For the Nokia faithful out there that have been eagerly awaiting Nokia to get all official with the Nokia E7 smartphone, Nokia has now placed their official stamp on the smartphone by making the Nokia E7 available for pre-order.

According to an article over on Pocket-lint, Nokia has opened up pre-orders for the Symbian^3 slider, which apparently will be shipping some time in April and have posted some pricing info on the device as well.

According to the Nokia pre-order page the Nokia E7 will be a free handset on a 2-year agreement for £35 per month on Vodafone and includes 600 anytime minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of data with a delivery time of up to 14 days.

Or if you prefer the Nokia E7 on Pay As You Go the device will set you back £469 on T-Mobile, or of course you can opt to purchase the Nokia E7 without commitment for a price of £499.00 with a 2-year warranty.

Spec wise the Nokia E7 offers a 4-inch 16:9 nHD AMOLED touch screen, full side out QWERTY keyboard, 16GB internal memory, Bluetooth 3.0, HDMI, integrated GPS, Ovi Maps navigation, 8 megapixel camera with duel-LED flash and 720p video, and WiFi.
