Nokia USA blowing out pricing tonight, E75 getting redone in white?

There's a universal rule in the world of phonedom: they look good in white. It's just a scientifically proven fact. Consider, as an example, this prototype E75 spotted in an uncharacteristically pale shell at the New York flagship store's recent Eseries meetup -- a stark contrast from the bronzes, reds, and blacks you see hanging out on retail shelves around the world right now. He wouldn't commit to a release date, but it seems that the US' director of marketing for the Eseries range has said that "it's coming," so get your checkbooks lubed up.

In the meantime, though, you're not going to have to get the checkbooks too lubed up if you're in the market for Nokia gear, because the US online store is absolutely destroying pricing for three hours tonight from 9PM to midnight Central Time. Speaking of the E75, the best deal has to be on that bad boy: 50 percent off MSRP, which by our rough calculation should bring you well under $300 for one of the newest, neatest phones in the S60 stable.

Y engadget mobile has tons of false reporting???

its $50 off MSRP not 50%..

[Chris Posted Jun 20th 2009 3:13PM]

No, it's 50 percent. Any other "false reporting" I can clear up for you?

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 20th 2009 3:59PM]

I didn't see the 50% off either, just $50 rebate. Maybe I'm not looking right

Never mind, saw the link in BGR

I am sure Chris was referring to the Read link, which points to the nokiablog.

My friend gave me the head's up about this yesterday...right as my N97 was being delivered. Lord knows I don't need the E75 (I have an E71 as my back up) but how can I resist half off?

Crap, sorry about the double post. And uh, Panid...keep quite when grown folks are talking.

i don't think you "quiet" know how to spell...

Mmmhmm. My excuse is a typo. Yours is what? Illiteracy? Douchebaggery?

Why is this news not on engadget.com?

[Chris Posted Jun 20th 2009 4:42PM]

Got a problem with Engadget Mobile, do you?

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 20th 2009 4:56PM]

just think you're being biased.

few concerns:

1) Article not on main site
2) The sale news is coupled with other Nokia news
3) Not linked to the right website

Careful what you order, I am still waiting on an N-79 I ordered over a month ago. Its backordered according to Nokia with no idea of when they will get it in. Wonder if I could swap for that nice E-75 hmmmm

[Rara Posted Jun 20th 2009 10:11PM]

I've just bought my E75 at 50% off (for the doubters out there).
And if anyone wants an N97, let me know. I'm trying to return it but Nokia has yet to send my RA number (love their devices; hate their customer service).

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 21st 2009 1:07AM]

I tried to order a few phones tonight, and every single ccard i used got declined. wtf

time to pay your bills man ... just kidding. amex worked for me

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 21st 2009 5:08PM]

same here...

I haven't considered Nokia's phones high end since the N95 launched, but these new prices (for unlocked phones) are incredible. Six hundred dollars and up for any Nokia is completely ridiculous, but these prices are entirely reasonable.

also got the E75…”upgrading” from an N95 8GB. As much as I email from my phone, as well as text, facebook and twitter, a QWERTY keyboard was a dealbreaker…
