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.
