QUOTE(davidmak @ Jan 10 2009, 05:54 PM) Those AP sets were brought in to take advantage of the market where availability of original units are zero (before launching). So there are costs involved to bring in and also to profit from the demand from initial buyers. Then the originals are launched and OOPS, at a very attractive price even lower than AP sets. What happen to them? Burn finger lor... They can't reduce anymore, because they paid the launch price in Hong Kong which after all the foreign exchange is just slightly cheaper than original's price here. Add in the cost of bringing them in, paying people to bring it in, your margin isn't that big after all. lol... let ori be the hero!

I went to one local retailer here asking about 5800 price. She quote RM1470 for ori set (forget to ask which one). So, I ask what the price for AP set. She said last time the price was RM1700 but now they don't have stock.
Ha..ha.. never heard about that.
I think it more Avax/Zitron to gain market than Nokia. Because Ap and ori still from Nokia.

QUOTE(hanieyf @ Jan 10 2009, 06:00 PM) lol... let ori be the hero!  Actually Nokia didn't do anything to these people, Nokia already announced from the start that the product is an ultra cheap one. When it was launched in Europe, Rusia, etc the price has already show where this product stands. Its cheap because Nokia wants to compete with Apple. Remember Comes With Music service? Those AP companies missed all the signs. They basically risked it all. Now this is going to be the way of life. Availability of AP will be lower and lower. Last time our AP sets used to come from neighboring countries. Now I see sets from different countries further away, something which used to be 'water goods' before AP came into the market. The price of phones is going to be same over the world now or at least on par. This the way to fight/discourage parallel importers because they destroy market share and cause havoc on your international price structure.

All sets whether AP or Original should have all the accessories included. Unless some AP are cheating and taking things out of the package. But guitar pick isn't that expensive lar... But RM1999 for Zitron set is a little high, don't you think?

Pre order can get you a nokia stereo headset. not sure about AP set but if you check the unboxing videos in you tube, you will notice that all the package at other countries seem to be the same.

But at least it is original. Many people think that going Zitron is 'more' original than other authorized dealers. Its a myth. An A is A because it is an alphabet. Nothing more nothing less.

QUOTE(feimeng @ Jan 10 2009, 001:21 AM) but i oredi gores it, how to ask for replacement...... and summore i try to redeem using the activation code but it said that not enough digits shakehead.gif and there is no 5800 in the phone model drop-down selection list as an option
the actual redemption card is stated 1000 songs on it? The 100 songs is invalid. No problem even if scratched already. Go back to dealer to get your 1000 songs. Dun just support ori phones, Support ori music too !

after playing around..i finally got youtube working  in realplayer, go to options, settings and proxy then turn it off! dunno where it got those ip in the first place. Never set it before. Added on January 10, 2009, 6:39 pmbtw..i noticed something. This only happens when u use shortcuts on your main screen (the 4 shortcut menus) . do you notice a horizontal line after the 4 icons? very thin one...at first i thought it might be dead pixels...but when i changed to default or contacts shortcut, that line doesn't show!

I couldn't really cope with this fast-moving thread 2 days ago. As a result of it, I missed hundreds of posts.
It seems it's a very popular phone among LYN users. How about ppl from other states? I bet many ppl would be asking about it mainly because of the price nokia set on it.
I'll be getting a new phone when I get back to Malaysia. And tubey is now on top of my list.
