AT&T E71x devices arrive at local stores, available now online
The Nokia E71x is now present at some AT&T stores and may be available for purchase as we believed starting tomorrow, 4 May. I also just went to the AT&T online store and was able to add the Nokia E71x to my shopping cart. It is priced at $299.99 with a $150 online discount and a $50 mail-in rebate for a total of $99.99. I may swing by the AT&T store to see what I could pick one up for since I am an existing customer with about a year and a half left on my contract after buying the HTC Fuze last Fall. I have not seen what the price will be for existing customers, but sure hope I could get it less than $300.
The data plan pricing for the E71x is the standard PDA Personal plan for $30/month. They also have the PDA Personal Bundle (includes unlimited data and unlimited text messaging) for $50/month and the PDA Personal with tethering for $60/month. I pay $30/month now with my HTC Fuze plan that also works on the iPhone 3G. The tethering plan is the only one that specifically states there is a 5GB limit, but I am pretty sure all AT&T data plans have this limit in the fine print.
Other service options with the E71x include phone insurance ($4.99/month), roadside assistance ($2.99/month), AT&T Navigator ($9.99/month), and video share options for $9.99 and $4.99/month. I personally want to try out the AT&T Navigator option that is the TeleNav software on the S60 platform. This is the first S60 client I have seen from TeleNav and their client on the T-Mobile G1 absolutely rocks!
Was anyone able to pick one of these E71x units up this weekend at their local store?

Have been looking to get one for ages…called couple of stores around my place in central NJ but none of them have it in stock yet
Any navigation program that wants $10 or more per month is way too much, even for a dedicated unit that has a large screen. We can all pick up a nice Garmin for 150 and actually drive with it..
I’d rather pick up the Garmin S60 software for one lump sum. I just can’t find any recent or good reviews on it.. Matt, would you be up for doing one?
