Boy Genius Report had an interesting exclusive this weekend about a Bold and AT&T that’s not really all too interesting. However, what *was* interesting in the leaked email is the line about the Nokia 6650 coming to AT&T on November 4th, priced at $70 after a mail-in rebate and 2-year contract.
If you don’t already know, the Nokia 6650 is a pretty decent phone, with a whopping 1500mAh battery (the same that’s used in the E71, E90, and N810), built-in GPS, and S60v3 Feature Pack 2. U.S. 3G is also included, obviously, and the outer display has little touch-sensitive controls for your music and whatnot. Hard to beat a deal like that, really. I know the Guru household will be renewing our AT&T contracts for a pair of them, for sure.
I’m also hoping that this phone would be the kick-start of a better relationship with AT&T and Nokia, for future phones. If AT&T can keep its grubby mitts out of the firmware (which is yet to be seen on this phone), then the price point is great to really appeal to consumers and get them introduced to the wonders of S60.
