Nokia has announced two days ago a new Symbian Anna premium device. The price of this one will draw the attention as is made of 18-carat gold plating, a sapphire crystal and Scottish leather. Besides the expensive materials the phone has about the same hardware as other recently announced Nokia devices (like X7) as you can check below:

In terms of design the phone looks the same as C7. As Nokia mentions, this is clearly not made for common users but for someone who does not want to have a phone that looks like others. The price will be around 800 Euros - I was expecting to be higher given all the expensive materials. I am sure that will be bought by a lot of business people from Europe, Middle East, Russia, China in Q3 2011.
