Off Komplett perhaps?

dumbyearbook · 15-06-2007 8:02pm

Buy it from one of the networks you'd need a contract like? 899 or 929 is mad money! The 3G stores have them too i think

Ruu_Old · 15-06-2007 8:07pm

Slightly cheaper than Komplett here @ Pixmania, unless you want the 18 carat gold version that costs around €1175.

Ace2007 · 15-06-2007 11:47pm

na want to buy it sim free - don't like contracts at all....

Ace2007 · 16-06-2007 10:56pm

Ace2007 · 16-06-2007 11:28pm

Shops are too expensive.Buy it from ebay or somewhere abroad.here its too expensive.I think buy the 8600 its much better i have it and had the sirocco before.

Ace2007 · 17-06-2007 1:10pm

i've wanted the 8800 sirocco for months now,
buyin from ebay - you can get loads of fakes going round...

Ace2007 · 17-06-2007 1:15pm

ok i've decided to buy the N95, this week and then in a few weeks buy the 8800 Sirocco, might fall in price - what yis think

just wondering/checking - how do you put movies/videos/music onto ur n95?

my laptop has infered but not bluetooth- does the n95 have infered as well as bluetooth

Very easy, just use the cable provided.some phones come with memory card and some dont.

j4vier · 17-06-2007 2:43pm

the n95 has ir too but i wouldnt use it to transfer anything larger than a pic.
it would take ages

Ace2007 · 17-06-2007 3:14pm

does the n95 come with a memory card and if not - how much does one cost

It depends where you buy the phone.First buy it and then see,

Ace2007 · 17-06-2007 5:03pm

why buy first???
would i not look for a place where the card comes with it????

Yeah but you wanted to buy in ireland and not many people sell the phone and who does they wont sell the card as nokia dont sell the phone with a card. They do abroad in some markets.

Random · 17-06-2007 9:17pm

A memory card costs fa these days anyway - so if you're splashing out on a n95 or 8800s then the 10-40 euro that costs is irelevant almost.

That person is dodgy and isnt in dublin.I think i emailed them before and they said they are in china.It should be made in finland.
Look this listing was taken off by ebay which was by the same seller.

How do you know that it was the same seller, i emailed him and he gave me his mobile number and said that he would meet up to sell the phone...

Ok must be a different seller.Also ask him why his last auction was removed by ebay.It usually isnt unless its fraud.Have you dealt on ebay before.In my opinion after nearly 5 years on ebay i would stay clear

Ace2007 · 19-06-2007 3:57pm

he says that scammers tried to buy the phone last week and he filed an unpay item dispute thingy....

Give it a try but dont get stuck in a scam.Good luck and its a really nice phone.

Ace2007 · 27-06-2007 5:46pm

right i'm going to defo buy this phone now, (i think, still can't choose between it and n95) but where is the cheapest place that i can buy it in ireland, cheapest i found was €900.

jrey1981 · 27-06-2007 8:19pm

900 for the sirocco.then get the n95 instead.dont buy a 8800 for that much.

Phone selling isn't allowed here, you'll end up booted off the site entirely if you aren't careful.

Sorry about that ruu.

sharkman · 28-06-2007 3:46pm

I have both of the phones you are looking for . And of the two I am leaning towards keeping the 8800 scirocco. It's not the most up to date , has less applications and worse battrey life , but has better feel to it .

Have you handled both phones ???

jamieh · 29-06-2007 7:41am

Hey all,

I got my 8800 from a shop in Dungarvan, Co.Waterford for €700. I think it was a good deall, but seemingly they only had a few for that price and it was months ago.

Off topic....but I was in Harrods at the weekend, they have a Gold Vertu with Diamonds all over it.....70,000 Sterling!!! ...and I thought the 8800 was mad money!!

Ace2007 · 29-06-2007 7:34pm

yea i got mine today- just wonder any on yous have problems with old sim cards- metoer told me that i have to get a new sim card for me to txt from it????

Data cable or through bluetooth

Ace2007 · 01-07-2007 3:47am

and does the data cable not come with the phone???? how much is one to buy

sharkman · 01-07-2007 7:03am

No data cable for the 8800 . There is a BT dongle for sale on adverts for €10 though .

You happy with it ?
