Forgot to mention that the Nokia E5 is going for Ksh 20,999 at FoneXpress - I found it in the duty free at JKIA going for $490 dollars!!!!!! When I asked them why it was cheaper in town - the daft kubaff said "Those phones in Nakumatt don't have duty!" LoL - I just thanked the guy and walked away before I burst out laughing - where do you start with a dummy like that? Bwahahahahaha!

At last!!!!!!
Wow, all the good stuff happens when I'm away - I managed to get my E5 (thanks Gichingiri!) at FoneXpress when I was in Nbi two weeks ago - the damn thing saved my beef when I got lost driving in Jo'Burg at 2:30am (don't ask what I was doing awake at that hour) - I opened the Nokia Maps - told it "drive home" (and thank God I had been messing around with the gadget in the morning and saved a petrol station near my house as "home"!)
Anyway - I'm glad to hear the IDEOS is (finally) available - can someone nab one for me and hold it - I'm back in Nbi on the 20th Jan for 2 days before I lift off for other parts of Africa.
right now the E5 is saidia'ing me to navigate roads in Mauritius - esp in the Port Louis CBD which treacherously difficult....
Cheers and happy new year to y'all!
Mblayo

@ Odhiambo
Once you exprience Android 2.2 running apps in all its glory you will realize that Nokia/ Blackberry have miles to go . I also have an E72 and compared to a far much cheaper huawei i bought for my wife in December , my Nokia e72 feels like a Con Job.
She even has Amazon kindle installed and is already purchasing ebooks and syncing with her PC.
Cheers Kevin

I think they are deliberately hoarding them so that they sell other less performing phones. Based on the specs, this phone is a better deal than a 60k blackberry
Kevin,
Please convince me about that assertion and I'll get my Huawei kesho. I have and E72 and S8003 to discard in that case. Is there something obvious we (me and Njoki) are missing about IDEOS?
