Nokia Prepping New E Series Smartphones


Posted by Marin Perez, Sep 19, 2008 03:45 PM

It looks like the Internet spies have done it again, as two new E Series smartphones from Nokia have been leaked. Not much is known about these handsets, as Nokia's keeping mum for now, but one of them will feature a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.


Major props to Symbian Freak for finding this, and the site said the E75 should combine the robust features that the company's smartphones are known for with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

While this may lead to a thicker form factor, devices like the HTC Touch Pro show a slide-out can be done with style. Heck, I still find my Helio Ocean extremely useful.

The E72 doesn't look much different from the E71, but that's not a bad thing because the E71 is the sleekest, prettiest QWERTY-sporting phone that's available today. I'm sure Nokia will bump up the camera, and pack in a few more features when it officially announces these.

Here's a leaked demo video of the slide-out goodness:
