one thing lang akong apprehension sa nokia sa... ilang kakusog mo depreciate sa ilang high end models... I dunno lang.. my gf's gay friend bought his n80 phone just january of this year @ 28k.. and now the price stumbled down to 13-14k.. half the original price jud..

SE has it's share of depreciation sad.. but ingon nila.. nokia is tops when it comes to who goes first to depreciate among cellphone units..

that's awfully true bro josh, that's the only downside that i can see with nokia phones, the rest are great na

pero at least ma sulit man sab og gamit ang units.... di mani pang baligya akong phone pang personal use so when I buy my phones I dont think of how much it will cost a few months from now... Cause if that's my way of thinking then did gyud ko makapalit og phone. consumer electronics will always depreciate in their price after a few months. Technology obsoletes itself. usa ra akong nahibal-an na di mo depreciate - YUTA!

its more likely because Nokia releases too many high end phones to replace their existing high end line. Sony does release new phones but the high end line receives an update once in awhile. look at the 910 it took years for the p990 to come out. then theres the spacing between the k750 to k800 to k850 (k810 is like an update to k800 so it really doesn't count)

True enough if you had to base the phones on resale value we would never end up buying brand new phones (thank God for Istorya!) But that doesn't mean you always get good values for 2nd hand. As usual, you get what you pay for. If its too cheap there is always a draw back. My p990 keypad died! Its freaking expensive! SE in ayala is 2060 while Audionet is 3500!!! Although I just god used to using it without the keypad and its not bad! The qwerty really works!

it just seems nokia tops the depreciation chart but the way i look at it, its just similar to all other leading brands.
example s.e. ni ryan bought 4 moths earlier than your friends n80.
back then it was around 35k (some shops offering it as high as 45k) if im not mistaken...now its only 13-14k.
and thats without a high end replacment to the p series.

nokia just seems to depreciate more because it sell out faster thus new price all the time in smaller amount but constant week per week as distributors and suppliers get new stocks.
where as other brands sell slower thus new price comes couple weeks later but in bigger amounts.
distributors/suppliers order in bulk. only when those stocks are sold out do they get new stocks and only then can they adjust the price. am i making sense?

look at it this way.
if nokia model A and s.e. model B and samsung model C and moto model D comes out with a unit worth 20k in april.
by june A would be 18k(new batch new price), B 20k, C 20k, D 20k.
by july or august A would be 16, B 16k, C 16k, D 16k.
so given enough time for the other brands to catch up, depreciation wise, they would catch up more or less

besides, its easier and faster to re-sell a nokia that the other brands...specially in the lowend to mid range...

Correct, I agree, similar ra ila rate mo depreciate. Nokia or SE, even XDA. but easier to resell nokia. :mrgreen:
