looks really good. has anyone here gotten the white one yet? i keep wavering back and forth on whether or not i should keep on the lookout for the white one or just plunker down and get the black one already

There's a pretty good deal on white Nokia N9's from what appears to be a reputable seller on ebay.

I think this is what you are talking about, this seller doesn't have a picture... Seems sort of shady to me, but it's cheap, if someone wanted a white N9, this is the place to get it from pricewise...

Yup that's the one, wasn't sure if we were allowed to post direct links to ebay auctions. Thanks for pointing out that the person doesn't have a real photo up, seems I've forgotten how to use ebay all of a sudden. But based on the person's feedback, seems to be safe.

yea i saw that, but i was still a little sketchy because there was no photo.

Special thanks to Blackwindexe for his rec of WElectronics for a place to purchase the N9. I live in Chicago and was able to go direclty to their store to purchase the WHITE N9. I got a "deal" on it relative to what I have seen it priced other places and was impressed with their store and service. Highly recommend. Also, I have never seen so many unlocked Nokia's before in my life. Wow!

Negrielectronics is great, but pricier than some.

Welectronics.com has stellar reviews. Many have bought their N9s from there. I believe it's one of the cheapest at $475. You do have to pay for shipping but they ship fast, and even after shipping it should be under $500.

Stick to welectronics or amazon.

welectronics offers the pink and cyan versions of the N9 in 64GB -- I was under the impression only the black and white N9's were offered in that memory capacity?

The White N9 64GB is about 800 dollars, a month's salary for me, and an exorbitant amount of money for a phone. Yet my clicker keeps hovering over the "checkout" button...

After I bought mine they only had one left in white. Better act fast if you want the unicorn.

Just ordered from welectronics (overseas electronics) over phone. The guy was very nice, and said hands down the white n9 is the best looking one (to him, at least). Hopefully this is the case when I see it for myself! He said I should be receiving it in one week. Longest week EVA.

How easily does the N9 synch with iTunes?

**ynohtna_lude** · 02-20-2012, 12:02 PM

So I finally got my black 64gb. I ended up buying on Ebay

This seller (if the above link dies later) http://myworld.ebay.com/cc-electronicshk

497 AUD, 15AUD shippng from HK. Threw in some stuff like car charger, screen protector, wipe cloth. Ordered on Friday, arrived in Vancouver the next Monday.

This thing blows the N8 out of the water.

I don't know why I keep staying with Nokia, each time, the hardware is a great upgrade but I've gotten used to less than ideal software. This time both the hardware and software is a great upgrade. Well I only have two days with the N9, and while it's different, I'm able to get to everything I really really need so far (emails (we'll see over time how reliable the push is), google calendar sync (I used to use goosync, don't need to anymore it seems), calendar feed is much better (not out of the box unfortunatley).... at least it feels like if something's missing, something can be done about it.... so far

congratulations -- i ordered mine on the 10th and it's finally arriving tomorrow according to UPS. Overseas Electronics (welectronics) was having a hard time obtaining a white one for me, but they finally shipped it.

I'm going to test the phone out, but i'm pretty sure i'm not going to keep it because there is no Yelp application available, only foursquare which I don't use. I can NOT live without Yelp application, so I'm mostly likely going to continue using my android phone.

I'll take some pics of the white n9 when it arrives tomorrow

All this 1.2 talk has me excited. Do you guys know of any online retailers that specifically have FIN's in stock?

**ynohtna_lude** · 02-24-2012, 04:25 PM

Forgot to mention that mine is a made in finland. Very surprised, not that it matters. no guarantee through from who I bought it from I think.

My seller cut the price down by 8AUD since I bought it!
