Nokia E72 SA availablity?

If you feel like being ripped off blind, cacell can get you one for a cool R14.5K :eek: promising 3rd August availability.
But, like you, I'd like to know when "normal" availability starts
 
Any news yet with regards to a release date or should I be looking at a grey import?
 
I've not seen any formal date - however two other SA sites (antilogic & charged) as well as an article on mybroadband mention delivery expected late 3rd quarter, so should hopefully be soon. I wouldn't go "grey" personally as have been burnt before when it comes to repairs and/ or support. Rather wait another coupla months... it's not that long, really. Or get something else :D
 
Seems to be well overdue. A supplier I spoke to in August said they expected delivery any day...that was 4 weeks ago...
 
Phoned Nokia last week to get a date. Not getting any real answers. Will have to wait a little it seems. Looking forward to it though
 
The initial date I got from a MTN source was end October. Vodacom shops seem to have it as January 2010.
 
I saw Nashua Mobile has Nokia e52 now :) Cant wait for the rest of the people to catch up
 
January! Damn that's a bit far too long to wait. I'd hate to have to get an E71 two months before its successor is released. Sigh! why does nokia announce it so early then? It's been on the nokia website for a month already! Then again I suppose we fit into the general middle east africa area...
 
Expansys.so.za looks to have stock of E72s. Granted, would be grey, but they do offer a warantee.
 
I know that we often laaaaaag behind the rest of the world, but is Nokia the worst of em all?

HTC is generally very quick I think.

Anyone have any thoughts?

I have seen milk turn faster than the E72 release date for SA.
 
Worldwide availablilty seems rather slow. Still, I don't think Nokia considers SA a major market. We don't even have our own nokia website...
 
Still no news on E72 availability.

Nokia south Africa -> EPIC fail.

Well, if you liked the Nokia E71, the E72 is more of the same - faster CPU, faster 3G, optical touchpad pointing device, same Symbian S60 O/S, same build quality, same slim form factor. I've just upgraded from a Nokia N73, so for me, much is new. Setting up my Gmail account was dead simple, as was connecting to my home WLAN. Push mail and navigation seem to work just fine, as does PC sync. The mail client opens attachments. The keyboard auto-locks (yay!), the battery life is great.
As a business phone, it's a good tool. I'm impressed!
