Nokia E75 and E72 Leaked, QWERTY All the Way

For those who don't find Nokia's latest E71 and E66 handsets good enough but still need a Symbian S60 3rd Edition smartphone, we've got hot news: the Finnish manufacturer is secretly working on two brand new Eseries smartphones, called Nokia E72 and Nokia E75. Even more, the devices seem to be close to an official presentation, as a video with them has recently appeared on the Web.

 

The video in question is made by Nokia itself, with the purpose of promoting the handsets, and it probably came out by mistake, sooner than it should have.

 

Both the Nokia E71 and E66 are far from being "old products," since they're only available as of this summer, so the upcoming arrival of E72 and E75 can be seen as a big surprise. While only one of the two handsets already on the market is equipped with a QWERTY keyboard (the E71, of course), the new and unannounced yet Eseries smartphones will both bring this type of text-friendly keypad.
 

The E72 doesn't seem too different from the already available E71, so we suppose it won't be a release that can generate a hype. The big novelty, however, is Nokia E75 – the smartphone has an alphanumeric keypad as well as a QWERTY one that slides out horizontally, being the first Nokia to come with this form factor.

Apart from their looks and the obvious business-centered features, there are no other details regarding the new Eseries smartphones. No release date, no prices, no info about photo cameras, internal memory or anything else. But in case you are wondering, neither of the two smartphones have a touchscreen display, so we might call them old-fashioned devices.

 

Anyway, the video with Nokia E72 and Nokia E75 is just below. Watch it while it's still online because, seeing as how Nokia might not like this leak, it could disappear at any moment.

Not good a design. The numeric pad wastes precious screen real estate. Here's what should happen. Take the E66. Make it slide sideways instead of the vertical slide. Change the keyboard to full QWERTY. Why? Screen real estate.
