No surprises here: not only did we know that Nokia was bringing the 3.5-inch, Symbian^3-powered C7 to T-Mobile as the Astound (codename: Tiger), but we’ve seen the unbranded C7 numerous times before — and even some small press shots of a branded unit courtesy of TmoNews. Still, there’s something reassuringly concrete about high-quality press renders; they usually solidify the fact that the device in question is both real and carrier-bound (save for the Nokia X7 Journey for AT&T and T-Mobile Nuron 2, which got axed from their respective operators’ lineups only weeks prior to scheduled releases).

TmoNews tells us to expect an official announcement at next week’s CTIA trade show, along with an April 6th release and $80 price point.
