For the Symbian^3 faithful if there are still any, who have been waiting for the latest smartphone from the Nokia camp, the Nokia E7 to release, your wait may soon be at an end as word is the Nokia E7 will be released at the end of next month.

According to an article over on NokNok by Mikey Bee, online retailer Play.com has posted that the Nokia E7 is due release on the 21st of March and will be available as an unlocked SIM free smartphone in silver.

Price wise, the Nokia E7 from Play will command a price tag of £489.99 inclusive of VAT which is a £10 saving on the recommended retail price of £499.99 and of course purchasers get free delivery.

Having said that, Nokia still hasn’t announced any official release date for the Nokia E7 so unless Play has some insider info they could be wrong, but I guess there’s no harm in pre-ordering in the hope that you are one of the first to snag the handset.

For those that may have forgotten the Nokia E7 is a Syymbian^3 smartphone that sports a slide out QWERTY keyboard, 4 in AMOLED display with scratch resistant glass, 8 megapixel camera, 680 MHz processor, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, FM radioand 16GB internal memory.
