Hot Deal: US spec Nokia N95 for $599.99 on TigerDirect - Cheap Nokia N95-3!
Posted by Will on Friday, November 2nd, 2007 at 2:40 pm under Nokia, Devices
If you've been drooling over the Nokia N95 but haven't been able to muster the $700 entry price for the North American N95 with US-friendly 3G frequencies, here's some good news. TigerDirect.com has the Nokia N95-3 (the N95-3 is the US version, while the N95-1 denotes the European version), for the low, low price of $599.99. We've been scouring the nets for a cheap US-spec Nokia N95, and Craigslist and eBay
both lose out to TigerDirect.
Stefan already covered what the differences between the Nokia N95-1 and N95-3, but here's a quick rundown. The Nokia N95-3 trades a camera lens cover for a larger, much needed battery, the Plum battery cover has gone Black, RAM has been doubled, and the WCDMA radio now works on the US-friendly 850 and 1900Mhz frequencies.
For all of you that bought the North American N95-3 at the initial $700 price, we're sorry to bring you this news. The N95-3 barely hit Yankee shores and there's already a $200 $100 price drop? If it makes you feel any better, Apple screwed us for $200 for our iPhones just three months after it launched.
Thanks to Johnny Li for sending this in! (a little late, but better than never)

You do realize that $599 is only $100 less than the official $699 price? Or did you think $700-$600 was somehow equal to $200?

Datavision has it for $609, so they are also pretty close. Is TigerDirect reliable? Datavision is listed on Nokia's N-series site, so I guess they can be trusted to not have taken out the charger or something stupid like that.
HAve not checked shipping costs on either.

Nice to see the Canadian TigerDirect site has the same phone listed for $731.99 even though the Canadian dollar is worth more ($1.06? Hello?) than the American dollar. What's with that?

Hey Johnny (Reptile)! Thanks for the info brotha. I though I included the credit, but it must have slipped my mind (I needed some sugar
)
Interesting that the stronger Looney doesn't equate to lower prices on TD Canada.

J&R Music World advertised the N95 for $579 in this morning's NY Times. The couple of importers I saw also listed roughly this price.
