Nokia is making a boost to their presence in the US with the Nokia E7 launch. Nokia E7 is the new communicator from Nokia with 4 inch AMOLED display, 8MP camera with dual LED flash and gorgeous hardware keyboard. For the geeks, it comes with a 680 MHz ARM 11 processor, Broadcom BCM2727 GPU, Symbian^3 on board, pentaband 3G and HDMI out with the cable in the box.
Now the price. Nokia is selling the E7 unlocked from their own online store in the US for $679 !! Thats over $200 more than the N8 which sits on the same store at $450, and both phones share pretty much the same processor and RAM. Pre orders had opened on March 8th and Amazon was listing it too at the same $679 with shipping from March 31st. It works on AT&T and T-Mobile, but as of now theres no word on any carrier picking it up with a subsidy.
We know the E7 hardware is gorgeous, but $679 in a market where people expect a contract and a few hundred dollars shaved off is a tough sell. If you were wondering, the phone was announced at Nokia World last September, so it took over six months to reach the US. Are you buying one at this price?? Let us know in the comments.
