Dell Selling Unlocked Nokia E63 for Under $200
I’ve been using a Nokia E63 on-and-off for the past few weeks now. My SIM card tends to gravitate back to my iPhone, but the E63 is a solid bit of hardware. IntoMobile caught sight of Dell selling this Symbian S60 handset for $198, which includes shipping. That’s a great unsubsidized price for a Nokia E-series QWERTY smartphone if you’re in the market.
Bear in mind that the E63 offers UMTS for data, which means your bandwidth speeds top out at 384Kbps; if you’re used to speedy EV-DO or HSDPA, you’ll miss it with the E63. For under $200, however, you’re still getting a fairly capable device.

I’m having so much fun with location-based services on my N95 that I don’t think I could use a phone like the E63 without GPS.
I’m waiting to see if AT&T lets the E71x live up to its potential, or if they’ll cripple it like they did the E62.
I’m loving the price. Too bad T-Mobile 3G isn’t supported. I suppose I will hang on to the G1 a little longer.
Too bad that the low price is not there anymore.

I asked the chat center and I was told the price has changed today and I should have purchased yesterday.
That’s a shame; the screen-cap I took above was done this morning so the price changed at some point during the day.
