Nokia N900 goes on sale in US
Without carrier support
19 November 2009 3:06 GMT / By Stuart Miles
The Nokia N900 has gone on sale in the US on Wednesday for a $649 unsubsidised after the mobile phone manufacturer failed to find a carrier to offer the handset.
Not deterred by the lack of interest from the likes of Verizon or AT&T, Nokia has opted to go it alone:
"Consumers from every segment of the population are looking for more out of their mobile device - more power, more ability, more connectivity", said Alessandro Lamanna, vice president, Retail Sales, Nokia - hoping people would quickly jump at the opportunity to buy the new handset.
The Nokia N900, which is the first from the Finnish company to sport the new Maemo operating system, is available in a black finish and will retail for £649 through Nokia flagship stores in New York and Chicago, nokiausa.com and various independent retailers and e-tailers including Amazon.com.
