Australian N-Gage

[nk_au]

Ok, since the time I had the N-Gage stolen ... I never had the thought of purchasing another one.

Until now.

To all fellow Aussies, how much is an N-Gage worth these days?
Is it cheaper to buy off Ebay AU or Optus/Telstra shop outright?

Or do you guys think I should wait for the release of the N-Gage QD, then buy the original N-Gage?

I'm definitely not buying the QD ...

Never ever buy your phone from Optus/Telstra shop they over charge by about 40%. Order it online from Singapore or Hong Kong or if you can find a place in Australia

maybe u can jst buy 2nd hand phones dude,if u wnt a cheaper one. u said i owned an n gage b4 right so u can check if its still in good shape. right?

[gophermaster]

For around $400 in some places, but I've seen them sold for just a bit over $300.

[PsychiatricHelp]

Electronic Beautique or EB has it for $327 with 3 games

[nk_au]

Ok. I think I will consider buying a 2nd hand one. But I prefer a new one, cause then I know what has happenned to the phone (and I can know the default lock code!)


Think I saw an N-Gage sold at AUD$270 with 4 games. Pity I was broke then

Have to save up first though ... :D

[gophermaster]

I wouldn't buy a second hand one. You need the warranty, at least I do anyway, 2 of my N-Gages have been broken so far.

[nk_au]

The 2nd hand N-Gages for sale on Ebay AU have warranty, just not 12 months. One of them I saw still has 10 mths left ...

Gotta save money quickly, but hard for a teen like me :sad:

[gophermaster]

Oh I see... just make sure that it has warranty. :smile:

[aussie]

Telstra aren't that expensive.. i work there. lol, well the N-Gage retails for about 348 AUD$, which i think is pretty ok. It's not a bargain, but it's not a rip off either..
Cheers

[gophermaster]

Yeah, that's alright, considering that I paid $500 for my N-Gage...

You should be able to get a brand new N-Gage off eBay.com.au for less than $250.00 (inclduing postage costs)!

[nk_au]

I didn't see those. All the N-Gage auctions are ending at AUD$255 to AUD$265 on www.ebay.com.au

My parents say I should buy one at AUD$180. As if I can get one at that price? Screw that ... I want an N-Gage badly.

Damn ... that Sonic Cover looks awesome. It better not be glossy, but plastic instead. I hate it when I sweat during an intense game and the back cover starts to get slippery ...

In the Nokia store in Rotterdam (the Netherlands) there selling the "old" n-gage for 149 euro including two games free of choise

[nk_au]

I can't buy any N-Gage phones internationally, only within Australia because of payments. I can only make Direct Deposits, which works only within Australia ... or a person with an Australian Bank Account.

Guess Ebay AU is the only way to go ...

N-Gage auctions ending at AUD$255. Is that alright?

[tzeonn]

hmmm... not unless someone in netherlands buys for u, then ships to u... :-P

[MacAnkka]

Finnish shop called "verkkokauppa.com" is selling N-gages for a campaign price of 108€! Pretty cheap if you ask me...

[nk_au]

You guys aren't buying the N-Gage QD right? Cause I'm not, and never will ...

[nk_au]

Got my N-Gage now, for AUD$250 / That's about USD$187.50 / And about 145 Euros

[gophermaster]

That was quite a good buy, half the price of what I paid for mine!

[nk_au]

Ok ... can I ask what the latest firmware version is?

I have v3.30, someone else has 4.2 or something ...

Surely there are a FEW improvements in a newer firmware ...
