Nokia MD-50W PLAY 360 NFC BT Speaker on Amazon UK, £123.44 (+ N9 Next week in Malaysia?)
Si tipped in that the Nokia MD-50W Play 360 NFC enabled all around bluetooth speaker of awesomeness, is at Amazon UK, priced at £123.44 with free delivery. This is expected to be available in just two days time (7th).
Whilst this goes with plenty of bluetooth NFC devices, this was a starring partner of the Nokia N9. You can even have TWO play 360s and have an anywhere, wireless stereo sound going on (at 246.88GBP)
Slightly somewhat connected, meh tipped that a Malaysian blogger has been invited to another N9 event. It says ‘media launch’ but I think they’ve already done that. This event takes place on September 13th. Other expected dates for N9 is September 23rd.

Cheers for the tip Si and meh for the tip.

Is the speaker that expensive ??? mmmhhh still very tempted though.
Hmm, ‘media launch’ on september 13. That doesn’t really indicate public availability to me. But hey, let’s just wait and see.
That speaker is darn expensive as John above me also says.
Yeah I was wondering that, but Malaysia already had their media launch for N9 some weeks ago. One thing that I remember being rumoured is that they may get N9 early. Well early by Nokia standards.
Not really a point in doing a ‘media’ launch then, is there?
Sometimes Nokia, sometimes you just don’t make any sense whatsoever.
its a bt speaker so it does support non-nfc devices too right? With the conventional pairing?
It should, AFAIK NFC is only used to make the pairing proces a lot easier. The actual streaming of audio is still done over BT. So it should also be able to connect the regular way.
does the pairing work with the c7?
Yes!
Even the N9 page for Singapore is now also open with details of telco partners and retail stores.

I’m in Saudi Arabia on business until the last few days of this month the it’s back to the U.S. I really hope I can pick an N9 up from here before I go back. I’ve asked local Nokia shops and they still don’t have a release date
. It’s looking more and more likely that I’ll be leaving empty handed.
maybe you should do your bussines trip to malaysia or singapore more often
I wish! Those are two places I’d love to visit, and not just for an N9
, though I’m borderline obsessing over one at this point lol. The Saudis have been nothing but friendly to me, but I’d much rather a nice climate and greene pastures.
greener*
It’s so ridiculous Nokia makes loyal customers GO TO SAUDI ARABIA to buy their products.
We know FINNISH DESIGN IS AWESOME. Marimekko was then, Nokia is now.
We are here with our money waiting to give it to Nokia.
I hope they do something nice for us.
You’re absolutely right. I don’t know whether to be angry at Nokia, or thankful I’m some place where I might be able to buy an N9. I’ll be doubly pissed if it isn’t out before I leave >_<
That said, I've found several websites via a Google Shopping search that claim to be selling the N9, or soon selling them, that ship to the U.S. I wonder which ones can be trusted.

The J Headset was up on amazon.com (USA) with a release date in 5 to 7 weeks, but they yanked it for some reason.
In other N9 related news, I went to a Nokia store here in Dubai, UAE and he told me the price for the N9 16Gb will be 2200 AED and 64Gb 2500 AED… 425 Euros/$600/371 BP for 16Gb, and 483 Euros/$683/422 BP for the 64Gb. I don’t know if he was just giving a good estimate. The guy sounded sure… If thats true, thats great news.
Interesting. Still a bit pricey, but I’d probably pay it. Did he give you any clues with regards to a release date? Nokia in Saudi just keeps saying it’ll be “out soon, either this month or next month” and that the price for the device is “still being determined.”
He said hopefully they’ll be getting it before the end of this month!
Sweet. I heard the same from someone in Bahrain. I’m assuming all launch dates across the Gulf will be very close together. Let’s hope it’s true! Thanks.
683USD dollars for the 64GB is an awesome price.
Not “still a bit pricey” IMO…
That’s likley to be better than the price of an iP4 or iP5, anywhere.
Nothing as good as that in Australia, at least yet.
Previously was Nokia N9 preview in Malaysia;
http://theidealmobile.blogspot.com/2011/08/nokia-n9-preview-kuala-lumpur.html
The 13th Sept will be official launching of the Nokia N9 in Malaysia.
Cheers!
what is the price for malaysia set 16g 64g?
most probly RM1700 for the 16g, no idea on the 64g tho… 16g is good enough for me, since i nvr quite make full use 16g of memory on my C7
After I read this news here yesterday evening, I went straight to Amazon.co.uk and pre-ordered one of the blue speakers. I want this thing since its announcement!
Order placed. I hope it’s good! Next up… the Nokia 700 for some tap to pair magic. Can’t wait
We live in exciting times.
Thanks for the backlink
Just did transit in KL and the guy in the Nokia shop in the Suria plaza told me that it was due for release on Oct 1st, i was only there for the day so i didnt bother asking the the price.
* the n9 is what i was referring to not the speakers.
A friend of mine got his hands on a couple of prototypes of those speakers back in July. They worked surprisingly well, really nice to bring with you to the park or the beach!
