hi hi all, my gf has been wanting an n800 like mine to watch movies and listen to music
with kagu and instant message and all the other great things i do on mine. But today
we were shocked when Frys in Concord California, who had one yesterday, were sold
out and not getting anymore. The price tag said $200.00 when it was 329.99 the
day before. The employee said its a nation wide discontinue and it will no longer be
carried anywhere. He tried to tell me its because of the iphone and ipod touch but i set
him straight by telling him the flaws of those closed system devices. Then we went to
circut city where they said the same thing. Both places checked all the local stores
and Frys found one in Texas and the customer service person asked me if i can pick it
up. I live by sf in california how dumb can that employee be. They also couldnt ship it
to my store since it is discontinued. This is a tragedy such a great device no longer
being sold in stores. I thought sprint was going to come out with an n800 with a sim
chip or something? Wonder if they still will? Guess ill have to get her a new one on
ebay. Just thought id let you all know my experience and what dissapointing news this

I don't think Fry's ever sold the N800 much.. Circuit City still lists it on its web siite , along with the navigation kit.

Paragraphs are nice.

Why didn't anybody tell me before? Unlocked! At last! I've been looking for clues on how to unlock this 770 of mine for over a year now, but there's nothing about it on the web. Seems to be darkest magic...

HAhaha the retail monkey at FRY's in Oregon told me back in May that they stopped stocking N800s because nokia recalled them to be "made Vista compliant" and then returned to stores..

The guy didn't understand that there was nothing windows related on the n800 that need such an offense.

When I was in calif, I was lucky enough to buy mine at CompUSA for $239 in Willows ave. Concord before they closed. The retail monkey at the FRY's there told me the same thing. Something about them being made window's compliant. I never bought one after being told that to check to see if they added a vista compliant install cd.

My friends there in Concord said that they never saw a N800 in stock ever. Just some old beat up 770s way in the back near the computer monitors at that pathetic little PDA section.

Nokia marketing at it's best.

Got the same frustrating run around and odd explanations at Fry's in north Atlanta. Even more frustrating, they still had one last 770 in stock!!!

From a Fry's employee (friend of a friend), I have heard that Fry's had trouble supporting the770 (lack of Linux knowledge, etc.).

We do need to remember that these are open-ended, still a bit immature, and mostly "geek toys".

Just order one from Amazon - got mine about six weeks ago for $328, after a discount, inc. shipping. The free shipping got it to me in 2 or 3 days...

Nokia needs to do the following in the U.S. market:

1. Get a swift kick in the jimmy. Apple did that already with the iPhone and have returned for another kick with the iPod Touch.

2. Find that guy who went on some news TV program with the N95 when the iPhone launched. All the baiting in the world from the beotch across the desk from him couldn't get him to even mention the word "iPhone". He's bad-@$$.
Get HIM to get out the word more throughout the various news media outlets that Nokia "is coming". Make the damn thing like a viral Jaws commercial or something.

3. Whatever that touchscreen Nokia thingy that leaked out, FINISH IT and get it out there. I'd rather buy that since I know Nokia's going to allow 3rd-party software on it as well as provide a good SDK for it, unlike Apple and their iPhone offering.

4. Rejigger the Hildon interface on the N800. Those huge icons and bars taking up all that screen real estate should be *optional* not *required*. And fix all the damn dpkg/tar bugs introduced in the newest firmware.
Basically, have the tablet team actually listen to us. So far they are a little but only via reporting critical bugs on their bugzilla.

Just remember that 99.9% of all people who work at consumer electronics outlets are phucking *****s. Everytime I'm in one of those places and they keep asking me over and over again if they can "help" me I tell them that since they couldn't "help" themselves in the first place by finding a better job just what the hell makes them think they can help me? I also inform them that if I ever need help finding something in their store then their store layout is phucked up.
God, I miss Germany. That crap NEVER happens over there.
