The sale is supposedly live, but availability and pricing is all over the place. Amazon is still charging 0 for the phone (with a heavy shipping delay, at that), and B&H Photo has it for the sale price with a free 10,000mAh battery from mophie.

One of the more interesting new phones shown off at Mobile World Congress was the Nokia 9 PureView, a five-camera flagship intended to trade blows with the Pixel 3 and Galaxy S10. The entry price of $699 is a bit steep, considering it's using last year's Snapdragon 845 processor, but HMD Global is already planning the first sale.From March 3rd to March 10th, the Nokia 9 PureView is dropping to $599.99 everywhere its sold. That includes Best Buy, Amazon, and B&H Photo. The lower price makes the phone far more attractive, especially given it will receive Android updates for two years (and security updates for three). Though, you still don't get a headphone jack.We'll keep you posted when the sale begins. In the meantime, maybe hold off on that pre-order.

Best Buy is out of stock online, and it doesn't appear to be available in any physical stores — none within a 250 mile radius of my home have one. However, if you do manage to find a physical Best Buy store with the Nokia 9 PureView, it's only $549 if you activate it at purchase.
