It seems Nokia has dropped the price of its Nokia 5800.
The phone is now available for Rs.16.5k on wavetelmobiles.
It is also available for Rs.18k on TheMobileStore even after the VAT hike in Maharashtra.

12k would be the ideal price for this phone and that will boost sales like anything :)

16.2k is too good. this means Nokia 5530XM would be a LOT cheaper.

What happened ?
even n79 price is dropped to 14.5k..
ZOMG! That's bigger news than the 5800 price drop. The BEST and LAST phone in the N70 smartphone series which beats the crap out of 5800XM and N95 costs just Rs. 14,500 ? :shock:
Let 5530 come in market, 5800 will further go down
Which brings us to the question as to what would the 5530XM cost, considering the N79 price drop too. Surely it HAS to be under 13.5K or nobody will buy it and will prefer 5800XM. Same goes for 5330XM which needs to be under 11K to avoid competition from the obviously superior N79.

if you are thinking of buying motorokr E6, you have to sacrifice texting speed and 3rd party apps addiction (if you have).

I brought my Nokia N79 in Decembar 2008 for Rs 19k, & now it is for Rs 14.5k means approx 22% reduction in 7 months, which is good

I would always buy Samsung STAR rather than buying 5800. Just my personal opinion. Ofcourse features of both vary. I know that.

Samsung star cant compete with 5800. Its low end vs midrange. Both are very good value for money product if you value its features.
