Nokia 8

[backstreetboy]

the two dull and boring colours, think a lot of people would have rather went for the shiny models especially the copper to stand out from the crowd

You'll put it in a cover anyway...

 

[voldoverse]

youll be surprized how many people especially the ladies take it out of the cover for nights they know theyll be seen, also you can always have a transparent case

 

[Pho3nix]

Anyone got theirs yet?

No one can give me the silver so waiting for the moment

Got the blue one today, 3 hours later a silver one is found. FURK ME

Just finished setting it up. Will post a review eventually after some time with it.

 

[Nuro]

It's a bit of a challenge finding a screen protector and cover at the moment. Did anyone find anything local?

I can't believe that my 2 pre-orders have produced ZERO.

Great phone but need something with Dual Sim.

Was called and emailed various times regarding the pre-order. Cape Town based?

Yes.

I received a email from Cellucity and a phone call from Vodacom. Since then NOTHING.

If I don't hear anything, I will just wait for my current phone to die totally.

 

[Pho3nix]

Yes.

Might be Cape Town slowness. Silver one now available aswell, maybe you'll have better luck via the online portal at Vodacom?
JHB stock came back in abundance

So a quick mini review.

Great build quality.
Single speaker is a problem.
Battery Life is great (see post in Screen On Time thread)
Screen is pretty, not S8+ pretty but pretty.
Been pulling the Android updates pretty quickly and it;s on the latest patch version.
Phone is QUICK. No lag albeit Facebook app was crashing when not in use.

For the price, it's a great phone. Just need something with dual sim sadly and this won't cut it for me.
Might look at the cheaper variants

Will probably just import a OnePlus 5 or wait for Telkom to bring in the Nokia 8 as they usually allow Dual Sim.

Takealot have it for 11K. Unless you're just having some buyer's remorse at those prices.
