Looks like this might be dead. When I add the coupon it's only saving $69.90 now. Is it still working for anyone else?


alert mods    

The coupons had been stacking with their discounts. Maybe they fixed that.

corduroy said:I don't know on the N97, but unless they change anything from all their other S60 phones (I have an N85) then:
you can use the wifi for e-mail and web browsing, even voip if you'd like.
You can turn off the cell options for GPS and have it only use its GPS unit (no data). It takes longer to get a signal but it works (you can purchase Garmin XT for it but you can also download Nokia Maps for it - it's free but they charge for extra stuff).
Thanks for the great info. I asked the same thing first in the E71 thread, but got no response there. So basically the WiFi and GPS can work without any SIM card inserted, right? What kind of data do the cell options for GPS provide? Traffic and stuff?

Sprint operates on the CDMA network. The unlocked phones that you can purchase new are all going to be for GSM networks. In the USA that means AT&T and T-Mobile, but the rest of the world is all GSM. Because GSM phones all use SIM cards to store data you can always purchase a new phone, swap out your SIM card, and you're good to go. CDMA networks are locked, and unless you do a good bit of social engineering, won't allow a CDMA phone onto their network that wasn't specifically made for their network, and was sold by them. Yes, a CDMA phone from Verizon will work on Sprint for voice only quite easily if you can convince a CSR to activate that phone on the Sprint network, but data and text messaging? Those aren't going to work easily, if at all, and will require you to do a LOT of hacking in order to get them to function. They may never work correctly. The only phones that you will see sold as new and unlocked will be GSM phones, as they will work on any GSM carrier's network as long as you have a working SIM card from them.

Kind of funny... How much is a no-contract 8GB iPhone these days? I rest my case.

Looks dead!

AAAAAAHHHHHH I MISSED OUT!!!!!!

saw this last night and debated, decided to order and now its dead!!!

I got a phone call from Nokia this morning wanting to verify my order information.
Confirmed the order will be shipped by end of June or first week of July....
looks like the order won't get canceled but hoping they don't just go ahead and charge me the full price.

Aarrgghh! I'm nervous. AMEX doesn't post transactions as fast as BoA, and I still don't see charges from dinner last night. On the comments of Engadget, one guy said that his BoA statement already has a post of the amount. On top of that, I haven't received a call from Nokia like es2burn. I'm still crossing my fingers.

For those of you who had the AMEX declined, this is the email you would've gotten. Hopefully you didn't wait till the email, but rather call AMEX customer service right away like I did and resubmit the order.

StHalcyon - I used my AMEX card, too... but I didn't get that email even the first time I ordered it, it got declined. What Nokia told me today was that the transaction you saw is probably the amount they hold and not really charges. I don't see transaction on my AMEX yet either. Did you not get an order confirmation in email from Nokia?


alert mods    

Yeah, I do have an order confirmation from Nokia. You think that's sufficient? I'm guessing the AMEX charge is just a pre-authorization, but it'd be nice to have a peace of mind to know that Nokia won't cancel...

Got in on this deal last night, but something weird happened. I used my Chase credit card and it got decline because can't verify some information. Switched to BofA credit card and transaction went through. However, I got calls from fraud department from both Chase and BofA to verify that I placed order with "Nokia Brightpoint".

I think you'll be fine. I would probably suggest you call them to check on the order if you want to be 100% certain
I guess the reason they called me up is simply because I dont have a matching billing / shipping information...

I think the confirmation email is good enough, I think you won't see the charge in your account until they actually ship your order.

That's what I thought, but someone on another forum (engadget) mentioned that he saw a charge come through on his BoA account. That's why I started looking for a charge too.

I do see an temp authorization in my BofA account.

I tried to Preoder the N97 today but I guess they stopped discounting the phone. They still offer the free bluetooth headset but the total is $699.99.

Does anyone know if they are going to start discounting pre-orders again?

Thanks

The deep, discount was a mistake. It was only suppose to be $69 off. I delayed and missed it. Nokia rarely give a "good" discount. Your always better waiting for and authorized deal to have a discount.
