Searching for the Nokia 9500 --- what's up???
Posts: n/a
I have just returned from a trip to Hong Kong. Hong Kong being famous
as it is for being the place to pick up electronic gadgets at discount
prices, one of my goals for the trip was to pick up a Nokia 9500
cellphone.
As it turned out, I must have gone to 30 shops to hear the same story:
"Out of stock".
I eventually gave up on the discount stores and went to stores in the
"expensive" district.....same story.
I'd seen one on display at the airport but walked right by it figuring
that things "on sale" in those duty free shops are about 30% *more*
expensive. But on my way back, I went to the store with the intent of
swallowing my pride and couphing up the extra bucks. No luck; same
story! Turns out the display was just a dummy shell. The real phone
was....yep....out of stock.
But here's the thing: I never saw anyone using one actually using a
9500 during my entire stay there.
So what's going on?? Has the model been recalled or discontinued by
Nokia? Is there something else new just on the horizon so they aren't
shipping the 9500 any more?
Anyone out there have any idea?
