Expansys has lowered the black 16GB prices to $735 plus $27 shipping. All of the other colours are still around $800. I still haven't found anything cheaper in Canada. There's one place being resold through Amazon.ca called "omegacell", but they only have black 16 GB units for even more than Expansys.

I guess there's no options except (1) import from somewhere else or (2) pony up the big bucks...

Hey Qole I feel you I'm in Halifax and desperately been trying to get a 64gb for a reasonable price. I just caved today and ordered a 64gb Black from worldwidevoltage.com for $731 CAD shipping incl. It's not too bad since I was thinking of spending around $700 anyways. Hope this helps , Cheers and good luck.

The N9 is selling in NZ (where I am) if anybody wants one. NZ/US exchange rate is a bit high at the moment though.

I just got my new black 16 GB N9 from Amazon on the Nov 11th. The merchant I purchased it through was called transformersandgsmphones
The purchase was painless, and they delivered my new phone quickly. One weird thing about them was they required an adult (21yrs or older with ID) to sign for it. Their price was 680 + 4.95 shipping, but I didn't pay that much because I had a couple amazon gift cards to burn up

The N9 is a made in china version, unbranded, which was a relief. Everything has gone smoothly with the phone. I absolutely love it, and don't regret the purchase one bit. I've had all the maemo IT's, sans the N800, so this was kinda the final symphony for me. I felt I had to get the N9 to complete the set. Nokia hasn't disappointed on hardware or polish. I am very pleased with meego and it's maturity, it's like a nice blend of webOS and maemo, the only two OS's I really consider usable. I look forward to running it through the paces and learning everything I can from the device and the community.

Maj3stic, please let me know how your transaction goes, they seem to be reasonably priced $699 usd for a 64gb is right around the ballpark for me to commit. If you can update when you receive it would be appreciated with info like made in china/finland, branded or unbranded etc. Thanks ahead of time!

worldwidevoltage is currently out of stock for the 64gb said they will get stock in a week or two, so far they have the best price I've seen here in the states at $699 and they have an A+ rating with the BBB and they said it's unbranded. Tempted to wait till they're in stock again.

Everyone who has gotten a phone from mobilecityonline have they all been starhub branded. Definitely trying to avoid a branded phone.

Hey Zach ye i unfortunately found out today that my order was a backorder but the guy said they are getting a new shipment within 2-3days. Another guy said 2-3 weeks so rather than waiting i just changed it to the 16gb Magenta, even though its not much less just a mere $50 but I don't care at this point i just want the phone. Also I barely used 10gbs on my n900 so maybe 64gb is unnecessary for me. They said my order has been processed/ shipped today through express. Once i receive it I will notify you of where it's made and stuff. Cheers

Has anyone purchased through Amazon via the FGS Trading option, or have any input?? I've been looking for the best option as far as cost and customer service, and I know Amazon would help me if any QC issues arise with a phone purchased from them...I'm just wondering what phones they carry in stock (Chinese/Finnish, etc...I'd assume they're unbranded?) and if they're a better move than expansys here in the US. I'll be buying a 16gb model in black from them this week if everything checks out okay, since 659USD shipped with Amazon backing sounds like a good deal. If you have any advice you find necessary, or any recent updates, I'd appreciate it!

I'd also like to know. Bout to pull the trigger on this bad boy. Their return policy/warranty information isn't too clear either...
