re: 7650 in UAE Overheard on TMF: One swallow does not a summer make but........... 7650 was launched here 3 weeks ago, my boss was first into the store and bought one for $678. I went 7 days later to get mine and they were sold out, not only that but the whole Country was sold out. I asked how many they had sold, one of 3 main dealers with multiple branches, if they sold out in only a week. Did they get only a handful, 50 perhaps ........ The storekeeper laughed at me...................1000's is the word he used.......sold out in a week. No wonder he laughed. New deliveries were not expected until 3-4 weeks time. Looks like people here were waiting and were hungry for it when it arrived. No words yet on user experience as my boss went on vacation the day after he bought it, hadn't even took it out of the box before he flew off with it. As I say one swallow does not a summer make but maybe the replacement market is beginning to getting back to full swing. This is now the most expensive Nokia phone available here now and still they sold thousand's. I hope this is repeated in the big markets in Europe. - Eric -
