Back to the 5800 XpressMusic update folks, the Zamboanga City, Philippines Edition.
I have some good news and very bad news. The good news, confirmed and sealed, 5800 XpressMusic went on sale in snitch mobile shops but then as of the moment, its out of stock and that's the very bad news.
I went to four main mobile shops in the city and all of them said that there selling the device already but runs out easily. The very first shop I visited was at the Gateway Shoppers Center, the unit cost and around Php20,340 for credit cards installment of up to 6 months, my best option, and it has a less of 1,900 Pesos if bought in cash, it means that the unit cost at about 18,440 only, quite cheap there than the Nokia Flagship price of 19,990 but a bit expensive than the eBay.ph price of 18,000, yup, a super seller on eBay.ph had just drop the price today. Quite happy here, this device costs at about 25thou when it first came out on eBay, and a big hooray for my brother, he wanted this phone badly and the least, its now within my payable bracket. And as mentioned earlier, they don't have a standby unit for the time being and I have to wait for 3 days if I'll buy one, pre-order stint, frown face.
My next pit stop, Expressions Mobile House and they tag 5800 XpressMusic at 18,900 frame, all cash, no credit card installment, a big bobo, and i have to wait for 3 days again because they run out of stock. The saleslady told me that they have 10 units that arrive last week and was sold fast, most of those who got the phone ordered a week ago and I have to cast reservations myself if I want to secure a piece of their stocks arriving within the week.
The craziest thou was the info I got from Busy Tone right beside Chowking, the good sales man told me that I have to pay half of the units price for them to cast a reservation for me, hmmm, pretty odd here because what if the unit wont arrive in due time, can they like, refund my payment right there and then? a big nope, I will have to wait for a week or so before i could get refunds, standard operating procedure for most business establishments.
The last authentic mobile store in line, Megaworld and there not selling the unit yet so obviously they don't know the price, the good news though, there stocks were coming and they emphasize that there going to sell it cheaper than the competition, and this was proven and tested. I brought a Sony Ericsson P1i in this store before and believe it or not, its cost at about 4thou lower than the other stores, shockingly true.
Anyways this will be it for now, no show of 5800 XpressMusic available at the moment, hopefully its already here by next week so I can get a unit for my brother, and yes so I can take a peak as well.
