Well after launching its latest 8-megapixel smartphone camera elsewhere in the world, Nokia on Monday announced plans to sell the device in the U.S. The Nokia N86 will be available at Nokia stores as well as online. Its price tag: $558, well over twice as much as similar phones from Samsung and Sony Ericsson, when purchased along with a two-year agreement with a mobile carrier. The device is already shipping in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and China, but will it sell in a country where customers are used to low device prices and longterm service commitments?
