Nokia N91 Price Drop?

[ricky_pradeep]

Hey ppl!

A friend of mine plans to purchase a Nokia N91... Do you suggest he buy it now or are there chances of the price coming down in the coming days since the Nokia plant is coming up here in Chennai?

original (bill + warranty) N91 costs around 29000 here in raipur. any chances in reduction of prices. only when som more higher new model is launched then we might see a reduction in the costs. it also boasts of a original BOSE headphones which costs around 8800/- here in india.
but 1 piece of advice. the sound is ULTIMATE.

[gdatuk]

ricky.congrads to ur friend....tell him he made a good choice...N91 has got a good SAR rating of 0.22...yet another reason to be happy abt
hey akshay....N91...has 4Gb internal Hard drive based memory..just like in ipod mini...
its is not a memory card....

[hellomotto]

tech goods always drops in price ..now an Ipod is $150 , u will get the same ipod $50 after 5 yrs I think .................and that u will Not going to take that time as there will be lot cooler competetors with much hotter features .

[hellomotto]

5 yrs ago I took a celeron PC ( 733 mgz + cd drive + 14" CRT ) with 40k .

5 months ago I took a pc(AMD 3000+ DVD rw+ 17" LCD +zebronics cabinet ) with 40k

thnx gdatuk.

Regarding nokia plant comin up near chennai... well it will take atleast a yr or
more for the plant to actually start working full fledged & some more time above it for the price advantage to be passed on to the consumers.

I think 30-60 days wait is worth but not more.

[gdatuk]

right....u can wait for 2-3 months...but after that...if u buy that in lower price...it will be outdated in the current market.

nokia plant here is only assembling units now...rumours are..they are gonna launch a mobile for 1.5k...dunno how true it is..but it will all take time...

@akshay
the N91 is positioned in the market a " kind of " alternative to the iPod,its for music lovers so that they can carry their huge collection with them.The 4gb comes as a small hard disk ( microdrive ).and since they assume that 4gb is more than enough, there's no extra memory slot for an MMC card.
