i sent them an email asking to take a picture of a phone with their seller name by the side of it specially the 64 gb cyan and woopp they chabfe.the.availibility. i told them that since they are a new seller without any feedback i would like to see the picture before i make any pre-order (i was not going to even if he had the picture anyway). well that almost proves it being in stock a lie.

What the hell does that mean? That's not an expression I'm aware of.

HOWEVER i tried pre-ordering one and it no work!
if you check the details it actually says "Pre-order... coming soon"

so i guess this pre-order isnt up and running yet lol!

lame


either case, my friend that works for a mobile retailer said that they are expecting it in september (still unconfirmed exact date) and itll be on a nice cheap plan (well.. cheap enough)

Never heard that one before, in all this time. :P Considering we're talking about a UR release, I find it highly inappropriate to use such cryptic local color. What a berk!

Where? I've never heard of them and I've never seen one in my life--and I've lived YEARS on the west coast and on the east coast without ever seeing one. Or, are you saying they're mainly well-known outside the US? If so--does that make this a foreign import instead of a US distribution?

for the ones interested, this is the reply i got from hotgadgets.... and yeah i sure will show you the pics once i have them too

Hello,

Yes I will be able to provide this to you as soon as I receive delivery of more stock within the next 10 days. Could you please provide me with your email address so I can send the attached picture to you.

Regards,

--- Original message ---

Since your listing of Nokia N9 64GB (Black, Cyan & Magenta) shows to be in stock and as you know too that you are a new reseller here in amazon would you be able to provide a picture of the phone (64GB CYAN) with your selling name just so I am assured to make a pre-order right now?
Thanks,

I also love the technical details section:
Product Features and Technical Details

Product Features
MeeGo-Harmattan 1.3 OS
Will be delivered straight to your door on September 23rd 2011
heheh.. a store that ONLY sells this product and claims a 9/23 release date and labels the OS as v1.3?
even if they wrong, but to be honest Harmatan is more close to unreleased 1.3 than 1.2 Qt and webkit is never version just one examples
