Nokia E65 in RED

[Tony_GSI]

Does anyone know where I can get a Nokia E65 in RED, on the Vodacom network?

I've phoned Nokia SA, who confirms the RED E65 is available in SA. Unfortunately they cannot tell me where to get one.

I've also tried the Vodacom helpline 111, and 1959, Vodacom website (customer service), as well as most of the Vodacom / Cellucity / Game /
Makro / 4U shops in the Cape Town / Somerset-West area. Most shops don't have any stock, and the few that have 1 or 2 only have the Mocha (brown) version. Since I have to pay-in for this phone upgrade, I want to have a say in the colour of the handset.

Vodacom's customer service response is that the phones are shipped in batches, and they cannot control which shop gets a particular colour. The Vodacom shops say their phones get delivered in batches, and they are not able to order individual requirements (like colour). Hard to believe, in this day of striving to meet individual customer requirements.

Upgrading the covers is possible, but pricey at US$50 plus shipping, and voiding the handset warranty.

I'm expecting mine this week, and I've specifically told them NO RED PHONE!
I want the mocca, or black, version.
Maybe we can swap! . . .

Same story from MTN, no control over colour.
Lot of bollocks!

P.S. . . . Any ideas on how to carry the E65?
It's got no neck loop, and I've seen no skin cover options.

hi Hilton
Thanks for getting back to me, I'll PM my details to you. I haven't looked at any pouches yet.

Black is available, although not sure if it's available in SA.
