Nokia N8 Unlocked-Unbranded now available in Canada

But they wont ship to Canada. If you go to ca.buy.com you wont find it.

BLT will ship to Canada but they wont have stock until Nov 19th. Then we have to pay brokerage fees - and I don't know if there's duty on it.

Plemix has it but the price is a ridiculous $666 - they actually dropped it by $30 because no one was buying.

Nokia Canada sucks because they will not release a product without carrier sponsorship. The head of Nokia is a Canadian so he needs to get his butt over here and fix the company.

I have gone ahead and ordered a black Nokia N8 from Newegg.CA

Total price with taxes and free shipping came to $576.45 Can.

Now I'm left wondering how long before I have it in my hands!:)

Today, Wednesday 3rd, Newegg.CA received my DOA N8 and I received the replacement N8 Newegg.CA sent me!

And this new Nokia N8 is _NOT_ DOA:clapping:

It is on the charger at the moment, no SIM card and I haven't installed the 32GB mcroSDHC card either. Just plugged it in and after an hour turned it on, and it came ON!

Busy this afternoon and this evening so will leave it to fully charge then turn it off 'till tomorrow but it does seem I have a working N8.

GREAT service from Newegg.CA !!!

did any of yours come with a memory card? I expected to get a token one in the box :) i guess with the 16GB built in they didn't include one?
 
I held the power down for a couple of seconds, for about 5 seconds, for about 8 seconds, for about 10 seconds, for about 15 seconds, etc, etc, etc! !! !

It's been plugged in now for a couple or more hours and still as dead as a doornail! Nothing, absolutely no sign of life.
 
it JUST got here. like 3 minutes ago. i haven't even open the box yet. it took, including ordering time, 28 hours. which really wows me. happy happy =D

UPDATE:i've open and unpacked. its simply, perfect. i think i might cry. it feels just perfect in my hand. im letting it warm up before turning it on...damn canada so damn cold all the time.

talk about minimal packaging.
 
Good to hear Yarrenbool!!!

Funny, I got an invoice today for $0 for that UPS return shipment label that newegg.ca sent me. I guess they just wanted to let me know, they were paying for it.
 
Yeah mine arrived freezing as well.... That said, it's made of metal, so, it will feel cooler than most... Fire that bad boy up!
 
I recieved mine today from Newegg.ca was shipped from Cali, dark grey. I really can't explain it, i am absolutely blown away with it, its everything i was hoping for outta a new OS, yet still retains so much of the old. Not to mention the build quaility, OMG its amazing. Never felt a more solid built phone.
 
No, no microSDHC in the box.

I purchased a Kingston 32GB Class 4 microSDHC from Newegg; unfortunately it did not arrive with the phone. Perhaps on Monday.
 
Anjelous, are you Anjel_Few from FM? :D

Anyway, I just received mine today too and I am thus far quite pleased. There are definitely a few quirks, though, that I'm still getting used to.

Seems like it has pop-up notification for received texts... For real? What was wrong with the way S60v3 did this? I don't want a popup every time, just make a sound and show me an non-intrusive icon. Maybe there's a setting I need to set in some menu I haven't visited.

It also still gets very sluggish if you're installing stuff and doing other things in the foreground, but not a big deal. I've definitely observed a number of crashes and some very odd behavior, but I was doing a great deal of stuff all at once so we'll see how it all shakes out with some time and use. I'm coming from an E71 so it's a pretty big adjustment and I could just be pushing stuff inadvertently -the screen is very sensitive.

One very curious thing is that when I plug it in to a USB port a new computer, it won't start charging until the device is installed. Once that's done, then it will charge. Wacky!

Liking it so far, but not pooping my pants about it or anything.
