Well it looks as though Nokia is pushing back the shipping date of the N82 black-again. A few retailers had a release date of early April which aparently they get from Nokia.
Remember the quote from Nokia's press release about the black beauty...
"The Nokia N82 in black is expected to start shipping within weeks, with an estimated retail price of approximately 400 euros, before taxes and subsidies."
A reader here at the blog tipped us off about the date being pushed back at mobilecityonline.com to May 10. Huge bummer right. One nice thing is that it looks like the prices for the N82, including the black - are dropping. At that site you can preorder the phone for $479.99. Not a bad deal and I'm hoping it drops even more by next month.
Its not rare for Nokia to keep pushing release dates back. Nokia N95 fans in the States recently experienced this with the Nokia N95-4. Some people blamed the retailers for posting false and hopefull dates, but I wouldn't lie the blame entirely on them.
So far it looks like the "funny man" Stavros is the only one to get his hands on the black N82.
Ps. I know today is Thursday and still no Wednesday Themesday. I was so busy yesterday between work and fixing my broken down car. I promise I'll get something up for you guys today. It should be interesting too so stay tuned.

This is pathetic... how hard is it to swap a silver cover with a black one.
This could be a bad move by Nokia!
In England the only provider carrying the Silver N82 O2 as pulled it from their online sales pages. I called up to ask why and they said due to poor sales!!!
Something not quite right about this me thinks.
Mozzer.
I called Mobile City Online to order this on Tuesday (the day it was supposed to be available) and they said they expected it in later in the day. I checked their website later that night and the ship date had changed to April 10, so I sent an email to inquiry what was going on and they said "Nokia has held the phone back."
I hope its available soon, I want mine!
What the F__K is wrong w/ nokia? Why are they doin this? Many n82 fans are so upset w/ this development.
I checked back to Mobile City's website, and the release date for the black N82 is now listed as May 10. WTF Nokia!!!???
Right now the only people buying high end Nokia handsets in the US are people like, tech enthusiasts with disposable income. If we can't get what we want when we want it we will go elsewhere, there are certainly other choices for our dollar. I hope Espoo does not really make us wait until May 10.
I need to know, N82 Black was launched anywhere in the world?? I'm asking this because I friend of mine saw it selling in Paraguay! Is that possible??
*** Breaking News ***
Nokia delayed the black version because the design manager ended up having homosexual relations with his assistant. The two dudes were caught red handed and the final version was in his pocket. The police threw the two homo's in prison and nobody knows where the mysterious black N82 went. ;)
