The Nokia N81 has been shipped globally right now, priced at: pre-tax, pre-subsidy €360 / $515 for the 2GB microSD model or €430 / $615 for the 8GB on-board flash device. As the refurbished N-Gage platform is not available yet at the moment, the N81 is preloaded with three demo games and they are the FIFA 07, Asphalt 3: Street Rules, and Space Impact Light. Those games will be available for free download-and-preview over HSDPA when the service is available in later 2007. The Nokia N81 is a quad-band GSM phone that only supports 2100 MHz WCDMA which will limit its effective use in North America.
