Nokia E63 available for pre-order from Amazon; no thanks

Amazon, please. What do you take us for? The internet mega-retailer known for eBay-like prices and far fewer eBay-like scams has apparently blown a fuse as it has just made the Nokia E63 available for pre-order for a mind-boggling $500. Huh? So let’s get this straight – we can order the E63 in Ultramarine Blue for $499.99 or we can order the more capable, sexier E71 NAM for $379.99 from the very same site? Hmm, let’s think about this. Plastic vs. metal, EDGE vs. 3.5G, No GPS vs. integrated GPS, 2 megapixel camera vs. 3.2 megapixel camera, no warranty vs. warranty, tiny unusable spacebar and no dedicated power or volume buttons for an extra $120. Thanks but no thanks.

Thanks, William!

    I thought it would be free on contract from AT&T. That price is terrible. I paid 280$ for my E71 and 340$ for a family member.

    Just Email Amazon. They did that with a few Onkyo receivers a while back. They had the better unit at a lower price than the crappier unit. I was buying it for my bedroom and didn’t want to get anything expensive – so I E-mailed amazon and explained the entire situation. Not even a day later I had a reply, a $50 gift certificate and they dropped the price on the lesser unit to $150 less than the big one.

    I used to have a few problem with Amazon, mostly around shipping and 1 textbook. I ordered a calc 4 text for a college class and they suddenly canceled my order and I found the book re listed for $100 more. I called them out on it, and they did nothing. Ended up making a BBB case and was contacted and told to call the washington state DA. I never got my book from them, but the DA’s office said they got a lot of complaints about that and I heard a few years later they had their PeePee slapped for doing it. But after that, I never had a problem.

    Need an advice here. I’m debating whether to wait for the BB 8900 or get the e71. I come from a WinMo and G1 and know very little about RIM and Symbian. Anyone?

    I bought two. It’s BLUE!

    @ cubs
    I would buy an E71 over the BB. S60 (symbian) has many more applications and is versatile. Specs wise, the E71 blows the 8900 out of the water…better camera, better battery life, stainless steel used instead of plastic, E71 is thinner than the 8900. Plus, that trackball on the 8900 sucks!!!
