Purchasing an N9

**jonnyjl** · 10-23-2011, 09:36 AM

Good information to know. I should get my N9 tomorrow from Amazon Germany (I couldn't wait any longer)... Looks like it just passed customs (I live in the US).

I will get N9 on Thursday, $670 with 3 day shipping from Australia.

Yeah please let us know. Since it's so hard to get an N9, any information is definitely helpful.

Thank you, I am still on the fence, but at least you helped me answer the question of 'how', now I just need to answer the question of 'why'.

I can't wait, I already traded in my 2 year old 3GS, currently slumming it with an old BB Curve.
I am getting either this or the galaxy nexus in about 2 weeks.
There are some core apps I was really hoping the n9 would have like Shazam or SoundHound (and a few more) that has kept me on the fence, maybe the launch of the new white n9 might finally push me over.

Anyone have any experience with micro-SIM cutters? Can anyone recommend one?

I should have a N9 in the coming weeks but I am currently researching if I should just cut mine or buy a micro-SIM off of eBay.

I received my N9

GREAT phone. like other said, if you have patience, you can save a few bucks
I love my purchase so far. it's a breath of fresh air in smartphone arena.

Is anyone else N9 Made in China? I thought these were made in Finland.

I used my home scissors and knife. Works without any problems.

Well don't expect the white N9 to be available within 2 weeks. The galaxy Nexus already looks cheaper. You may want to weigh both in what apps you need. The app community for the N9 will take some time to grow. I am waiting for the white N9 as well, but it will take some time for it to release and the demand for it seems to be high. So when it releases, I'm sure it will be hard to get as well. Hopefully they make enough of them.

I read that only the N9s in europe were made in Finland. The ones in Asia and the East were manufactured in China.
