Vodafone Australia Nokia N86 8MP release date and twitter...

Vodafone Australia Release date for Nokia N86 8MP is : .... They don't know!

UPDATE: Vodaphone called me back on friday the 17th as promised, and unfortunatly the handset has not been approved etc on their network, so its at least a month from now according to their phone staff. Which means approximatly 17 August 2009

UPDATE 2: I called again just to check this date is still on track and the approximate date is still the same, this is the date they are expecting to have it in stock etc so inclding 5-10 days shipping means End of August till I have my hands on it... Perhaps I should have just bought it online :(

UPDATE 3: BAD NEWS! I called again on the 17th August to check and now am being told that its 3 months away.... Is vodafone pushing to give the N97 more sales or delaying for a christmas release? Either way this is bad news. I'm hoping to get another opinion from someone at vodafone and will be calling them again this week and will update this post.

UPDATE 4: OK NEWS! I called Vodafone this week and again has someone fantstic help me out, they said its more likely a month away so I'm willing to wait another month before I call for another update!... so now it looks like the end of september. :(

I continue to search for news on the Vodafone Australia Release Date. If you can't wait that long try searching online for the Cheapest N86 Online

Thats right N86 8MP is due to be released in Australia by vodafone, they are selling it already plan and all! I was very excited about potentially getting my new phone 5-10 days after I ordered it... until I found out it isn't listed as even being stocked in the warehouse (oursourced distributor)!.

As of 17th July 2009 (Emily Camerons Birthday by the way..) Nobody at vodafone is able to tell me when the phone will arrive. I'm going to wait untill tomorrow afternoon before I start to consider other options.

In my opinion you should sell something you don't stock without notifying the customer of this little.. detail before you start charging the for it! :).

I'm very excited about the phone and I'm aware of its limitations. I will definalty post a Nokia N86 8MP review as soon as I have my hands on it.

I will also update the date I get the phone to notify others thats its possible to ship, as its in stock.

Stay Posted Australia.

I've decided to wait it out and let my order stay pending with vodafone, if you can't wait check out the prices at Amazon or alternatively try another googler search here: Cheapest N86 Online

whats the minimum plan that you get the phone for free on?

Rob Mulally said...

AU$49 Plan (no data)
AU$69 Plan (1 GB Data)

I also asked about data, Similar to the Iphone Plans.

Data is a rip off on our mobile networks.

Cheers.

Can't believe i'm not the only person looking for the n86 on voda, lol. I called up the call centre on loyalty and upgrades and visited a few voda stores too. Different stories from all of them, some say that the phone won't be relesased on voda, others say that it's coming soon, and a few say it'll come round around christmas. I'm tempted to just buy the damn thing outright.

Rob Mulally said...

Yeah I ened up buying it at http://www.mobicity.com.au/ outright.

Vodafone were really good about it, i'm still undercontract but they helped take some of the pain away from this experience.

Good Luck!
Its great having my hotmail and gmail on my N86 now and I have it set to sync to my Gmail Contacts list.
