 "Nokia 808 PureView not yet officially launched in India, pricing still unconfirmed")
While the net has been buzzing about the launch of Nokia’s PureView 808 mobile, it appears that the information regarding the launch and price is inaccurate.
According to Nokia, the company has neither launched the device officially into the Indian market nor have they announced a price tag for it. The handset has the mobile community eagerly waiting thanks to its latest advancements in mobile phone camera technology.
The price has also been a cause of some concern igniting rumours across the web community with unconfirmed numbers. Initially the 808 was touted to be priced at Rs. 29,999 after which the information was refuted and a pre-order price of Rs. 32,000 was announced. Nokia has informed us that the handset will be announced soon and will also be available for sale both online and in stores soon after. An official date was not mentioned but we’re estimating that the 808 will be announced for the Indian audience sometime in the first half of June.
