Nokia is trying a similar campaign for the N97, but it is much more expensive and does not feel like it is worth the money to most people. Especially considering its maimed keyboard where Cyrillic "B" has to be entered with a SHIFT key. Cutting so many keys and removing any tactile response, then overcharging for the device was a really silly thing to do, I guess...
Well, I'm halfway between Atlanta, Charlotte, Knoxville and Charleston... pretty close to dead center between them all - all are 180 or so miles between - and I do a lot of business ranging from Orlando to Washington DC on the regular.

I have never seen anything about the 5800 advertised. In fact, I've seen more about the N97 than 5800. But I was in Chicago and New York during those times... so go figure.

As it stands, until I hit the west coast again, I might not see anything on the 5800 besides online on a few sites. It shows you a difference in locations perhaps?

Or just perception. Either way, Nokia's presence is dwindling in some key areas.
