Nokia added two new members to its ESeries family of devices – E55 and the “one we knew is coming” – E75. Specs wise we’re talking about very similar (i.e. same) device, which pride themselves with 3.2 megapixel camera, built-in GPS receiver, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, 2.4-inch screen, and Symbian S60 3rd Edition Feature pack 2.
The only difference is in the keyboard.

More specifically, the Nokia E55 measures 116.5x49x9.9 mm and has a weight of 95 grams. On the other hand, the E75 has dimensions of 111.8x501x14.4 mm and weighs 139 grams.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
