Nokia E66 and E71 live and in the wild!

Following up on those rather low-quality spy shots of the upcoming Nokia business phones - the Nokia E66 and E71 - it looks like Espoo’s let their newest cats out of their bags. The Nokia E66 and Nokia E71 are set to take Nokia’s enterprise handset portfolio to new levels.
As expected, both business-oriented handsets rock 3.2 megapixel shooters and 128MB of memory. Thankfully, that chromed-out bezel that we saw in previous Nokia E66 and Nokia E71 photos has been muted with a more business-friendly black finish. Word has it that the slide mechanism on the Nokia E66 has a solid feel - indicating that Nokia took what it learned from the Nokia N95’s slide mechanism complaints and applied it to the Nokia E66 (not to mention the Nokia N96).
Now, we just wait for Nokia to get official with the Nokia E66 and Nokia E71. Hopefully, the wait won’t be too long.

Head on over to Engadget Mobile for the full gallery of Nokia E66 and E71 pictures.

E71 looks ugly to me. I’m an E61(love it!) user since 2 years and i want to upgrade, but if this is the new design…i will have to wait. The navigation key and the soft buttons seem as unconfortable as on all of the recent N/E series. Why can’t they stick to joystick and normal thick soft buttons? Not that thin lines of plastic? They just have to copy Blackberry’s design and use more aluminum and soft touch plastic.

Not a pair of bad looking phones. Too bad they’re most likely GSM phones.
