Duty free is just a brand... its always more expensive in most of the products. Where else do you think they get cash to afford rent at the airport? David. On Sun, Jan 9, 2011 at 12:08 PM, Brian Munyao Longwe <blongwe@gmail.com>wrote:
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!

@ 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?
