Why carry on torturing yourself over this phone. Just take something else man. Life's too short

GSM Arena are quoting $900 for it 0_o ...

You want the best, then expect to pay for it... otherwise just get an iPhone, Omnia et al

The Omnia is an A W E S O M E phone. Only crap thing is that it doesn't have a keypad, so no driving and typing without looking at the phone.

I want a nice phone for a reasonable price, this phone isn't the best so I don't expect to pay 510 Euro's for it. It's damn nice though.

It was exactly what I needed for a price I could afford though
From what I've heard though the N85 is like the same thing without the touch screen.

It won't cost that much when its here. Its much cheaper than that in India and Taiwan. It only costs more online coz they know people will pay if they can't get it locally.

you are absolutely right, this phone has just been released in taiwan for 15000 tw dollars which is abt R4000 in sa

The reason the 5800 is going for so much these days is that people are willing to spend that much. Hang on until early next year and the marker will be flooded with them and they should then go for the R3k as Nokia suggested.

The N97 just got announced - that is the competitor to the iPhone/Omnia/Diamond ... the 5800 price at the moment is, well, because the phone has JUST been released to selected retailers. When MTN/VC get the phone, it should be upper mid-ranged priced. The $900 will be reserved for the N97!

I hope so ... any idea what this will be available in SA? I would like to get one each for my boys ...

Probably between June and November 2009.

It's a awesome phone. I'm first trying out the Xperia until March then I'll get something else if the Xperia is not my cup of tea. Then I'll wait for the N97 for the end of December 2009 upgrade.
