Nokia now shipping N81 handheld in Europe
Nokia shot out a press release this morning on the new Nokia N81 handset: it's now available and shipping. You've got your choice with and without the 8 GB of internal memory: with it, expect to pay 430 Euros. Losing the 8 GB capacity but adding a microSD card slot will save you 70 Euros for a price of 360 Euros. Note: both prices are prior to any subsidies or taxes.
What's all this talk of Euros for the non-European readers? Well, I just hit up the Nokia USA site and found the N81... with a "Coming Soon" label. With the multimedia functions, N-Gage support later this year, and solid S60 experience, soon can't come soon enough for some!
And, with Euros costing about $1.41 these days, that means that puppy costs over $600. Ouch!
