V interesting, i hope they price it right in India. But they have not mentioned the screen size only the external dimensions of the piece After using E6 for some days I like it. Belle is supposed to be an improvement I was pinning my hopes on 700 but it seems small

do those 3.2" really need a 1Ghz processor? or in more technical terms, will it make a difference for Symbian Belle to run on a 600Mhz processor than a 1Ghz processor? i am sure Nokia is going to brag about that fast processor. and in the end give a bad price tag.

If they are foolish to price it high then they will get screwed. But if you look at the specs the batteries used are not v large capacity, so it will depend on the power consumption, they say its economical in power consumption. All are to be released in Q3 does it mean all of them will come out in the next 30+ days?? Its almost end August now.

I don't think most Nokia users will mind if Symbian starts to function like Andriod but is called XYZ by Nokia Of course the price too has to be right.

Not bad pricing IMHO. If that was a conversion of euros, then expect slighly cheaper pricing here.

Agree 100% They would have to be nuts to price it this way. I had seen on some other site the 600 would be priced <10k I hope better sense prevails as it is E6 was price at 17100-17200 in Mumbai, Now I see it priced at 15k+ on Flipkart.

 

[Extreme Gamer]

The price WILL be cheaper here.

Even Nokia N8 was more expensive in Europe than India. Current pricing according to Wikipedia is 370 euros (~Rs. 24500) and INR 21000. Rs. 3500 price difference

I don't know about others but if nokia doesn't come up with a android model soon,..I'm not gonna buy another smart phone from nokia again..
I like Nokia's build quality more than anything....but if they don't care to do something about the OS part they simply don't give me a choice
