Nokia N9 16gb
on voda
12 month plan at $29 a month plus one month free

      Thank you Vodafone I saw the bargain a couple of days ago and was disappointed when the sale only had 24mth contracts and wouldn't beat eBay :-) now it's cheap enough to justify toying with me ego for fun

    They also have the Desire HD and Nexus S. Which is better out of the 3?

    • Elijah on 22/03/2012 - 18:45

      The HTC is a better looking phone as in Aesthetics, compared to the Nexus S.
      Bringing the N9 in the middle is a bit unfair, as the MeeGo platform Heavily lacks Apps.
      The N9's Aesthetics are superb and so are the functions, which are very smooth and responsive, Nokia thought about everything for the N9 in terms of features and sits on a pretty stable OS.

      In the end its really upto you and what type of user you are…

      If at all you are desperate to get Android, then the N9 geeks are already working on ICS 4.x ports…

    • get-innocuous on 22/03/2012 - 19:16

      Don't get the Nexus S - it doesn't support 3G 850MHz.

      If you want a great phone with limited application support - go the N9. It's an awesome phone, but don't expect to be able to play Draw Something on it. If you want an Android phone and all that comes with it go the Desire HD or the Xperia Arc.

      Personally I would go the N9, followed by the Arc.

    • KBZ on 22/03/2012 - 21:59

      Desire HD's on board OS is absolutely crap!!! So slow and laggy I had to go back and refund it! Can't believe I bought it outright when it came out.

  • ChadHominem on 22/03/2012 - 18:22

      nrma is still there but you cant combine with the one month free
      ($29x12)-$29=$319
      $29x12x0.95=$330.6
      so one month free works out better

  • sorga on 22/03/2012 - 19:21

    Big plus for me. Great deal! Got the Desire Z from last sale otherwise I would defintiely buy one.

  • bargaino on 22/03/2012 - 19:23

    Great deal, and the $29 plan is almost useful. You just need to add a $4/month data pack, and make longer calls over VoIP. The VoIP integration on the N9 (skype and SIP) is excellent. though no video calls for some reason.

  • bizi on 22/03/2012 - 19:26

    Does anyone here know what this Meego OS is like, for typical smartphone use?
    I guess it's not bad value but then if the Desire HD is the same cost, you get a higer-res, larger screen phone with ICS coming via both xda developers and eventually official ones if VF can be arsed to release it.

    Comments on HTC Desire HD vs Nokia N9? Mrs has a Sensation and it's similar in many physical specs to the Desire HD.

    • Elijah on 22/03/2012 - 19:28

      Its really slick and responsive, I used a demo model some time back…, checkout some videos on YouTube !

    • bargaino on 22/03/2012 - 19:39

      The N9 has slightly more pixels, and generally better hardware specs. The Desire HD is an older model.
      But the OS is what you really should be choosing by. If you like Android, and use apps a lot, get the HTC.

    • ant-ant on 22/03/2012 - 23:41

      DHD is quite ordinary and dated. It has no LED, no front facing camera and only a 1200mAH battery (pure idiocy from HTC)

  • merocky5 on 22/03/2012 - 20:53

    Can one apply Buckscoop $100 off + vodafone 10% off for additional connection as well? If yes, then the price of the phone becomes $319 -$100 - $13.9 = $205.10. Then it's a pretty cheap deal for this phone…

    • naira on 22/03/2012 - 23:10

    Now that Sony's Xperia is expected to get ICS, (http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_gives_ics_update_roadm…) it seems like a great contender to Nokia's N9.

    Which one do you think would be a better choice? Personally I'm all for ICS, but theres something attractive about the N9 that I cant put a finger on… Comments?

      I looked at my buckscoop account and it says the $100 has been 'tracked' so good indication that it might go through,

      You can also get 10% off if you are an existing customer. So after 11 months of paying plus the $100 back it will possibly cost you $187.

      Pretty good deal if the cash back goes through.

      • fuzor on 23/03/2012 - 09:53

        • blackrider89 on 23/03/2012 - 11:40

          It's selling for round 450-500 bucks on Ebay though.

        • fuzor on 23/03/2012 - 11:50

          Yeah i agree with you blackrider. I was just commenting on jason's calculations

        • blackrider89 on 23/03/2012 - 12:37

          So I think we should sign for this one anw. Can have at least 400 bucks upront lol.

      • 11112007 on 23/03/2012 - 12:03

        $29 per month over 12 months = $348

        1 month free brings it down to = $319

        $100 cash back from BuckScoop brings it down to = $219

        11 months @ 10% off for existing customers (save $2.90 X 11) = $31.90

        = $187.10

        PS: My cashback has appeared on Buckscoop as registered, so it looks promising).

          You sure mate? Coz I still see that the monthly payment is 29, not 26.1?

        • 11112007 on 23/03/2012 - 19:13

          Forgot to mention, you need to have an existing account and you get 10% off any additional service on the same account.

        The $100 tracking can get cancelled anytime. I cant remember which plan i tried double dipping once and it didnt work, got cancelled after tracking for about 1 month. So i wouldnt count on it till you actually get credited.

        And do you have to pay unlock fee?

      Yes I also noted that Vodafone is selling a 1.4gHz product which all review and info sites state is only 1GHz! We should save a copy of the we page since we are being offered the 1.4GHz version. :)
