Frankmagnet

Cool i will try that now and get back to ya

Frankmagnet

Got a message back from the seller and she said the lowest she could accept is 515e cos their margin is low, ah well, have to keep the eyes open for other cheap looking n85 deals

Cyrus

just wait a few weeks until they are readily available should be circa 400 then

and dont buy from e_cell if you want it any time soon !

no counter offer from the seller at all

he wants 500 euro (sent me an email)

and im not prepared to pay that with a chance of getting charged at customs

kmart6

Eh no matter how low it is,could only be €200 and you can still get caught by customs!

Seller on eBay has them for £410 delivered excluding SD card. Ships from HK, although they say they'll cover the vat.

Yeah, sorry pounds! There's another UK based one that includes the SD card at that price - still pricey for a phone ... no matter how good.

You can "reserve" the phone in Spain directly from nokia.es for 509 euro, which means some of those ebay prices are a bit naff. N79 is 399 euro. (Shops downtown Barcelona today were flogging N78s for 279 euro, which is reasonably decent value, though you can get the US version of the N78 in amazon.com for $299 == 222 euro!!)

I've been told that Monday is the official launch day for N85/N79 in Spain; they've been officially available in Italy (nokia.it) since last week - at 539 and 419 euro respectively.

The Spanish "Reserve an N85" offer has 3 month of Nokia Maps navigation worth 25 squid, a free N-Gage game (a tenner), and 100 euros worth of manky DRM-infected music from the Nokia Music Store. Better than a poke in the eye with a sh1tty stick though.

Almost certainly my next phone as soon as prices come down a bit... my K750's joystick is crufted up...

id be prepared to pay below 400 euro for the n85

paying the rip of prices on ebay is a bit much tbh

Anyone know what Nokia phones are like for languages? Thinking of getting a friend over in switzerland to pick me up one of these phones, as it is a lot cheaper for them to get it over there, so i'm just wondering would there be any difficulty getting the phone working over here with my sim card and in a language i can understand.

when you get the phone and start it up the first time it usually asks ya for what language you want
and once its unlocked it will work over here

how cheap by the way

i had a look on ebay Switzerland no nokia n85

That doesn't appear to include tax "Unser Preis: (exkl. MWSt) CHF734.99"

Best deal delivered from within Europe appears to be on eBay at around €533.

Edit: although the Nokia ES price does appear to include tax
