As with many high end smartphones/cellphones, coupled with their widespread nonacceptance from carriers, lack of local availability, as well as their sky high price tag, adoption of said units is often fairly low. High end Nokia handsets often to ever get to see the light of day in the U.S. for reasons unknown. However, Nokia, in an effort to desperately make some more money and stop their falling market share is reaching deeper into their pockets to make sure you don’t make a “mistake” and pass on their devices. You may recall that besides being Nokia’s own “Jesus phone” if you will, it also came with an ungodly price tag that just barely kissed the $700 mark. However Nokia is feeling your pain and is trying to help you out. In order to get their devices in to your hands they are now taking off an “instant discount” that takes a surprising $174.75 off of the U.S. bound N97′s price tag. Further sweetening the deal, if you enter CARTP409N at check out time, you can take part in legalized theft and have your very own N97 for a cheap (high end Nokia standards) $454.35. Add it up folks, that’s basically a $250 sale. Not to be outdone, they go ahead and add a cherry to seal the deal by giving you a BH-703 Bluetooth headset ($89.95) for free.99. If this is all the best news you’ve heard all year, then take a seat and start waiting because you have until July of ’09 until you can wrap your clammy little hands around this hot, yet “affordable” beast. Happy Waiting.
