Online sales open for Nokia N8

"OnlineStuff have opened up online orders for cash customers via NokiaStuff so that South Africans have the chance to secure one of the most revolutionary devices to be launched by Nokia in recent months," said Gerard Brandjes, GM, Nokia South Africa. "The N8 is the first Nokia device to be running Symbian^3 software, which ultimately delivers greater memory to allow more applications to run in parallel on the device."

Free, one-hour consultation

The first 1000 customers who order online will receive a free, one-hour consultation with a Nokia Butler who will deliver the phone and go through all the ins and outs of the device. As well as this, all online order customers will get a free silicone cover to go with their device.

In order to ensure that consumers wanting to order and pay for their Nokia N8 immediately can do so, Nokia has partnered OnlineStuff, a company that provides secure payment and order facilities. All orders and payments can be made via the OnlineStuff secure website and orders will be handled through Nokia's existing logistics partners.

MTN customers will need to contact the MTN call centre and ask for upgrades on 808 from their MTN phone or +27 (0) 83 1808 from any other phone.
