Lumia 930

[Frikkenator]

So does anyone have a clue when this will be out on Vodacom? It's upgrade time and I'll probably go for the 930.

 

[DA-LION-619]

Expected date is around September

Yea I've gathered as much, but I'm looking for a more specific date. I'm guessing it'll be September 1st but who knows.

If it's anything like the 1020, expect it in early December.

Nokia South Africa is just giving me a herp derp we have not announced a date yet... check our social pages blah blah.
-_-

I've been due for upgrade Since May and contract expires this month. If it doesn't come out in September I'll implode.

Edit: ZOMG! Just had a look at Cellucity's latest deals catalog. Lumia 930 listed as Coming soon and available for Pre Order. Guess what I'm gonna do today

So Lumia 930 now finally up on the Nokia ZA site, listed as Coming Soon.
However, it's removed from the Vodacom site
Sent them a tweet. Hope the Mid August release(which is now) will still happen.

 

[Frikkenator]

Yea also saw it was removed from the site, I hope it gets released soon now.

It's so quiet though... even their site still says Coming Soon.
Vodacom has nothing on their FB or Twitter pages.
Just bad marketing :/

Wow, swak, I think when they say it hit stores, they mean it was launched.
I swear Nokia SA's Marketing is run by a potato.

Edit: Just spoke to a lady at Cellucity, shipment delayed till end of August. LOL that's so bad.

Nokia has never been very good with this distribution thing.
