According to the German O2 website, HTC 7 Pro will launch right next month. Meanwhile Amazon is already offering the next Symbian^3 device on pre-order. Nokia Е7 is priced there at the hefty $680.

O2 Germany already has a teaser page for the HTC 7 Pro, which states the smartphone will hit the network in January. There is no price mentioned, but we guess it will be available on the carrier's standard deals with a two-year contract.

The next news comes straight from the US-based Amazon, which is offering the Symbian^3-running Nokia E7 on pre-order. The price is nearly insane - $680. Bear in mind that the European price is usually 20-30% higher, ouch!. For comparison, the Nokia N8 currently runs at about $470.

Our only hope is that this price is not accurate and will be adjusted sometime near the official Nokia E7 launch next year.
