Some options so far:

Non NZ sites: (hence higher postage costs and warranty issues)
Nokia USA $1102 ($700 US) - 850mhz HSDPA (best suited for Telecom)
Plemix $1341
SelectGSM $1344
Amazon $1102 ($700 US) - 850mhz HSDPA (best suied for Telecom)
Portagadgets $1367

NZ sites: (hence cheaper postage and warrantys etc covered by NZ law)
Zillion $1350
Phones Direct $1630
Trademe $1699

All except the Nokia USA shop offer 900mhz versions, best suited for Vodafone.
All in NZ dollars

They certainly have the best price don't they!

To be honest, I am not sure...send them a enquiry via email, or go through the checkout and find out.

If you are living in Auckland, try Mobile City - the mobile store in "Mid City" (still called that?). The usually have phones in-stock and decent prices.

Anyone living around the city care to find out whether they have any in-stock?:)

Quic Broadband

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Free setup code: R587125ERQ6VE. Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

hmm might grab me an N97 for the time being until an 850 version of the Touch Pro 2 comes out. Phones Direct is a reputable dealer but their current price is ridiculous.

- Telstra HTC Touch Pro2 - Energy ROM WM6.5.5 20 Oct/Cyanogen Mod Froyo 2.2 - R.I.P
- AT&T Galaxy S Captivate 16GB on XT (now with brother)
- Samsung Galaxy S2 on XT- Runs ICS 4.0.3 Resurrection Remix 9.2
- Business Hours - Work In The Electricity Industry, After Hours - DJ/Turntablist - Will Scratch Vinyl For Free'
- What's next??? S3?

I have been bud, I have been...although I would appreciate the extra help...surely between us all we must be able to find not only the best price, but preferebly a local supplier.

As for Nokia US...going through the checkout, it appears only US residents can purchase it, as no options are given for other countries, only US states.

It would be nice if Telecom made up for their disappointing E71 pricing and blew us away with a 999 pricepoint or something.

How about a geekzone members special Telecom ;-)

Tha would be nice...

While Vodafone appear to still have the better priced data packages (3GB + 3GB), I could be tempted to go Telecom if they made available a subsidised N97.

That said, I'm not going to wait months for either to finally provide it...if neither has it by this Thursday, I will buy it outright, proberly go for the 900mhz version for Vodafone, and signup for their 3GB + 3GB plan.

The Telecom subsidy isn't worth it, sign your soul away for years for $150 or so off, meh

I'm not so keen on potentially dodgy overseas sellers who may ship you a phone with an asian variant keyboard or something, Expansys etc are good but aren't likely to get the 850/2100 version . . .
