Nokia 6682 For Sale Now - Direct to Consumers

Posted on Thursday, July 21st, 2005 4:42 PM

Wow, this is pretty great! Sixty Phones has the scoop that Nokia is now selling the 6682 direct to consumers via their Nokia USA website, no carrier contract needed. Admittedly, $599 is a bit steep, especially since I paid only $520 on eBay for my 6680 3G model with two cameras, but still. For the American market this is a pretty huge step.

I wonder what comes on the "white label" version? I've only gotten my phones via grey markets or carriers... Buying a phone directly from Nokia would be a new thing for me.
