770 on sale real soon now
Thursday September 01st 2005, 4:07 am Category: Nokia 770 news

The official page still bears that “coming in Q3″ promise, but today a contact from Nokia said that “media copies” of the device would be available. Those are the Nokias they distribute to magazines and review sites like CNet right before it hits the market.

I demand that 770 now! I’ve been clicking that http://www.nokiausa.com/phones site for hours and nobody seems to be working on updating the pages.
Somebody needs to do something or I want my money back!

We’re just antsy.

I’m still not sure we’ll see it before the end of september - probably the beginning of October. The reason for this is simple - have you seen any advertising for the 770? I know I haven’t, either online or in the “real world”. I think nokia have left it too late to be launching this month.

My bet is we’ll see an ad campaign in the second half / last week of the month, then the 770 will actually be available from October.

I don’t know why they don’t update the information on their web sites. Nothing looks more stupid that having a web site saying something will be available on a certain date and it being past that date. I always think “Well, it wasn’t released on time. I wonder what’s wrong with it?”.

Well, Q3 isn’t over yet…

Comment by Matt Brubeck 09.09.05 @ 1:31 am

Indeed, just have patience, the 3Q ends 30 September ;-) .

I guess I tend to assume they mean towards the start of the quarter rather than the dying days. But yes you’re absolutely right, they still have time!

Comment by Simon 09.09.05 @ 4:16 am

I wonder if this site will be redesigned to look ok at 800 pixels wide…

Shouldn’t Nokia tell us when? The people reading this blog are clearly the early adopters, the crowd that will buy it the day it comes out. It would be lovely if they just made some effort to keep us happy.

At any rate, I wish it would come out now! I’m ready!

Comment by Josh 09.10.05 @ 8:20 am

I’d rather they got on with developing it than pander to us lot - lets face it, we’re all going to buy one when they come out whether they talk to us beforehand or not!!

Comment by James 09.12.05 @ 7:31 pm

If the media copies are available, where are the reviews?? Hurry, hurry!!

Comment by Propane 09.13.05 @ 10:17 pm

Better they release a nice stable, bug free product than have us early adopters upset with them!

Hello dear MobileFanatics,
I m from Indonesia
I too collect the latest gadgets I may find along d way !

Do U think they will launch it in Singapore or Jakarta or Malaysia or Thailand ???
Perhaps cheaper here in Jakarta ???
I m usin 7710. It’s very much limited in it’s many function especially here 3G generation is not even likely available !
Unlike in S’pore !

In Korea, Samsung launched it’s AnyCALL 7Mpix camera mobile phones !
When I checked in Korea they said it can’t b used in Indonesia !
Any idea how I could proove they are wrong ?
:-)

Thanks for suggestions !!!

I�ve seen the adverts, they were sent to me to give my opinion as a potential user one month ago. They were about people reading their mail or booking flights ans stuff like that in different places like the toilet or an airport. Well, quite predictible, ain�t it?

I read it won’t be out until Q4 but hey, today is sept 30th. Something must happen.
