newegg.com and newegg.ca, expansys & most other places with notices it's been discontinued - all of this hapenned within a few days, and just after various reports thatn N9s were outselling Luminas. Is Steven Elop trying to cover his *** by ensuring N9s don't embarass his Windows phone?

Re: is Nokia removing n9 from North America?
 

There was only so much stock of the Nokia N9 made, this is why they are disappearing. It is much too expensive for retailers to try and get their hands on to sell at mediocre profit levels. If you really want one, you'll fine a way to get it, if you don't well, that's another story.

Simple answer: Poor sales.

maybe you stop trolling people. it's time to stop, think and take reponsobility, Mr. Elop!

Re: is Nokia removing n9 from North America?
 

wrong since every n9 here is imported by independent stores, so there is no "sell through #" that has to be achieved


more than likely its limited stock +

people(other than hardcore users) have started to hear about the phone +

the price point has hit a spot where the more people are willing to shell cash out for it


*please dont think i'm a fanboy of nokia, i have far too many devices to be a fan boy of anything* just dont spread FUD

The reports that the Nokia N9 was outselling the Lumia series might be exaggerated... or misleading. Without confirmed numbers, that's unconfirmed as of yet.

To see the N9 being removed from Newegg, et al... it's not that surprising since it was originally not announced in the North American market. It just seems like they've hit a new low in price, around $480 or so and the demand has dwindled, as invariably as the stock they were able to acquire.

I'm contemplating a cyan one if I decide to sell my extra black 16gb N9.

Its simple economix. If there was a limited supply and high demand, the price would go up.

In this case there was a limited supply and LOW demand, and prices went south. You can pick up these phones on amazon for under $500.

The answer is therefore: Poor sales.

It was likely to happen sooner than later... the economics of Demand & Supply had to play a spoil-sport. Enthusiasts & ppl of ken [nothwithstanding the fanboys] know/knew it's worth - while Eflop hooted it-out from the assembly line... and AFAIK, it's production has completely stopped already.

I also notice that it's shelf-count/s on the mkts where it was launched [and did seriously well] has dwindled lately [Middle East is one such]. Meaning: -there r no more stocks, or its abysmal. And also remember, there r hardly any M/I-Finland N9s around... most being the Asian makes.

So, even if folks desire - how do they get it?

Bottomline: Soon it'd be available only @ premium prices. It was a collector's item on launch... and will forever be. Thus folks, if u want one - the time's now... Go Get It! 'Coz, tomorrow might never come!

Troll's rant/s apart - this device is a "Gift of God"... A once in a lifetime opportunity - intuitive & addictive - a keeper. So, how can someone even compare it with the sham-drabs [the likes of iOS, Android, WPOS devices combined]? My MeeGo-H is a KICKA55!

What with North Americas, it'd soon dissappear from other regions as well.

I hope newegg will restock the N9
I really want this phone!

Re: is Nokia removing n9 from North America?
 

Even if it is poor sales... Poor sales != poor device.
Lots can & has been done to curtail the chances of it selling well.
The reality is it was never going to be an amazing seller in many(most?) markets.
I could smell that coming from quite a few months back.
I'm surprised so many people thought otherwise...
Again, it has zilch to do with it being a poorer device.
