Over the recent months, I've received a fair share of e-mails asking the same question: Will a U.S. carrier ever pick up the Nokia E71? Well, it looks like some of your wishes may come true.

According to Engadget Mobile, AT&T might be in line to add the Symbian smartphone to its lineup. While just a rumor at this point, the idea isn't too hard to believe since the carrier did offer the Nokia E61i for a while. By all accounts, the Nokia E72 will offer all the goodies of the E71, including HSDPA support and even add Feature Pack 2.

You can pick up the Nokia E71 now as an unlocked phone from Nokia USA and other online retailers, but you'll also be looking at a hefty price tag of around $500. Ouch. Let's hope these rumors turn out to be true. For more information on the smartphone, please read our full review of the Nokia E71.

I just ordered this phone this week from my carrier. I use Centennial Wireless and in the past I have thought the downside to Centennial is that they as a small carrier in the midwest do not have the selection of handsets that larger carriers to.
Well, it looks like they were the first US carrier to have the e71 and mine is on the way. I tried it out at the local Centennial Wireless store and it is just great.
Oh, and the new contract price was quoted to me at $189. To bad I was not up for a new phone so I had to pay $368.
