Hi all,

I'll be visiting the Big Apple soon and was hoping to pickup a cell phone there during my visit. I'm specifically interested in the E65. Anyone know of a good (cheap) place to get it in NY?

Thanks!
 
Oh right. must check out Nokia store! hehe Almost forgot that there was one in NY.

But actually, I'm more interested in stores with eBay like prices (or cheaper!).
 
I know the times i've been up to NY and dug around stores the prices were pretty steep. I dont think your going to find prices much cheaper than the Nokia Store unfortunately. I'm sure some locals might know of some bargains but the numerous times I go I havent found any stellar deals.
 
Another member mentioned www.cellhut.com on this thread: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129789. I checked their site and they're located in the Big Apple!!
 
Greenteeth is right about the pricing. The only way to get good pricing through the third party stores in NYC is to sign up for a new contract - you'll get a large discount that way but you will have to get a local NYC phone number with that plan. If you're just going to buy an unlocked phone, the prices are not going to be any better than the Nokia store. For example, in Chinatown the going price for the new unlocked N73 is $430 - $450. You can save paying tax if you pay in cash but you will get an Asia Pacific (APAC) model most likely and you won't have any warranty. The price of N73 in the NY store is $429.99 plush tax but you get 1 year of US warranty that Nokia will actually honor. However, Nokia store is currently not selling the E65. I don't know if you can find it in Chinatown though, but again, the prices without signing up for contract are not going to be any better than the online retailers. You'll probably better off buying it from Importgsm as you'll at least get a year of warranty from them.
 
myworldphone.com is located in NYC as well. People have mixed feelings about them but I've purchased two phones from them with no problems at all. Not sure if they allow walk-ins though.
 
I just bought my e65 from Cellhut in NYC. Great service and cheap $449 + free shipping and no tax and they threw in a fre Nokia car charger. I think their store is in the 40's midtown.
 
Queens is only NYC on paper

mobilebee.com is on west 27th st. manhattan but they do NOT do walk-ins... they're excessively bitter about it when you ask

I highly recommend the nokia world store (north-east corner of 57th st. and 5th avenue, next to burberry) yeah it might be a bit more $$ but you'll have a NOKIA USA WARRANTY, along with corporate customer service
