N800 for £149.99@Play.com
 
I just noticed that you can preorder the N800 from Play.com for £149.99, I've been waiting for a significant price drop for some time; in fact ever since I got my 770! So finally decided to put my money where my mouth was and order, it's "released" on the 31st so hopefully it'll arrive on Thursday :D

You and me both. :D

Except I never had a 770.

Can't wait.

also ordered

thanks MST - been thinking about getting one for a few months.

Anyone looked/found anywhere good in the UK for 8gb or 16gb SD cards for it?

I tend to always use 7dayshop.com

Kingston 8GB Class 6 £43.95 from expansys.
Not sure if it's the best but I did have a £10 voucher from buying my Stowaway BT keyboard. :)

As you can see I'm getting all the accessories ready :D

Oh and I have also now signed up with T-mobile on web and walk plus, for when there is no wifi.

I bought an 8GB sdhc from 7dayshop and as usual the correct product arrived without hassle; because of personal experience I wouldn't buy from expansys.

Got my 8GB card off eBay, but I didn't notice that the price was without VAT (grrr!), still not too expensive. :)

Robchoc 2007-10-29 12:57

Re: N800 for £149.99@Play.com
 
OMG on 7dayshop they are £56.99!

A good find, especially with £10 off, looks like you grabbed the last one, as showing out of stock now.

Would be good to get the card ready for the weekend.

Wonder if I need a car kit too.....

Oh... NooooooO!!! That's like... 20 days... :( :( :( If I find it in-stock to close that price, I'll switch supplier.

I'm glad to see that some of you found my post helpful, props should also go to rs-px who noticed the price cut over 10 days ago, had I found his post when I searched I wouldn't have started another thread; it just so happened that I visited the Play.com homepage and there it was staring back at me.

It's a bummer that the release date has been put back to 19/11, but I see 3 distinct advantages:
  1. I'll have time to save some extra cash to fund the purchase;
  2. It gives the likes of Expansys.com the chance to undercut Play.com;
  3. It gives Dixons Tax Free at Heathrow Airport a chance to reduce the price of their units even more, though I did notice that the display model at Terminal 3 was missing when I last popped in; next time I'm over there for work I shall investigate further ;)

I hate the waiting game. :mad:

I wonder if it would be faster to get it from the States?

TheJoker 2007-10-30 09:11

Re: N800 for £149.99@Play.com
 
Don't know if this is relevant, but on the Nokia site the N800 is £199 inc. VAT + £3.99 delivery.

Lower it a bit more and I'll get it...

I have to wonder whether there's something fishy going on at Play. Why do they have a "release date" and "preorder" labels for an existing model?

Stuff that they're just generally temporarily out of stock is so marked, so what they are up to with this new price for the n800?

TheJoker 2007-10-30 13:01

Re: N800 for £149.99@Play.com
 
My guess is that the new N800, highly likely with OS2008 will have a new SKU (stock keeping unit) number, and therefore they've issued a new item, and it's also likely that these new N800s will surface when they're saying they are... Most likely on the order of Nokia.

cdmackay 2007-10-30 16:49

Re: N800 for £149.99@Play.com
 
ah, a *new* n800, I didn't think of that, thanks.

The waiting is killing me.

Re: N800 for £149.99@Play.com
 
anyone found a supplier under £200?

tempted to cancel and order an 810 from the USA.

Robchoc 2007-11-13 17:34

Re: N800 for £149.99@Play.com
 
How much is the 810 from USA in UK money + tax, customs fee etc?

mardibloke 2007-11-13 17:41

Re: N800 for £149.99@Play.com
 
For the Nokia N810:

$440 on Amazon for example

and find somewhere that ships via USPS so cheap shipping ( $30?? ) and maybe miss out on other charges

~£225 best case, and budget for worst case being ~£300 for more expensive shipping and charges ??

Re: N800 for £149.99@Play.com
 
So you're best off going to nokia's website and buying it for £199
