Some good news for Nokia N85 and Nokia N79 watchers along the Zamboanga Peninsula, Philippines, the two powerful device have finally landed on the shore of Asia's one and only Latin City, Zamboanga. I was there again 2 days ago for a business trip and visited MobileXpress shop, the biggest mobile phone shop in the city, and find the two phones on display. As seen in the pictures I took, N85 carry a price tag of 24,595 pesos while the N79 has a 20,995 mark. Still quite expensive to me but changes in the price well surely take effect in due time.
The two phones will surely be added to the Christmast list or wishlist of Zamboanguenos, no doubt as it have gained a lot of attention from on lookers. Well Nokia's portion of the store is always flooded with watchers and window shoppers compared to competitors areas but the shelve of N85 and N79 has more pickers than the rest. I myself wish I could own N85 by Christmass (hopefully Santa Clauss can read this post and decided to give me one) c", but that remains to be seen because I still have to find out if my budget can rich that much. 24,000 pesos is a hell lot of money to raise.
Anyways for some other news, I didn't saw the N96 in the shelves this time. I cited its availability on my previous blog post before and out of curiosity, I asked the sales personnel about it. She told me they have sold all their units already and currently out of stock. Isn't it a bad time to be out of stock during Christmass season? They say that there units are on the way anytime soon and the best thing they can do as of the moment was to add buyers to the waiting list, or cast a preorder payment hmm? a lame excuse. They should have ordered additional units before they ran out of stocks. I believe though that the huge turn out sales for N96 was unexpected for them knowing how hefty it was and that the country was battered by economic recession. Well, its a lesson learn, never under estimate the buying power of the public because price never matter among powerful products like N96.
Thats it for now folks, stay tuned for more mobile shop watch.
