Nokia 5800 Nav. price jump!? Why does this happen?

Um, it was on sale for Black Friday weekend... You have to act quick. It's out of stock because everyone snapped it up then! Plus, it's more expensive than the non-nav because it has more features.

I just noticed the same thing also. I paid the same back in Dec I do not know why the price jumped so high.

The last price before the "spike" to $450 was $215, which is the price I paid for it. I never saw it for $150 though, THAT would really have been an amazing deal. I think you just have to wait for the price to drop - nothing to do about it but wait (I waited for 2 months before buying it, because the price was too high, even at 260). All the best

They are increasing the price. Last week, it is 1849 - 250 = $1599. They do not want the people know that. I think samsung try to make every dealer at the same price. So, the price will not drop it suppose to be. But, they forget that they may not be the best and we have a plenty brand to choose from. They are no iphone.

@ alexanderaku, I just bought a Nav edition 5800 a couple of weeks ago. I had the same questions as RY Chua has. Hence did the research and found out the differences. That said, I still bought this phone and love it. I personally can't comment of whether the update on Xpress music has made that screen more sensitive than the current Nav version or not. Although kinetic scrolling is a plus in the new firmware. Apart from that I liked the chrome strip on the Nav compared to the Xpress music, which comes with the same color strip as the rest of the phone (check out the pics of the Nav edition vs. Xpress music). Also, I bought it from a different seller and paid a little extra as amazon didn;t have this price then, so this price is great for the Nav edition.

Nyrius has made several improvement to NPCS550 Pro, the unit was also selling at a lower promotional price for sometime. This is why the unit appears to have jumped in price more than it really has.

I posted a large write up about Amazon's List Pricing issue on these. Amazon chose to delete the post instead of fixing the issue. I'm a bit upset about this. Its false advertising. I checked thru several of the new Garmin devices and not one had the correct List Price on Amazon. They artificially raised the List Price anywhere from $50 to $100 on every single one of the new Garmin devices. The "Suggested Retail Price" on Garmin much lower on Garmins site than on Amazon. Wonder how many other items that we believe that we getting such good deals on are the same.

Since Jan 1 we have had increases from the manufacturer, increases from all of the carriers, and increases from Amazon. Sorry if we are unable to continue to sell at a previous rate and all other sellers have also had to increase as well or just stop selling. thank you for understanding we would love for it to stay the same but we cannot control these increases. Kind regards

I apologize I cannot not tell you who had it at 603 and why it jumped since we are not the seller who had that price. There are several sellers and we sell it for 703.99 + shipping.Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I'm sorry, but I don't know why the price changed. I would have to check with tech support.

Well, it's an issue of supply and demand. The product is no longer manufactured, and New Old Stock - which this is - is in limited supply. Most of us who want or need this device will settle for a used or 'refurbished' one for a fraction of that $489.99 price, but sellers of the NOS item are asking the highest price they think they can get - and if you check around, you'll find that this inflated figure (roughly ten times its original retail price just several years ago) is in fact in the ballpark.

I agree entirely with this price being too high. Hopefully early adoptors won't pull the trigger and buy this.This phone is actually a no go fro 2 reasons. 1 is the price and 2 no support for WPA. WEP is no longer a viable wireless security implementation. Everyone knows that. I will not degrade my network security just to use this phone.Those of you comparing this to a cell phone are way off target. Cell-phones have other radios and technologies that this thing simply doesn't have. Realistically, you could get a wifi pocketpc and dedicate it as your phone and get a better deal, since the PDA can do soo much more. NETGEAR needs to bring this to the 99-150 range, support WPA and I'll be 1st in line. I agree entirely with this price being too high.

Highly doubtful for the slider version. It's currently on sale @ Radio Shack for $149.99. It may be offered up @ next years Black Friday for $50, since it is an entry level smartphone.

Just an update - Because I didn't want to take the chance of getting the older v8, and then having to go to Garmin for the latest NT2008-v9, I ordered mine today from PC Nation.I placed my order over the phone, they were very helpful, and they confirmed they have the new version. PC Nation is selling it for $9.00 less than Amazon, and they offer free 3 day shipping. Because I'd like to get mine before Thursday/Friday of this week, I opted for overnight by DHL - they have a special of $11.00ish.I just checked online, and my Garmin 350 has shipped. I should be getting it by tomorrow around 3:00ish PM PST.If anyone is interested, I'll write back tomorrow to let you know about my new toy!
