NOKIA N9 Pricing Thread
 
The pricing of the N9 in Malaysia according to sources at:
http://mynokiablog.com/2011/09/14/no...p-in-malaysia/
will be 1799 RM for the 16GB unit, and 2088 more sophisticated 64GB unit, which is equal to 584/678 USD currently.

I say that's about the price I paid for my first N900, but comparing that to an SGSII for instance, pay some more 20 bucks and you get a 64GB, dual-core... device.

A lot of dates and a lot of prices have been flying round the web since July. This is the usual FUD-cyclone caused by Nokia being unable/unwilling to give concrete information... and a price without a retail availability date is like a plane ticket without a plane.

Therefore: my enthusiasm for any N9 price 'information' remains zero until I can hand over cash and receive an N9 in my hand in the same moment.

So when can we buy it?

16/64GB : 599/699€ announced in Finland (vs 426/495€ in Malaysia)
Some webstores are offering 569/639€ pre-order with Sep 25 delivery. Well let's wait and see, this kind of pricing isn't new with Nokia. Otherwise I think I might know where I'm going to spend this Christmas vacation.

Prolly a good idea to have a dedicated thread like this.
The main one is populated with countless other discussion points.

64GB? SGSII doesn't have 64GB. It has 16GB + the potential for 32GB+ more.

I read some Malaysian dudes saying the best SGSII street prices are slightly more than then N9 64GB's RRP.
As it's a RRP, the street price is bound to be way less... eventually.

Of course RRP in other countries is nowhere near as good as Malaysia's
Nokia being consistent in their inconsistency again. :rolleyes:

Its not inconsistency... its economics. Most of the manufacturers use this policy pricing are based on the serving areas. For eg. Dr Martin in UK costs you 129 pounds and same in US costs you $109 , its all based on how much they can get out of it..

It's obvious it's not competitively priced in most of the markets where RRP is known, at least now.
To have the slightest chance of making a dent in the markets it's targeted for...
The RRP needs to start at (or just above) the SGSII's best street price, & gradually drop from there.

Telco plans need to be similarly competitive, from what I've seen so far in Australia, it's not too bad.
But it definitely needs to improve a bit....

If they're not more aggressive in both areas (particularly retail here), then they're setting themselves up for failure.
If they can't afford to be more aggressive because they'll be selling at a loss, well than I hate to say it.
But unfortunately there'll be zero commercial succes for what was to be their 1st mass-market, consumer-focussed top-end for yrs.

Thanks @jalyst for correcting. (I actually meant a stock SGSII with an aftermarket unbranded sdcard, but, nevermind)
I was really attracted to the N9, but as days go by, my interest in it flies away, highly priced to be honest, and, a dead-end.
$677 64GB @http://mobiles-prices.com/Nokia-N9
$749? 64GB @http://techpp.com/2011/06/21/nokia-n9-specs-features-price-availability-more/
