Nokia 5800 has arrive in the City Of Golden Friendship, Cagayan De Oro City, Philippines. Been there last week and took time to scroll in big mobile shops to eves drop on whats going on around. I've been to the Limketkai Mall, the biggest mall in the city, and SM City Cagayan De Oro, the mall that failed to take off being far from the city proper, and found interesting price range of the device.
First stop, Limketkai mall were I visited 4 of the biggest mobile phone shops, the Graphics All in One which tagged the device the cheapest with 17,890 pesos. It was only 3 weeks ago that I bought this phone for my brother for 18,890 at Junrex SM City Cebu and there have already been significant drop of the price. I wish my brother would have waited a little longer, we would have save a thousand bucks. Minimum allowable charge via credit card, 10thousand and you will then need to pay the remaining amount by cash.
Just beside this shop is Nokia's very own flagship store that post a hefty Php19,143 price tag on the device, aside from the fact that your getting the genuine device from this shop, this is the only store to that accepts credit card installment of up to 6 months. The best option in my opinion because it will breakdown payments to a cheap and reachable status.
Next stop was the NexGen Mobile, and they labeled the phone for Php18,590 cash basis only. Quite expensive here knowing the fact that you can also purchase the device cheaper via cash or single straight or installment credit card payment in other nearby shops. Its likely that they wont attrack consumers in this manner.
Celwave, another major mobile phone supplier designate a Php17,898 device cost which is only 8 pesos shy from being the cheapest against Graphics, but what was better about this shop is that they accept a full credit card charge for the unit with a single stright payment option compared to the limit charge set by Graphics.
Going to SM City Cagayan De Oro shops, there were really no significant difference in the price, the Graphics store in SM cost 50 peso higher than the Limketkai price which I believe was due to the high rent cost of SM. This comes out similar to other mobile shops as well that has a branch in the mall.
Cheapest price of this phone on eBay.ph though is 16,900 pesos from a powerseller, and its now a matter of choice if you trust eBay.ph or not.
Nokia 5800 ExpressMusic continues to wreck sales all over the world and its undeniably the fastest selling phone from Nokia so far and as time passes, the price of this phone will further dropped giving away affordability and opportunity for the mass market to avail.
