No Nokia N97s through Carphone Warehouse?
I’ve just got off the phone to Carphone Warehouse Loyalty department. In trying to upgrade to a Nokia N97 , I was told that the stock has been locked.
Apparently, many N97s are being bought, but just as many had been sent back. I was told it was a software issue and that’s why no Nokia N97s are being sold to the public (at least through this channel). So – they’ve got the N97 but they aren’t allowed to sell it. (Unless that was just an excuse to fob me off as I’m technically not due for an upgrade for 8 more days due to upgrading my simplicity sim in anticipation of a trial handset)
Fortunately I’ve got the N97 on trial from WOMWorld, so I’m not too desperate now to get it on any network at any tariff. I can wait with O2-CPW who says they can match (possibly better) T-Mobiles pay monthly offers. I think through CPW stores, it’s currently available only through Orange. (24 month contract).
- On a side note, CPW have just received stock of the iPhone 3GS which had already ran out.
