Just used Officeworks price match against Tobydeals $299.25 sale price on the Nokia 8 to get for $284.29. Note: Price match at Officeworks may be rejected as this model is dual sim (Officeworks is selling single sim).

Currently $548 at Officeworks (saving $263.71). Not showing on OW website (stock will vary store to store, superseded by Nokia 8 Sirocco).

Not a bad deal considering I paid ~$320 for a Nokia 6 not long after release and this puppy had a (too-high) RRP of $899.

Cons for me

  • no Android One, will get Android 9 Pie.
  • camera, although marketed as Ziess, isn't the best.
  • no qi

Pros for me

  • Snapdragon 835
  • expandable storage via microSD
  • USB-C
  • Band 28

    Just got one from Officeworks Strathpine, QLD. They have one left in stock. Officeworks Milton has two left.

      Thank you. Just picked one up at Milton. Think the other one is still there. Flashed slimdealin's OW receipt and the young girl rang it up as $247! No idea why. No figure like that on the receipt.

      • 01robbie on 14/11/2018 - 20:56

        Any chance that you could please upload the receipt?
        I got the last one in my area for $274. They said that they wouldn't go lower without proof. They wouldn't match NewbiefromVic's as it was damaged.

        Haha. She must've price beat the already reduced price on the receipt. Nice work. Sale of the century.

    • RangaWal on 14/11/2018 - 20:32

      Just rang the Strathpine store, but someone beat me by 10 minutes putting it on hold. :( I asked them the price, and they said $488!

      Warranty issues.

      Best case Nokia still warrants it for 12-24 months. Worst case Nokia won't honor it, doubt the seller will sort out any issues beyond ~6months.

    Tobydeals seems to have bad reviews: https://au.trustpilot.com/review/tobydeals.com

    Anyone here has experience with them? All their phones are a lot cheaper than the market. Not sure how genuine are they.

    • [Deactivated] on 14/11/2018 - 19:14

    • ju2au on 14/11/2018 - 19:40

      I decided to take a punt and place an order. I have brought many items without issues from websites such as Banggood, Gearbest, DWI and eGlobal and they all have horrendous Reviews.

      If a store turns over hundred of thousands of products per year, all it takes is 1% of the transactions to go wrong to get a long list of negative feedback. And we all know that the Chinese are not exactly "world class" in terms of customer service or communications.

      • AncientWisdom on 15/11/2018 - 14:25
        +1

        Usually most sales go fine, it's only if you have an issue that you have to deal with support - and that's where the terrible review cmnes from. So the question is: did you have any issues that got easily sorted from any of these badly reviewed shops?

      I got the last one in my area for $274. They said that they wouldn't go lower without proof. They wouldn't match NewbiefromVic's as it was discounted for a damaged box. Emeister's says technical issue so they might use that as an excuse.

    None in Wooloongabba, CBD, Mt Gravatt and Garden City.

    • stalker878 on 14/11/2018 - 21:11

      Garden city had 1 set. Refused to match. Same for underwood.

      • BargainCowboy on 14/11/2018 - 21:13

        Strange. I called and said there's nothing. Why wouldn't they price match?

        • iChopstick on 14/11/2018 - 21:15

          The model sold be OW is technically a different model to TobyDeals, as AU models are single sim.

    Wowsers. Much quicker than my s7 edge but worse camera and worse screen to body ratio. I wouldn't side grade to it but perfect for a lot out there

      They have them on display. When they look them up on main computer it doesnt pull up, they need to check on their ipod/stock thing.

      That said, none in stock at subiaco or oconnor unless you want display model.

      Morley had one, but refuses to price match as it said "frenzy" despite receipt. Wouldnt even match non sale price of $315

    • jaydee4 on 15/11/2018 - 00:58

      Jandakott OW had 2 and Fremantle had 1 left when I called this afternoon. Both told me to call 1300 number. Couldn't get a price match due to missing model number on TobyDeals website. Phone is not longer on OW site, you might need the OW Product number: IMNOKIA8SL.

            @Richrichlands: I got Nerang to call browns plains because I mentioned that there’s was 3 there this morning that sold with out any issues (damamged box etc.) for a reduced price. But they came back with they were customer returns & that’s the reason why they were selling cheap.
            But when I called browns plain they said they priced matched a sales docket. Nothing about them being reduced to clear already.

                @stalker878: Browns plain said they were out. Nerang stock levels were four. When I called Nerang they said they had none. Had to call multiple times before one of the staff checked the floor & said they were in stock . Idk if the four quantity is accurate or not. I was able to get one though.

    Managed to get the last one from the North Ryde store except they refused to price match it at $211 or even $247, so I managed to get it at the same price as the OP ($284.29). Still happy as this is a gift for my mum who is still using a Samsung Galaxy S4 that she has to charge 4 times a day.

    • stickymoo on 15/11/2018 - 15:07

      I had the same experience. When I called up the employee explained if you can get an Officeworks that has the item in stock for a lower price to email a quote through then another Officeworks will honour it. Becuase there was another half dozen examples on this forum of other stores with clearance prices. I thought it would be easy to check & find an example of one that doesn’t say “damaged box” etc. but I just accepted the Tobyau pricebeat. It became too much of a hassle.

  • stickymoo on 15/11/2018 - 14:49

    Nerang, QLD have 3 in stock still ($548). PriceBeat tobyau(checked mobile & desktop site. Thought they were refurb. Then another manager double checked.
    Would not accept the Officeworks receipts because of the comments written on them.
    It was a drawn out process with a lot of unique reasons given for why they can’t match the clearance prices of other Officeworks.
    In the end I paid more than what the majority of their own stores were/are clearing them out at.
    Which I was happy too. But, they will make you feel like a villain that has taken food from their children’s dinner plate.
    While processing the sale. The manager asked if I was reselling. I replied “I need a new phone”. Which is true, otherwise I would have purchased all four.

      I think it's hilarious - I called the Chatswood store hours earlier and got told they didn't have any.

        I called Nerang when I knew they had four in stock. I got told they had none. Twice!

    Got one from OW Traralgon last night $274. Bargain.

      Do you know if they had any left?

        Yesterday they had 2, after I got mine.

          Thanks. Damn, I nearly went last night, but someone said they only had a few left in Vic and they weren't Traralgon, I'll have to see how I go tonight.

            @Miss B: I thought the same after I read the comments. Ring them, you never know your luck.
