Re: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Official Price Announced !!
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic - Sold out in 30 Minutes
Recently I told you about the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic that started shipping in several Countries recently, well, I have just heard that at the Nokia Flag Ship Store in Moscow, Russia, they sold out of their stock in just 30 minutes on the morning of the launch. 120 handsets snapped up in a frenzy by very egar Russians keen to be the first to get their hands on the 5800 XpressMusic Handset.
This news came from a Russian blog, owned by eldarmurtazin, and writen by Victoria Eremina. If you are a Russian reader here at Nokiausers, you an head over to her blog here, and read the exciting posts, and comments on her Journal.
Mobile-Review.com have also covered this story, which can be found here, and have gained permission to translate, and publish the news. Here is a translation from Victoria's Journal..
"This week, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic sales kicked off in Russia with stunning success. On Wednesday, the Moscow Flagship Store sold out its entire inventory in a record 30 minutes. An additional 900 people added their names to the waiting list.
Buyers, some of whom had camped in line for days, crowded the Flagship Store to hit store shelves. At sales start on Wednesday November 26th there was a queue of over 150 people. Some anxious buyers even offered bribes to people in queue to get the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic first.
Eldar Murtazin, #1 Russian telco analyst and chief editor of Mobile Review told about sales start at Nokia Flagship Store in his blog
eldarmurtazin: Nokia 5800 ýðчðûð ÿрþôðòðтьÑÂѠò àþÑÂÑÂøø and that became one of the most discussed news in the Russian blogosphere on Wednesday.
Some quotes from Eldar's blog: “Sales assistants in the shop don’t remember such a situation. The demand exceeds the supply now so much that those (retailers) who bought the model in bulk have begun changing their attitude and are trying to order more and more. I can't recall a similar situation; it is an interesting turn of events. And the last funny thing - looks like in the first week of sales this product can sell in bigger volumes than iPhone at official launch. Though it is wrong to compare the products which differ in price… The way of Nokia 5800XpressMusic has begunâ€.
The Russian team plans to support sales of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic within Nokia Trends Lab festival on December 5th in Moscow. Nokia Trends Lab Moscow Experiment 2 will be headlined by dance-punk Scots Shitdisco, American singer Santogold, Canadian producer Tiga and British DJ Moussa Clarke. On Russia’s part the event will be supported by DJ Orange aka One Dollar, art-director at Denis Simachёv Bar and connoisseur of non-commercial dance music.
One of the bloggers said, looking at the queue in Moscow Flagship Store: "Do we have economic crisis or not? I did not understand."
This is great news for Nokia, and all this was without any major advertising, promotional efforts, or massive posters.
