I am looking to purchase a Nokia E61 sometime very soon.

Right now I am in Toronto but am commuting to Los Angeles as I slowly make my move there. Ideally I would like to purchase one of these units in the U.S. as they are cheaper than Canada, but can't purchase it online with a Canadian CC address and a US shipping address.

Unfortunately I won't have a US credit card until Jan at the earliest.

Is there any place I can order one now and have it delivered to my address in Los Angeles for me to pick up in 2 weeks when I am there? Or does anyone know a place near WeHo (90069) where I can get an unlocked unit?

Online they are going for $365 + shipping or $400 total - I really don't want to spend more than that if I can help it.

Merci,
MapleLeaf

I have had no problem sending items to hotels.

simoncells will only accept US credit cards.

Thank you - found a site that will let me order with a Canadian credit card but ship to a US address. ^

Did u try ebay, I bought few phones off a there, and usually is cheaper compared to some of the online sites...

where did you end up buying from

Isn't the E62 out?

The E62 is out but does not have Wifi, I want to get a unit with that built in.

As to where I bought it, tried to buy it from 1 Shop Mobile but they are out of stock

Now I am looking for another place to purchase it from.

Sigh!

(If anyone else in the US can purchase this unit for me, I can paypal the $$ ahead of time - it just has to be delivered by Oct 4th in California)

I bought from those guys before, and are very good, but i dont knw what the price for the E61 is...

Ive been tracking the price of these at www.mobilebee.com, where I have gotten a phone from before and been very satisfied and they actually went up $30 yesterday. They went from $358 to $388. Man am I pissed.

Wow that place is a rip... I bought a brand new/unlocked Nokia 6030 for 45 bucks where as the 6030 is 109.99...

Not really. Depends on the item. They also ship for free. Some of the ebay places charge more than $30 for shipping. MapleLeak said above that the E61s are going for about $400 including shipping. They are $388 there so that isnt bad at all. Just that $358 was better.

You can PM me and I can give you info on where I purchased my E61 on ebay from an E61 powerseller (accepts paypal and can overnight or 2 day). He is based in California and sold me one for about $370 all-in and the unit comes from Europe.

Sometimes we fail to see the forest through the trees:
