Yesterday dude. and the guy told me that the mobile will take another 4-5 days....

At this price point I am out of the race. I have already doubled my initial budget of 10K for this mobile but now it doesnt seem to be worth the wait:S

Nokia has proved it again...:no:
 
Re: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Official Price Announced !!

if 24-28k is true , then im getting mine from dubai next week.....like i posted earlier 1440dh for normal 1 yr warranty and 1515 dh for 2yrs and extras....

Re: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Official Price Announced !!

but is the warranty applicable in India.

What do one (read I :D) need to pay in case I want one

Also do check if the version is 3G enabled or not???

Reportedly the initial batch in US is 2G only.

Hanzy is talking about getting the phone from Dubai, where does the US come in here?
The 5800XM will launch in the 1st quarter of 2008 in US while it has already been launched in Dubai.
Actually the 3G service in the US works in a different band than the rest of the world(I think it is the 850Mhz band in USA) and Nokia phones dont sell so much in US. So Nokia takes some time to release phones which are compliant with the 3G service available there. So most of the time either the non-3G version or a phone which supports the 3G service available in the rest of the world is made available there. Either way the people there are unable to use 3G there.

I have a very specific question:

Does Symbian S60 support Skype or a similar VOIP and will it work through GRPS/EDGE network???
Click to expand...

Yes it works :ohyeah: . I have used skype on my N73 over an EDGE network.

Edit: Actually, I couldn't install the skype application. Instead I used "fring" and logged in to skype from that.
 
Re: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Official Price Announced !!

Saw an advertisement in the papers yesterday.. a mobile shop is offering live demo of the 5800 in chennai. Will check it out if i'm able to go there..
 
Re: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Official Price Announced !!

anyone used the phone yet? i wanna know how responsive the touchscreen is. thats the only thing important now. it has everything else i want! :P
 
Re: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Official Price Announced !!

lol, some posts really do crack me up a bit.

Why are you even bothering about the price rumours? There are 3-4 shops here in Mumbai who have the grey market piece and they are trying to sell it at 25k by telling people with bill it will come to 28k. And they are telling that just to make quick buck by selling these imported phones before official pieces roll out in market.

MRP of the phone has been confirmed by nokia india, so why are you guys still troubling your brains with that?

When the local phones are available( which is not the case yet ), you will see the MRP sticker on the box itself. If there is no such sticker, that means its not the official piece even if shop is selling it with bill.

if you check out anks 5800 pics, his box clearly shows that it has been imported from UAE.
 
Re: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Official Price Announced !!

Doesn't seem to have launched ??
 
Re: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Official Price Announced !!

Price- Around 24500.

Too much hype :no:

Why cant everyone just wait for official boxes to be out and then confirm pricing? When Nokia has officially announced a certain price in the media, what makes you think the retailer is correct when he quotes a higher price considering its not like he has a box with a higher printed price in his possession? :P
