Looks like Amazon has my favorite Symbian phone of the year, the Innov8, for $799 unlocked. Expensive? Hell yes, but the camera on this thing is awesome and it’s a great world phone.
There are only three in stock right now and you can get it used for about $649 it looks like, so shop around. I’m just glad that we’re finally getting the thing.
* 3G EURO Standard, Quad Band 850/900/1800/1900
* 8+ Megapixel Camera, A2DP, Bluetooth, Calendar, Camera, Candy Bar Form, Edge, Email Client, FM Radio, GPS / Location, High-Speed Data GPRS, Megapixel Camera, Memory Card Slot, MP3, Smartphone, Speaker Phone, Video Capture, Video Clip, Voice Dialing, Wi-Fi

I am extremely pleased with this phone (it makes phone calls too?!). For me, the only thing I wish it had was US 3G capabilities. Again, I don’t live in an area with 3G access, but it would be nice if an investment of this stature warranted more longevity in my usage of it. EDGE data speeds are very, very acceptable for me though. Data-intensive web pages still load in a snap, and there is always the option of employing the WiFi chip for faster speeds, if applicable.

The NAM 3G version (with 850Mhz HSPA) just received FCC approval, too. Hopefully it’ll be available soon.
