Nokia E63

 

Nokia has announced the latest addition to its Eseries family, the E63. Featuring a design that is similar to that of the popular E71, the E63 sports a 2 megapixel camera with LED flash in addition to a microSD card slot for extra storage. The QWERTY keyboard has been redesigned with a smaller space bar and extra character keys, as well.

The Nokia E63 is also the first smartphone in Nokia's Eseries product line to feature a standard 3.5mm audio port, allowing you to use your own headphones without needing an adapter.

For those keeping score, the things that the E63 loses in comparison to the more expensive E71 are: it is thicker, it lacks GPS and HSDPA data, the camera is 2 megapixel fixed focus, and the body is made of plastic instead of the E71's metal.

The Nokia E63 is expected to begin shipping within the next few weeks, priced at EUR199 (US$250) before taxes and subsidies, and is available in a red or blue color scheme.

Nokia and Verizon have just launched the Nokia 2605 Mirage clamshell cell phone, bringing its user-changeable Xpress-on covers for the simplest of customization options. The 2605 Mirage also features a VGA-resolution camera with a dedicated camera shutter button and several photo options.

The Nokia 2605 Mirage supports Verizon's VZ Navigator GPS navigation service, as well as the Chaperone Parent/Child tracking service. Bluetooth is also on board, for wireless handsfree headset use. The Nokia 2605 Mirage is available today on Verizon's website, priced at $49.99 after a 2-year commitment and $50 mail-in rebate.
