Nokia C7 rumored for T-Mobile launch under Astound moniker, to cost $80 on April 6th

If you've been listening to the Engadget Mobile podcast lately, you'll know that we don't much like this trend of using verbs as phone names, but T-Mobile clearly hasn't gotten the message, as one of its upcoming handsets is rumored to be called the Astound. What exactly this rebadged Nokia C7 is supposed to astound us with, we're not really sure. We've seen its Clear Black Display already, which is very nice, but we've also seen the dead OS walking that is its Symbian installation. Still, for $80 on contract, it doesn't necessarily have to compete with the crème de la Gingerbread to be an appealing option. Look out for it early next month, waving the Magenta flag with pride.

Nokia E7 Available Via Amazon For $679

Amazon US is now offering the Nokia E7 for 679. However, as you can see on the picture, the device is temporarily out of stock which mean you have to wait for several weeks until you will be able to received the product on your door.

The device that sales by Amazon is not from the third party pricing but rather directly from an official American version of the phone with a full manufacturer warranty. Its quite a price for most of us but we are hoping that the price will eventually drop by the time the device was ship.
