Worldwidevoltage.com is selling the 16GB N9 for $629. Not many red flags that I can see. Anyone familiar with them or anyone in Illinois want to check them out?

what is teh big hollabaloo about pentile anyway? who cares as long as teh screen looks great. We should worry more about black and white levels, vivdness of colour, and viewing angles.

EVERYONE likes the n9. What a shame

Sure, if it doesn't concern you that their price is a full $120 lower than Expansys US...

as posted earlier "we are the community" says it all . we kept and are keeping the n900 going 2 years down the line based almost entirely on community apps/support . with the exception of webos games (though preenv is community made) everything is free and made by members here . im sure the same will be for n9 too . we only need some pr updates along the way like happened with n900 .
myslf i use 16gb card with my n900 so would not even consider the 16gb n9, i need about 16gb just for tunes let alone films,games etc. its no suprise the 64gb is hard to get as nokia know it will be more popular considering only a small price difference.

just gotta get one now which unfortunately for me in the uk with limited resources is pretty much never gonna happen. still i keep positive cos you never know !

I love my N900 although still a bit ticked off with Nokia for abandoning This phone so early on. The promise of basic MMS by tech support was as joke that never had a punchline. Of course we are lucky the have FMMS and all the other cool apps in the repositories.
Cool or not just cannot see buying another phone the N9 that will have another soon to be defunct OS that they won't support. Nokia moving over to windows really? lame. Microsoft had such an early jump on a decent mobile OS as I loved My HTC Excalibur yet after the wm6 upgrade it all feel silent for yrs. Nokia seems like they are all over the place with their devedlopment and a cool phone with a robust OS that would last more than a model cycle would be cool.

Obviously a much better pixel density than SGSII.
But at a sub-pixel level it's back to where the Nexus S last year was.*
Maybe I waits for Sammy to bring SAMOLED+ 720p in Q2 12', yum

*not entirely accurate.
now does it run maemo harmattan?

Jalyst, it's not that simple. Depends on several things. The Theory is one thing, in practice another.
There are NFC stickers with bluetooth, other NFC stickers without bluetooth. Stickers without BT don't communicate directly with the Phone, but can do payments (rabobank/Netherlands). Yet the SIM-card only hosts the secure element. Phone to SIM communication not via bluetooth. A Korean firm claims it made an "all in one NFC SIM-card", with whole NFC hardware onboard. (to make an NFC Phone of any Phone) Soon we see if its thru.
Google announced; Google Wallet doesn't work with NFC stickers !! And for N9 ? Depends on Nokia, depends on apps, depends on local virtual wallet systems, depends on.....
Looking at what Nokia said, yes, N9 can support payments next year. http://www.nfc-phones.org/secure-pay...are-solutions/ Everyday i'm busy many hours updating and adding info. Still a long to do list...

Did you know ?? Since 2009 there is already an NFC adaptor available for the iPhone. It's not from Apple. Same principle as an NFC case and stickers.
Where did Nokia say the N9 can support payments next year?
I don't see that on your web site...

Interesting, I certainly hope this "all in one NFC SIM-card" comes to pass very soon.
Seems like it might be our best chance for ubiquitous secure payments for the N9.

There does seem to be some weirdness, I've been following this thread closely...

I think it's simply pentile symptoms, & the users there were expecting something different.
