Thanks straatkat, mmm.... out at night and sleeping during the day ;) Got the catalogue, but ROFL at this:

:p Well, at least they're giving the Lumia good exposure... Will probably be in shops early April.

I just wish we get some of the other branded Windows phones as well, like those from Samsung and HTC, because the current Nokia phones is just ridiculous expensive.
 
I enquire this morning about the Lumia 710. No on seemed to have heard about it yet nor of plans to launch it.

A upgrade to Lumia 800 on Topup 315 contract, R2800 pay in...a Galaxcy S2 is R2100...

Here is Nokia's standard reply on Twitter regarding the 710, they reply the same on the 900 queries:

We do not have a release date just yet, but watch the press and this space for news. Its worth the wait :)

Well I am no longer so sure about that. My other option was a Galaxy S plus for R475 pay in. That phone spec matches the Lumia 800 100%.

So you have to ask yourself, why would I pay this premium or wait for a phone that is just not coming...

There has been price cuts in India and now also Malaysia , so perhaps it will filter through to SA? New Vodacom price-list coming on 7 April, let's see ;0)

Still not sure if I am going to get it. Depends on the price / deal and if reasonable on my contract, Plus not 100% sold on the touch screen for a phone. The good old fashion buttons work great. Pity they don't make one with a sliding keyboard...

Not really hey. 800 is a much nicer phone than the SGS was.

I also saw this 710 advertised but no stock yet, they claim it will all be coming in beginning May. They also said that the Galaxy Ace 2 would be coming which is a pretty decent phone as well. If they can bring it in at the same price I'll get either of those, with preference to the 710 I think...need to read up though.

So Nokia announce the availability of the phone in SA today at R3999. No it is just waiting for Vodacom and Cell C to make the phone available.

Is it not sad the sate of slowness that SA companies update their websites and the general lack of functionality you get there?
