Any news on the European release-date? (I can't wait!!!)

Hi

First time post, so be gentle

Just found the N810 on play.com "Due for release on 12/12/2007" ...

Oh and the price ...
£499.99 Free Delivery

Sadly, the emoticon icons on the right of this comment box aren't working on my computer. If they were your screen would be full of the wide-eyed one with his mouth open. That mirrors my own expression right now.

I want to say that this is probably a mistake but, you know what? I think it might not be.

By the way, USA readers -- £499 is a little over $1,000. Or 719 Euros.

I suspect if you shopped around you could buy a flight to New York, buy an N810 over there, and bring it back to the UK, all for less than £499.

This seems to be way too much. The German Nokia press-release mentioned 450€, even if the UK has higher taxes (I don't know) it is still too much!
Thus I would think the date is also wrong. (Hopefully!)

Google products search currently returns 1 result:

£234.99 (£199.99 ex. VAT) free delivery.

No date unfortunately, just called them too.
Pretty good price considering I paid £260 for my N800 only a few months ago.

Nokia will be showcasing the N800 at this weekend's What Hi-Fi show:

I'm sure I heard somewhere they may also use this event to announce the UK launch of the N810.

Looks like the N810 is indeed being released at this show.

Doors opened today and running for the rest of this weekend.
I think I may go tomorrow. What are the chances they'll let me trade in my N800?

Play seem to now be offering it at £289.99 (quoting that as a £210 saving), with a release of 28th November

Supertrader have increased their price!
£258.50 (£220.00 ex. VAT) - Still no release date.

Shame Nokia don't provide some sort of trade-in deal for existing N800 owners.

Today at DigiExpo (Helsinki) I got the chance to "feel" the N810.

+ feels great in hand, nicely designed.
+ keyboard feels bigger than it seems in pictures
+ GREAT screen
+ youtube's videos , in a watchable-way.


* I would like to have the fullscreen button on keyboard though.


In Finland you can pre-order from verkkokauppa.com ( 469€ ), I asked one guy from Nokia about the possible price for this and he said it's gonna be likely 550€ from Nokia's store 2x the N800's price right now.
