The Nokia Lumia 800 will soon land on South Africa. A leaked tipset mentioned the device would be launched in South Africa sometime in the first quarter of this year. Now official info provided by Nokia South Africa Facebook page spreads light upon the launch date — the device will be released on February 7.
The launch date sounds odd to me, because South Africa has never been among the first ones to get such devices, especially when there are a number of European countries, which still haven’t received it. If I knew I’d come up with a reasonable explanation to this, I’d definitely search for a hidden meaning. But right now I don’t have one.
I don’t think Nokia will launch the Nokia Lumia 710 for South Africa, but I believe South African customers should feel most lucky to have the Nokia Lumia 800. Nokia South Africa has also prepared a promotional launch party for the smartphone. It will take place on January 25 in Midrand (an area in Gauteng Province). Device details, including price and availability options, will most likely be revealed at the event.
