Nokia to Launch № 8, E7 Smartphones in September
A week before its Nokia World 2010 event, Nokia has let loose with information about its next generation of smartphones, indicating news that the much-anticipated № 8 will launch at the end of September.
According to Engadget, based on an article that ran in the Finnish newspaper Kauppalehti, the Nokia № 8 will be available by Sept. 30. A machine translation of the Kauppalehti article shows that Tapani Kaskinen, a senior communications manager at Nokia, told the Finnish paper that № 8 «advance orders begin shipping 30 September.”
The phone enthusiast blog E’s Phone Blog reported, «Those of you who have ordered the Nokia № 8 directly from Nokia should receive it on Tuesday, September 28th, 2010. The Nokia № 8 is the first phone to run on Symbian 3. Personally I have to say that I’m pretty impressed about this device, and I think that it will sell quite good. For instance here in Finland, you’ll have to pay 499€ to get this thing and this is cheaper than what you’d have to pay for a competing device with roughly the same specs.»
