@ 786KBR,
Blue W800?Certainly news here,and never seen one in the opposite-colour-of-orange in all the shops I've been into.
Maybe I ought to check out the ultra-larny shops like Harrods and Selfridges and see what exclusive stuff they might have again...
Can you get any more details or pics?That'll be quite a conversation point in the esato general threads as well if you could get a few photos and post them for all to gawk at.
As regards the N-series,I presume you are referring to 2 of the 3 new N-series phones,namely the N70 and N90,but as far as I know the N91 is yet to make its world debut in the consumer market...unless that shop owner has a few particularly well-connected suppliers...?
Prices?

@ 786KBR,
That blue W800,is it the same kinda blue as this,the brand new Nokia 6969 ( ) lady's phone,destined to be more popular than the new L'Amour range?
Apparently you can't turn off vibration alert on this model...

@ Kryptik,
LOL,happens to the best of us.
Saw this pic on Axxxr's post re the Yank-spec Samsung A 815,and what's on the screen as the wallpaper...? The Eastern Cape's exclusive contribution to the world's flora: the strelitzia, AKA 'ikhamanga' amongst rural isiXhosa in the area.
The strelitzia is very popular with the Yanks,but the plant won't pollinate in America,because the strelitzia's main pollinater,the sunbird,is not indigenous to the US.The sunbird parks off on that purple bit,which causes the sheath to open and expose the nectar.The poor buggers' beak gets full of pollen during his binge.
The Yanks have the hummingbird or colibri,which is a close relative to our sunbird.
However, the hummingbird does not 'perch',but hovers when trying to collect the stuff.The result?The strelitzia's purple sheath does not open,as there is no bird's weight on the purple sheath to 'open' it and gain access/expose the goods.
The Yanks do occasionally artificially pollinate the strelitzias,but it's far cheaper for them to just import another crate of seeds from SA...
Nature's incredible.
Anyway,enough about birds and purple sheaths for now...
Gonna check out that website that brix mentioned earlier.

hehehe, and so say all of us!!
Never knew the colibri was a bird! Always thought it was the name of some Italian chap who was in the towel business since they've a local factory. Interesting facts about the strelitzia...
I see that buyathome site has quite a big range. Nice find, Brix.

@ Kryptik,
have a look closely at their logo and all will be revealed:
http://www.colibri.co.za/about.htm
Yeah,made in your native PE and CT.
Regarding that site,some really competitive,excellent prices (R2590 for a 3230 smartphone,R2829 for a K750 and R3457 for a W800) with some way over-priced. (eg. old N-Gage or R1735).
Overall,a good find indeed.
