Hey caa,

Can I ask what power adapter came with your white N9 - is it a UK plug, or a foreign plug with a UK adapter? And were the accessories all you were expecting?

I only ask 'cos I ordered my N900 from purelygadgets.co.uk back in August 2010, and not only did it take a week longer to arrive than they said it would (thus ruining my summer holiday that I'd planned to take it on!) but it also came with what looks like a Japanese or Hong Kong plug coupled with a UK adapter, which I thought was a bit weird, considering the device was available in the UK. See pic here: http://bit.ly/zfC8Fw

Also it didn't come with UK accessories, like those mini-adapters for old Nokia plugs.

I emailed purelygadget a few times about these things, and they fobbed me off, saying "we HOPE to deliver within 2-5 days but..." and "with regards to the box contents, items may differ depending on the suppliers..."

I've emailed them just last week again about their white N9s (this thread has only just now reminded me that I had a bad experience with them last time with my N900), asking whether the N9 would be a Finland version or China.

They replied firstly, "We are unable to guarantee origin would be from Finland. We can only confirm that all stock in hand is for the UK and EU market".

Which kinda sounds like they don't know what they're talking about, there is no "UK market".

Upon further badgering from me, they said "Please note that all of our products are fully UK specification with English manuals and UK plugs. We source them directly from where they are manufactured for the UK market", which kinda worries me that the customer service people are nowhere near where the stock is.

Conversely, when I rang Handtec.co.uk about their 'opened box' Black N9 64GB, the guy was able to go out the back, get it, and tell me exactly where it was made (Finland).

However, I can get £30 cashback if order through purelygadgets via quidco, so if you say all is good with them, I might go with them.

@FishesWillLaugh,

I can answer those questions for you as I purchased my White N9 through purelygadgets also.

I asked the same question about product region before purchasing and they couldn't tell me either, but it did turn out to be Made in Finland(anyway, don't forget you always have the 14 days distance selling regulations to fall back on if it arrives Made in China and that isn't what you want).

It comes with Euro plug, as you would expect with UK not being an official release country for the N9. No adaptor was supplied unlike Handtec where I had bought and had to return my previous two N9's from(both had faults). Not a problem for me as I continue using my E7 plug. The accessories are all in there though(headset, USB charge cable and Euro plug) and the box was unopened with the Nokia seal unbroken. Speaking of which, strangely neither of the N9's I purchased from Handtec came with the Nokia seal, the sticker simply wasn't there(didn't think anything of it until I received this one with the seal in place), both were new phones.

By the way I did check Nokia's own warrenty checker for the UK to be sure, and yes the phone checked in as covered

I actually found purelygadgets very good, it wasn't an instant despatch but it was received within I think 4 days from order so not as bad as some of the reviews I had read.

[EDIT]Oh, and quidco tracked at £7.18 for me, don't forget that 2% is without VAT, unless you've managed to get a better rate somehow.

Good luck

The product code is 059M5R3 which apparently corresponds to 'North Europe'.

As Tetlee says, it has the EU charger, but I'm not using that, I'm using an older charger, although you can buy the AC-16X (UK version of the new white charger) if you look around.

(they don't include a European-to-UK adapter)

The other accessories included with the white N9 are the earphones, usb cable (which connects to charger), and the black leather pouch, but I don't use any of those sorry.

Again, as Tetlee said, It is unlikely that you'd get a UK-specific version of this particular device given that the N9 wasn't released for this country, and the white N9 is supposed to be even more limited. 'North Europe' is probably the closest available match.

Just bought one from mobi-city.co.uk, the guy there emailed me this morning to say they just received stock (black and white), so i ordered straight away and was showing as shipped not long after. Happy days!!

£379.99 for anyone intrested

When you get it, can you post what variant these white n9 are and are they Made in Finland?

Thanks

Could you tell me please which market the N9 you bought from CTINYC was made for (or just the product code found on the SIM tray)? Was there some warranty certificate or warranty form in the box?

Also, does someone know which variants/product codes are sold by any of the following US shops (white 64GB, black 16/64GB):
Welectronics
CTINYC
ATGSM
NegriElectronics
(or any other good US shop)

Thank you in advance!

Has anyone found a method to clean the White n9 in case it gets dirty or absorbs colour?

Just got it delivered product code 059M5R3, made in finland, comes with eu plug but they also supplied a uk plug usb thingy and an in car usb.

Gotta say excellent service from mobi-city.co.uk!!

Nice, was the box sealed? Could you post some photos up?

It was sealed, just updating to PR 1.2.... Done some photos but they're a bit poor!
