Cheapest n95 in Ireland.

    Well, there's a guy on this board who claims he can get them for €625, but with poor communication i'm reluctant to go with it.

    So the next cheapest is now pixmania

    €692 (was €704 yesterday) + €14 DHL delivery = €706 all in.

    Nobody can beat that. All the UK sites only ship to the UK even if they say they ship to Ireland. Cheapest anyway is mobilefun.co.uk which are £440 sterling (~€640).

    So for the extra €60, you get rapid delivery and some sort of comeback with a big company like pixmania. I'm tempted :)

    Surely a handier thing to do would be to get it delivered to a friend or relative in "the north"?

    3G stores have a sign in the window for them at 750 I think. I'd pay the extra 40 or so over pixmania to have a store to go back to as there seem to be a lot of teething problems with the early ones..

    Nokias rrp for the n95 is 550 Euro... if you're looking for the best deal just wait a month or so. If you just HAVE to get one now, then check some of the power sellers on ebay. Don't go for a Vodafone UK or o2 UK one though as you might have difficulty unlocking them. You can get from about 490 Euro upwards for sim free models.

    So if they are going for that price now then in a month the regular online shops probably will have come back down to sensible levels.

    no way will the rrp price come to 550 soon.Look at 3g its 750.
    Nokia alway say that but it wont happen yet

    Its on ebay now:

    http://cgi.ebay.ie/brand-neww-boxed-nokia-n95-all-network_W0QQitemZ290111370863QQihZ019QQcategoryZ3312QQtcZphotoQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    thats a Nokia one... nhot a voda, orange, o2 etc.

    Nokia releases the "Recommended" Retail Price for all phones. For the N95 its 550.
    http://www.trustedreviews.com/mobile-phones/news/2006/09/27/Nokia-Unveils-Rrrevoltionary-N95/p1

    That includes a profit for both Nokia and the reatailer... if the retailer wants to charge more that the RRP then fine. If however, a retailer suggests that the RRP is anything different then what Nokia has then remind them of the Advertising Standards Authority rules!

    Its only because people are willing to pay over the odds that reatilers can make their reality distortion field come true.

    Correct, but you forget VAT, delivery, and related charges.

    rrp is the recommended retail price so it includes vat. the only extra should be delivery and idiot tax

    Not in this case. This is the pre-tax RRP.

    How can you set a world wide RRP, when the VAT rate (and import tax for non EU) is different for each country???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,213 ✭✭✭culabula


    Just noticed that a firmware update has been posted on the Nokia site for the N95; nothing OTA yet, though, even though the device sports 'device manager' expressly for the purpose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 825 ✭✭✭dave oc


    Has anyone here ordered one from Komplett? Every time I check their stock it is always on back order, I have yet to see them 'in stock'. If I place an order will it be sent out as soon as the next delivery comes in?

    I realise their price is dearer than others but would like to get the sand colour if I could and they are the only place that specify between colours.

    BTW stay away from onedaymobile for the n95. I ordered from them last week, was told it would arrive on friday and it didnt. They lied to me and said that it was sent out from their supplier (it wasent) and have since cancel my order. Beware...

    just got an email from him there, €220 for phone that is unlocked, shipping and insurance with 2 year warranty. he will also ship as gift to avoid customs and taxes. Would love to try it but would crack up if it was a scam for €220

    In my opinion thats a scam, i have been interested in buy and selling phones for the past 6 years and never came across a deal like that before, How do they want payment. If that was real we would all be multi millionaires and i would Guarantee that
