T-Mobile Nokia Astound (C7) gets official, arrives on April 6 for $79.99, pre-orders start tomorrow

Exactly as anticipated by leaked information a few days ago, the Nokia C7 is headed to T-Mobile. In fact, the official acknowledgement by both the carrier and Nokia has been made, complete with press shots and news release. T-Mobile will sell the Nokia C7 rebranded as the T-Mobile Nokia Astound. 99 (after a $50 mail-in rebate). To get the phone at that price, you'll need to sign a new two-year contract with T-Mobile. Pre-orders for the Astound start tomorrow. If you don't mind Symbian, which, even in its latest incarnation that Nokia now likes to call ‘the new Symbian', but was previously known as Symbian^3, can be a bit hard to get used to for novice users, then the Astound delivers an astounding (excuse the pun) level of specs for the price.
