After much hoo-ing and haw-ing over the leaked blurry photos, user manual, and others, AT&T has finally admitted to launching the Nokia E71x. You’re familiar with this variant, which features that hot new black color scheme I spotted earlier, as well as S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 (now with more confirmation, direct from AT&T’s product page).
The E71x is set to be available in the coming weeks, priced at $99.99 after a 2-year commitment (and probably a mail-in rebate). It’s also confirmed on the product page that the E71x is classified as a smartphone, which means you can’t use a MEdiaNet data package, but must instead sign up for a PDAconnect plan. The only difference in the two is price – the PDAconnect does not give you any faster speeds or anything.

you should be able to continue using the MEdiaNet package with your unbranded E71.
My data plan is $15 unlimited. Didn’t understand why people pay more for PDA plan.

So its the $99 AT&T branded E71x, & data plan @ $30 USD for 24 months
versus an unbranded $319 E71 & $15 USD MediaNet data plan?
Seems simple enough to me.
Any news about the red color? When will it be available?
