Being the only carrier of the Lumia 900, AT&T has been in the lead of mobile competition. The same story will most likely repeat in Canada. After the device was launched in the US, Rogers started offering the phone in Canada. At this moment Rogers sells the Lumia 900 online only. The price for the handset is quite affordable, $99.99...

Nokia’s Q2 2011 results were really terrible. Nokia lost about $692 million, IDC’s reports on Nokia weren’t satisfying as well… Not to mention the fact that Nokia was always popular in Europe, but now it’s giving way to iOS and Android-based smartphones everywhere, including the UK.

Why does this happen? Many experts express different opinions, and unwiredview.com is sure that the reason of Nokia’s crash is the fact that Nokia’s Symbian-based smartphones are more expensive than Android smartphones with similar features.

They provided this Infographic to prove their words. The prices were taken from Amazon.de.

As we can see from the pic above, the HTC Desire (€319), the LG Optimus 2X (€333) and the Samsung Galaxy SL (€291) are in the same category as the Nokia N8, but Nokia’s smartphone is much more expensive than the others – it costs €345.

The next category includes the HTC Wildfire S (€236), the Motorola Defy (€243), the Samsung Galaxy Ace (€219) and the Nokia C7 (€256), and again Nokia’s device costs €13 more than the Defy and €37 more than the Galaxy Ace.

In the next category of cheaper smartphones including the LG Optimus One, the HTC Wildfire, the Samsung Galaxy 3 and the Nokia C6-01, Nokia’s Symbian-based smartphone is again more expensive than the Android smartphones of other manufacturers.

In the category of smartphones with slide-out keyboards the Nokia E7 (€367) costs €88 more than the Motorola Milestone (€279) and €18 more than the HTC Desire Z (€349).

The last category includes the so-called “musical smartphones” like the Sony-Ericcson Xperia Arc (€375), the HTC Desire HD (€390), the Samsung Galaxy S (€319) and the Nokia X7 (€379). Only in this category HTC’s device is the most expensive one, but the price difference between the Nokia X7 and the Samsung Galaxy S (which, by the way, looks much better, IMHO) is still tangible.

So Nokia’s Symbian smartphones are more expensive than most of Android smartphones, so no wonder most of us prefer to buy devices based on Google’s OS (especially when we remember that everyone says that Android is cool and Symbian is dying). So if Nokia wants to stay alive and to reconquer its lost market shares, switching to Windows Phone isn’t enough, they should also review their pricing policies.

Two days ago the UK major reseller announced Nokia E7’s price, though it will be available only on January 10th. We know that this phone isn’t going be a cheap one, and you have to pay £585 (inc. VAT) buying through Expansys, which is nearly £250 more than the cheapest Nokia N8 price – £330.

At Nokia World 2010 the company called this model “mobile office” because of its great features. The Nokia E7 is one of the most awaited smartphones of 2010, and it’s equipped with several amazing features such as 12 Mp camera, 4 inches touchscreen, full QWERTY keyboard, its memory can be expanded up to 32GB and it is covered with anodised aluminium. That’s true, this model is more attractive with its features than Nokia N8, but the price wouldn’t be so high.

Some rumors say that Nokia E7 will be available in the fourth quarter of this year, but Expansys announced it will be set to deliver in January 2011. Nokia has no control on reseller pricing, but the smartphone will be available via other resellers – including Nokia Online, and we hope the device will be cheaper.

I wonder how much you are willing to pay for the Nokia E7, whether the offered price is high for you or not.

The Italian branch Nokia online store is now accepting pre-orders of the flagship smartphone Nokia N8. It is curious that the device is priced at EUR469, whereas previously as a recommended value of Nokia some were naming EUR370. The Italian site claims that the device will be available in September.

Recall, Nokia N8 has a capacitive 3,5 “AMOLED-display with a resolution 640 X 360 pixels and features multi-touch, a processor with a frequency of 680 MHz, a 12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, Xenon flash and 20 X digital zoom.

The smartphone also comes with 256 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM, 16 GB flash drive, MicroSD slot that supports memory cards with up to 32 GB, 3.5-mm audio jack, HDMI port, FM-tuner, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth , GPS, accelerometer, light sensor and proximity.

Nokia holds special hopes with N8 and expects that it will strengthen the position of the corporation on the smartphone market.

As we already know the Indian market got the new smartphone Nokia C5.

The gadget has repeatedly appeared in our posts, so that you are most likely familiar with its specs. But just in case we recall that Nokia C5 is based on Symbian S60 3rd edition FP2 and optimized for use in social networks. For this purpose device has preloaded clients to Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, hi5 and Friendster.

Nokia C5 has 2.2-inch QVGA-display, support for HSDPA, 3,5-mm audio jack, Bluetooth, 3,2 megapixel camera, GPS and Ovi Maps 3.0 with free navigation.

And finally let’s get to the main point of the post- the price of the device. According to the data the unlocked version of the Nokia C5 can be purchased on the Indian market for $ 175.
