December 08, 2005

If you received the B-mobile info-magazine within your Trinidad and Tobago daily newspaper of choice you would have noticed one or two high-market cellular phones.
Among them is the Nokia N90, introduced in April 2005.

The Nokia N90 retails for US700 in North America and I estimate -given the greed of legal black-marketers (TSTT)- it will be offered locally for >US1000.
Not a problem though, if a consumer wants to pay way past a reasonable mark-up price, that is his right.

Sources tell me the Nokia N90 was exclusively sold at Ritz Camera as a means of highlighting its advanced digital photographic capabilities. The Nokia N90 has a 2MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics and the usual accoutrements of auto-focus, integrated flash and editing capabilities.
It is indeed the usual accoutrements except it is better.
Anyway I digress.

The problem is TSTT may not have these phones in stock. I say (speculate?) so because of my knowledge that those (North Americans) who pre-ordered abroad have not received their cellular phones.
It remains the case despite Ritz Camera losing their exclusive contract on December 1st.
Neiman Marcus and CompUSA are now retail partners.

TSTT has to level with this country and explain why they are advertising phones they do not have in stock and are unlikely to receive for many many months.
And that's just the first of many questions we have for our Trinidad and Tobago Telecommunications monopoly.
