Hundreds line up at Nokia 5800 launch

That will only mean Filipinos are not poor :)

Not exactly. 200+ lined up, where there are over 80 million of us Pinoys at present.

Just goes to show that we’ve been under a crisis long before the current one. ;)

What’s so special about this Nokia 5800? What are its notable features that motivated those 200+ souls to line up and or travel as far WIDE?

My friend line up for 5800 but he said they have limited stocks..

I’m rather annoyed that they moved up the release by one week at the last moment. I’d registered for the pre-launch and had plans to go down to Manila during the weekend of the 17 and couldn’t make it for the 10th. If they don’t have stock of them for sale at the retail store when I do arrive in Manila it will be a double slap.

bahala na crisis basta bago ang phone :)

yes, please yuga, a review would be nice.

i think the financial crisis has not really hit us yet so people still have some money. wait till the middle of the year and if people would be lining up for gadgets then me pera nga ang pinoy! :)

im one of those people n pumila hehehe ika 103 ko. i’ve blue 5800

Even if the financial crisis hit the Philippines, there will always be more than 200 Filipinos out of 80 million who can afford to buy luxury items. A mere 200 people can not possibly represent the financial status of the rest of the Filipinos.

For those who have this phone, may I know from which country it was manufactured? Thanks!
And by the way I’m planning to go to Manila to buy this phone but after reading all the blogs here, medyo think twice na ako.. Should I wait for this phone to be launch here in Singapore?

to all those who have the phone 4 more than a week….any defects occurring? meron ba nasira o ayaw mag-cooperate ung fone?? please…I need to know!!!
