Just came back from N8 hunting. It's Rm1580 here Arista set. Bintulu. Ready stock. Had to really fight the urge to get one just now. Hehe.

In theory this is true.
But the only way we can find out whether this is true or not is by scratching the body.Any volunteers?

Is it still that cheap? I thought the price increased due to lack of stock?

"The layer of 'aluminum rust' is still part of the original aluminum and will not transfer to food or easily flake off under stress. This makes it especially popular for food-service applications and industrial applications where durability is crucial."

The oxidized layer and color-dye is still only at near the top surface and for the N8, not very deep... as I've earlier said, I have tried with a pen-knife.. now i have a small exposed aluminum color scratch on my dark grey set.

I tried with a KNIFE, not hand or fingernail .. so I can't confirm how well the color dye and oxidized layer will withstand normal use... maybe very good, but be careful of knives and sharp metals

Guys, h/p supplies macam macam ada. The retailer confirmed he get for me already. Now the problem, if we go out buy N8 after this week, the retailers will jack up the price to 1.8k, 1.9k. Because, now suppliers purposely don wan supply ori phone already cuz next year h/p no more tax (they keeping the phone, create stock deficiency, then jack up price). The supplier want to push the sales of AP until stock finish andthey wont sell ori, unless u pay premium price. Motherf**ker.

Those who want to buy, better buy from Nokia store (but there is a possibility they will jack up the price). So, even if you want to avoid first batch stock and wait a few months till next year, you are likely to get first batch stock also. I pretend go ask other shops they give high price, because lack stock. The retailer i order from finally told me the reason.

So , its better to get it this week? I'm intending to get mine this Friday tho.

Get it as soon as possible. You delay more, the date when phone no tax is closer, they sell higher price. They want to clear AP stock. From next year AP and Ori same price ady.

anyone can respond where can i get any accessory such as Screen Protector & chic case for n8 at KL area? -dont want buy it using post.. prefer shop or COD- huhu..

The place that I scratched with knife is now exposed of course, can see shining aluminum color.

Actually I did not do it on purpose. I was trying to remove the small round sticker on the side (on top of the torx screw).. there were still some small bits of sticker on the screw head, so I tried to remove it with a knife, but I accidentally scratched a bit of the body side

So you mean the price of Ori and AP same price as in ? Original price range is near AP price range , or the other way around?

thanks for sharing

Anodize mean it using the aluminium as a anod(+) to attract the cathod(-) colour to stick to the anod(+)... Is it a very thin layer of color.... All chrome colour u see r mostly using this process to have the colour.... So the thin layer remove, the colour still remove...

That is not a scratch

Usually they will oxidise a layer of material thats more resistant to protect the actual material itself. But since aluminium itself is a pretty weak composition, what you are doing is not scratching it but ultimately removing a chunk of the aluminium itself. Its not bullet proof. Duh... why are they so stupid and go do something like that? Cant differentiate cut and scratch?

yup stock still not enough, next batch not yet confirm when, my ready stock also left last 2 units only.

Arista and zitron avaxx set is different. Arista is for corporate customer not direct to end user.

It's my phone.. so I know it's a scratch or a cut.. it's tiny scratched area, not a chunk.

Come JB i habiskan your 2 units

P/s : What are the colours?
