Nokia 808 PureView gets a U.S. release date

For those of you thinking about shelling out some hard earned cash to get an unlocked Nokia 808 PureView here in the states, a release date has finally been published for the device.

As we told you yesterday, there are no carrier subsidies on the device and it is only coming to the U.S. because of popular demand. Amazon has now begun taking pre-orders for the handset and says the Nokia 808 PureView will be released on July 8, 2012.

In addition to a release date, Nokia also gave T-Mobile customers some good news by updating its blog post saying that the Nokia 808 PureView will not be limited to 2G speeds on T-Mobile. In addition to AT&T the device “works just fine with T-Mobile in the United States.”

If this all sounds good to you and you’re ready to fork over $699, head on over to Amazon to pre-order the device now.

Let's hope it will not be too expensive for Americans.

It's not problem for me. It's just ridicoulous how are some Americans complaining about steep price.

Part of the benefits of buying an unlocked phone (like this) is that you will not be forced into a new contract. I still use my $15/month "data unlimited" data plan that I signed up for years ago along with a "feature phone", but currently use with a Nokia N8. Over a standard 2-year contract term, that adds up to savings of $360 (when compared to a $30/month 3 gig smartphone data plan).

The one caveat is that if you buy an unlocked LTE phone (such as the Sony Xperia Ion, LT28i), there is no telling yet what AT&T does once you put this on their network. Their own 4G phones (such as the same phone with branding, LT28at) require specific "4G Smartphone Data Plans". Even though the price for those plans are equivalent to standard (3G) smartphoen data plans, they seem to make this distinction for 4G devices.

They might as well give it a hefty price tag, it is for those especially interested anyway, not for the mass market.

This will surely be for those photo taking enthusiasts seeing how it's running Symbian. Not sure who still wants that garbage, so it's going to be a tough sell for everyone else with all of the other great options on the market.

You can just get a good DSLR, which is much better, for the same price. The camera that Phonearena compared this to isnt as DSLR, its just a standard digital camera. This phone replaces the standard digital camera, but not a DSLR, not even close.
