64GB Nokia N9 selling for SGD800 in Singapore

Was able to visit Sim Lim last night to catch up on stuff and maybe able to spot some new gadgets. Nothing new in there except for the SE Xperia Arc S (which I already have waiting for me in Manila) and the Nokia N9 (which I now carry as a secondary phone).

The one that I almost picked up was the 64GB Nokia N9 which was selling for only $SG800 or roughly Php27,400USD 467INR 39,582EUR 445CNY 3,400.

It’s actually a promising price for a 64GB variant and I wonder how much the 16GB was selling for (didn’t see any 16GB variant in there).

Of course, once the Nokia N9 hits the stores in Manila, it will be a bit higher than that but if it’s under Php30k for the 64GB variant, then it’s got a fairly good chance to sell.

Malamang ang Phil. retail price of N9 is higher that 27k.

If it’s 30k, I’ll prolly buy the sg2. I’m not sure with the support of nokia kasi on n9.

Hmmm, it would be interesting to know how the N9 will fare here in pinas. My guess is that people are more keen in getting an Android over Meego. :)

Still too expensive for a phone that is the first and last of a breed (MeeGo devices). If they had priced it more competitively, say around the N8 price (P24k? or even less at launch), it’d be at least a modestly good sell. At that price (P30k+), it’s laughably expensive.

why not buy a phone as it is? Ok naman mga built-in apps. May mga paparating pa, with the help of Qt.

And why b!tch about support? 2 year/6year man yun, you’d be getting a new phone by that time anyway.

and stop mentioning Meego. Kahit sa swipe.nokia.com di na mention yan. It’s actually Maemo6/harmattan.

This is N9 article. Samsung has no business here.

Android this, android that… netbook hardware operating on mobile phone software and what do you get? a unstable and overheating piece of garbage used by people who can’t get girlfriends and are looking to justify their existence through the cheap gadgets they own.

Easy lang, peterjack. No need to flame. And no, us Android fans are not all losers, as you’ve generalized.

I’m a self-confessed Android fan, but this N9 intrigues me. I’ve seen it, and it’s easily the most gorgeous phone I’ve seen in terms of form. I’m just concerned about the OS. I’d pay $800 SGD for it if I didn’t know that the OS is still “hilaw”. There’s plenty of room for improvement, unlike more mature platforms like iOS and Android. For instance, Google accounts integration works for email, but does not sync your calender. Sigh, wish Nokia didn’t kill MeeGo.

Crossing my fingers that the N9 becomes available at lower prices!
