The Nokia N900 is still on a pre-order basis, but that’s apparently not an issue with Amazon as they’ve further lowered its price to just $479.99. This price is inclusive of a $50 mail-in rebate which previously stood at $560. We’re not sure why they decided to drop the price of the Nokia N900 by [...]

What you’re looking at folks is the Sony Ericsson Kurara, the company’s second Symbian powered handset following the Satio. It doesn’t come with a 12-megapixel camera but surely won’t disappoint with its 8.1-megapixel camera, 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen, and 720p video recording and playback.
