Sales Stopped for Nokia's 5800 XpressMusic

The most waited Nokia’s first ever touch screen phone was launched in the US last week. Unfortunately it didn’t lost long much. The complaint on the poor performance in 3G and the speakers got the phone back in to its shell.  Nokia in an official letter to Mobile-Review.com said:

“All the faulty earpieces have been replaced with units produced by a different manufacturer, both those used in production models and those in the warehouses. I shall emphasize that we haven't changed the model of the 5800 XpressMusic's earpiece, but rather changed our supplier. It's easy to prove since the new units look differently.

Starting in late January all authorized service centers have been receiving packages with the new earpieces and any users who made warranty claims after that time shouldn't experience the problem again.

It's worth noting that the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is one of our company’s top-priority products therefore its sales have been monitored by our Research & Development (R&D) division from day one, and as soon as we found out about this defect an official representative of Nokia's R&D department visited Russia to study the issue on-site.

So, 5800s made from late January on are sure be safe from developing issues with the earpiece. “

 

The North American Variant (NAM 5800) went on sale at the Nokia stores in New York and Chicago last week. The New Yorkers complained about the 3G network problem (they couldn’t find AT&T). So even NAM 5800 sales was also stopped.

 

So if you are looking to buy one of these Nokia 5800, beware?? Let me know if it works well!!
