The Nokia E7 is finally available for pre-order in the UK - and is due to ship early next month.
The business-class high-end Symbian smartphone, which has a four-inch touchscreen that slides up to reveal a full Qwerty keyboard, was announced last year at the Nokia World expo. It started shipping to "select markets" in February - albeit not to the UK.
Nokia has now confirmed it is taking UK orders via the Nokia online shop and via its retail stores, with a shipping date of "early April". The RRP is £469 for pay-as-you-go or £499 for a SIM-free handset.
Nokia said the E7 will also be available from The Carphone Warehouse, Phones 4u, 3, O2 and Vodafone from April onwards.
