Nokia USA Lowers Price of Nokia 5800 To $359 On Official Release
February 27th, 2009 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •
The sales people behind Nokia 5800 NAM are really confusing. They give a $399 suggested retail for the NAM version when the Euro version were being sold for $350, but they gave pre-order coupons lowering it to $359. Then the US flagships had them in stock for $399, but inventory system issues prevented them from selling to eager fans. Today, they published a press release of its availability and guess what… the online price is back down to $359.
The Nokia 5800 certainly got more exciting launches in other countries like having Paris Hilton in the UK, concert in Malaysia, or street fair in Thailand.

Unbelievable, it just went up to 399 again. Anyway, anybody knows when will Nokia ship the pre-ordered 5800? I am getting anxious! lol

The big graphic with prices slashed through has been changed back to $399.00. Apparently it was a mistake.
I suspect that they jumped the gun and put the wrong graphic up. There must be a price cut planed for some future time or no one would have made the graphic.
They really don’t seem to have their act together.

Mark, its at $399 again. I still am not seeing where you guys are seeing the $359. I have processed a checkout twice now & it still shows $399+tax

wow they all went back up, earlier today the e63 and e75 aswell as the 5800 were priced lower. Must have been an early announcement slip or something
