Nokia 5800 XpressMusic starts shipping, piggy banks beware

27 Nov, 2008
It's here folks - the first S60 fully touch-operated device has finally hit the shelves. Nokia kept up to their promise and released the handset before the end of November. Unluckily the price of the Nokia 5800...

    the phone officially launched in Russia, people went crazy, was sold out in 30mins, there was a line of over 150 people man! in the Russia Flagship store they camped and stuff!

    check it http://www.symbian-freak.com/news/008/11/sold_out_stunning_success_of_nokia_5800_in_moscow.htm

    and they say the demand is so high retails who ordered bulks are also ordering more! its said this could be bigger than both the iphone's launcheds although you can't campare the two cause the 5800 XM is much cheaper than Iphone, but still it gives the impression

    BTW this artile about the price of 5800XM being 700 euro is total BS, i'm still a fan GSMarena but people have already bought the phone so why don you guys actually check out more markets beforing takin the first chance you get to bash nokia.

    Later homies!

        Beware guys, the sellers are really ripping off some guys. Nokias very own official price is not this much. Sellers are taking almost the double of the real price.

                    The price of this phone in Finland is 370 euros at the moment. It will come down quickly. It other countries it will be a lot cheaper.

                                      900$ or 600$ whatever, it's overpriced anyway. i'd really choose iPhone for that price

                                        Rami, 29 Nov 2008Guys 900 $ is not true at all. It will be 500$ or 550$ maximumyeah your right i dont get why people only see the 900 dollars remark of gsmarena they dont get that it is not the official price...i think they dont understand or read the rest of the statement...i think the price will be 500 dollars not more than 600
