Nokia Astound Go Official

Folks over in Europe and other parts of the world are long familiar with the Nokia Astound, also known as the Nokia C7-00, but it is only now that the U.S. is getting the Symbian^3-powered handset. While it doesnt break any new ground with its specs, we were eager to take a look at it and check if there are new features hidden behind the affordable $79.99 price tag on T-Mobile.

The outside looks of the Astound are practically a copy of the ones on the Nokia C7, except for the T-Mobile logo on the front. This also means that the 3.5-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 360 x 640 remains unchanged.

In terms of applications, the most notable change is the addition of a YouTube client – unlike the C7, the Astound has a true application for watching YouTube videos and doesnt just redirect you to the mobile version of the website. The Astound also brings free turn-by-turn navigation with pre-loaded maps of the United States and Canada. All of this is powered by Ovi Maps in its latest version supporting traffic information.
