Phil Carson Phil Carson reported today that Nokia Corp.’s clamshell-style N75 device, announced last September, has finally arrived at AT&T Mobility’s online store for $200 with a two-year contract—at least it was briefly last week, before the carrier removed the offer, due to the product not arriving in its distribution center.

HOWEVER ….

Nokia said yesterday that the phone’s arrival at AT&T Mobility is “imminent.” Nokia initially had set its release for the fourth quarter of last year.

The deal between the world’s top handset vendor and the United States’ largest carrier gives Nokia a boost in its channel- and brand-building efforts by addressing the U.S. market with a high-end, 3G device. That is particularly important after its already minimal presence in the U.S. market dropped precipitously between the last quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007.

For AT&T, the N75 represents another device at the high-end of its own portfolio, months before Apple Inc.’s iPhone is set to arrive on its shelves.
