Dang Nokia… is it so impossible to put a somewhat recessed track ball in there that you can also press down to click- and surrounding it with the existing dpad?
Web browsing with a d pad sucks. Also with salling clicker… (got it for my N95-3) using yor phone as a wireless mouse for presentations is lame with the d-pad- you look like a novice manipulating a cursor with a d pad on a presentation screen.

Here’s your keyboard answer- a fold down keyboard flap (one that then after unfolding slides into a slot and locks for texting) combo lens protector for the N95 that has a qwerty keyboard on it. keys can also be camera shortcuts.

Or a touch pad on the lens side of the n95 so you can manipulate the cursor from the back side might be nice there is all this unused realestate there anyhow. Double press a key to activate the touch pad.

The problem with the above phone is that its looks too big – wide & long.
The trend now is short and sweet.
Shiny black is also in, dudes.

It better have the 352 x 416 res as my N80. 240 x 320 just does not cut it

Specifications sounds great but there must be much better RAM compared to E61i before Nokia got my order

Boy Genius, do you happen to know if the new N-series Nokia with the qwerty keyboard will have a Xenon flash like the N82 or an LED flash. Hopefully the former. Thanks.

its a pretty good phone….but i doubt RIM should worry about nokia cause nokia comes out with all types of smart phones and not really get to far….anyone agree’s with me?

@Commenters – Sloooooow down guys. We just published a clarification post. Read it. It also includes some additional [exciting] details that were brought to our attention. We included a pic that should spell it out better for you guys as well.

The pic in this post is simply intended to show form factor. At no point did anyone claim that it was an image of the upcoming Nseries device. The old pic was changed because the form factor, as described by our sources, is closer to that of the E71 as opposed to the E61i which was the first pic we posted. Black, slim, QWERTY; that’s what we know.

There are no available live pics or mock ups of this device – yet. When there are, you know where you can come to see them…

And the old picture wasn’t an Eseries? Oh, ok.

Wow! Since you changed the picture, it is so much better looking. I would definitley trade my iPhone for one of these babies! (Of course I know this will cost a whole lot more, though.) I want a phone with a great camera and video features, a qwerty keyboard, wifi, gps, full web broswer. This looks like the best phone ever!

why did you change your picture without saying you did so in your post? it obviously says EXX on top, not an Nseries.

what you had before was a limited edition E61i.

Not bad imo, looks alot like a 88xx though. But if all the specs are right its pretty good model.
Not the best looking but better than most.

Have you got your glasses on zach? It quite clearly says E. This isn’t an Nseries device…

Nops, thats defintely E71. You can even spot a EXX sign and the typical E-Series extrabuttons

Yeeehaaaaa!! I’ve been dreaming of something like that ever since I saw the first pics of the E51.

ERRRRR — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 11:13:27 +0000

IT”S Eseries indeeed!!!!!!!

I don’t know why you miss interpret it as a member of Nseries!

scrungew00t, ERR!! It’s obviously not a “special edition of E61i”. What have you been smoking?

Looks fantastic!

@ The Boy Genius

Look at 3 symbols label just above the top right corner of the screen. The first letter is ‘E’, isn’t it? And design – it looks just like widened and “qwerty’ed” Nokia E51. Sure, it’s E71 mentioned above.

I was just hoping for an N82 NAM. Not sure I even like the QWERTY in this form factor.

If it’s got N95-3 or N95 8GB guts and a qwerty keyboard, sign me up.

I wanted E61-like S60 phone as E61 died, I don’t really need cam on this one (I have N73 and K790a already), but I want to have full US 3G support (including AWS), and killer reception (E61 reception is bad)
maybe N78?

how about higher capacity batterys i have never been so angry when i got an n75 and only had a 750mah battery. maybe i have not looked around enough if a higher capacity one does exist. there are rumors of a oem size 2000mah one ( damn them all to hell ) in stewy voice

Wow, I’ve been on about wanting this for a while. Providing the build quality is better than current N-Series devices I’m sooo there on this one…

By: Viipottaja

Viipottaja — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 21:26:57 +0000

You guys should also have a look at the Mobile-review.com rumor section. There are rampant rumors (from reliable sources of course ;D) on a E61i follow up, likely to be called E71, which sounds an awful lot like this one, excepet for the camera which is rumored to be “only” 3.2mp. Hmmm.. two different devices, or just one, that they have not yet decided the series for (E vs N)?

*his is going to perfect as long as that spec sheet includes WiFi. Even if it doesn’t, I’m sold on this. If they call it an N61i and it lives up to that name, mine’s already on pre-order.
