Pre-order Nokia 808 Pureview online for Rs 32,000

After a slew of speculation that the Nokia 808 Pureview hone would be available in India for Rs 29,000 it now turns out that it will cost Rs 32,000. Although Nokia has not confirmed that this is the price at which it will be selling its hotly anticipated device, online retail website "buytheprice.com" has started taking pre-orders for the phone for Rs 32,000 (Rs 33,999 being the MRP).

Earlier Nokia rubbished reports that the phone would be sold at Rs 29,000. "We outsource certain chores, and for that we have to give price related information. So, in such cases, we furnish a dummy price, and not the actual (true) price. In this case also (the one mentioned in the source code), Rs 29,999 is a dummy price and the 808 Pureview will not be available for this price," a spokesman for Nokia said.
