Where can I buy E50?

i was just curious where did everyone buy their E50 from. Do you guys have any preference when it comes to where it was manufactured? Theres allot of talk about Finland being the best (im not sure if thats a legit observation or if Finland made phones are just more fashionable to own).

Im looking at puremobile.com (non in stock) $284 or importgsm.com (import e50's come from hong kong or germany) $310. Any comments on the prices or the sites would be welcomed.
 
I took the plunge and ordered the E50 from Phonesource-usa. Before ordering (over the phone) I called to verify that:

1. They have it in stock.
2. The phone has camera.
3. The phone does not have any foreign (chinese) characters on the keys.

I also paid for 2 days shipping and have been promised to have the phone by Friday. I will cancel (or return) immediately if I was mislead on any of the above.
 
Where was your E50 manufactured?
Do I need to specifically request that the E50 not have Asian characters on the keypad or that it have the camera when ordering from http://www.phonesource-usa.com ?
Thanks.
 
dude, 1Gb card is 30$ not 70!!!

I'm gonna check chinatown today.
As for online retailers I guess I don't have any options other than importgsm site right now.
 
I ordered from http://www.phonesource-usa.com. They charged my CC, didn't contact me for 2-3 days. I ended up calling them and they said ohh we are sorry, we don't have any in stock. I ended up waiting 3 days to get my refund from them.
 
Not only do the photos show something white/silver, the title description does, too. It's not so much of a concern to me, as long as it's in new condition and has an English-only keypad.

Mine should arrive from tigerdirect on Monday, I'll report back then.
 
here's a pretty boring video of the E50 in action:

too bad he didn't have active standby activated. but he was just trying to prove how fast it is without it enabled i guess.
 
Sadly, it didn't help. I'd love for this just to work so I could keep it and keep using it. The entire keypad seems to be raised up on the left side, and those are the ones that are difficult to press. It's like the PCB is somehow bent underneath the keys. I've pressed it quite a bit trying to get it to pop into place, but no dice.

I called up tigerdirect to get an RMA and the guy gave it to me, no problem, after I explained what my issue is. He said they have 11 more units in stock and that a replacement wouldn't be a problem.

I'd assume anyone else ordering from them would get the same as I did - black sides, manufactured in Finland, camera included.

edit: Oh hey, check out myworldphone. They had it for around $400 for the longest time, now it's dropped down to $257.
