14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia is continuously preparing new handsets to throw on the market and, according to some recently leaked specifications, Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 will be among the future phones released by the Finnish company. Nokia's E series family of phones, tailored mainly for business use, will soon add these two new devices, succeeding the E61i and E65 models.
Apparently, Nokia E71 will come with a design similar to the one of E61i and, of course, as the previous business phone, the new handset packs a full QWERTY keypad too. A picture of E71 exists, showing how the phone will look like, but it's just a Photoshop-made image so we should assume that it might not be that accurate in presenting the reality. The size of Nokia E61i is a detail not really appreciated by users, therefore E71 will come in a smaller case, being only 57 millimeters wide and having 10 millimeters in thickness (4 millimeters less than E61i). Nokia E71 will bring features like HSPDA, GPS, WiFi and a 3.2 Megapixel camera.
Coming after the elegant E65 model, Nokia E66 will bring about the same features: 3.2 Megapixel camera, GPS and HSPDA, and, unfortunately, there are no clear details about the way the phone looks like.
We hope the new E series phones will come with big internal memories and also with more powerful processors. Both the E61i and E65 models have processors running at 220 MHz, which proved to be enough to assure them a good functionality, but the more advanced features of Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 phones will surely need more power.
Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 will be available in the second quarter of 2008, or at least that's what the rumors say. Their prices are unknown until now, but at least 500 USD for each handset is expected.
