Today, Nokia announced that it will sell the Symbian OS phone, famous for its jaw-dropping 41-megapixel camera, via Amazon to U.S. customers. It'll cost you $699.99 for the unlocked handset, in addition to the cost of a SIM card and AT&T plan. You can technically use the handset on T-Mobile's network as well, but it'll top out at 2G speeds.
Nokia gave no timeline on its blog post, but you can sign up for alerts.
A hulking sensor is responsible for the smartphone camera's impressive megapixel muscle. CNET describes just how the clever camera works here.
