What’s a Nokia Liam, you say? It’s about to replace the Nokia E61i in a smaller and more stylish design! Check it: quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, UMTS/HSDPA (the actual bands are not specified so we won’t count on USA 3G at first), a 3.2 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a 320×320 QVGA 2.36" display, obviously a full QWERTY ‘board, integrated GPS, and a front-facing camera for video calling. So far we’ve got it pegged for a Q2 ‘08 release date, but you can bet your bottom dollar we’ll be hearing more about this real soon. Full slide, after the jump!

The cricketer you’re thinking of is Mudhsuden (Monty) Panesar. I presume Bhupinder is a (now former) employee of Phones 4 u or something similar.

Phone looks cool…. that extra piece at the bottom kinda makes it too big. I imagine this phone will rock when they fix the form factor. Similar to the change from E61 to E61i.

All Good but come on a QVGA Display, that’s no good… Perhaps a VGA in 2.8″ format would have been nice. It looks ugly compared to E61i

We can only hope that the “Liam” allows firmware updates over the air (FOTA) and does not require PC software to install future firmware updates as is presently the case.
The E61i, with minor exceptions and the above observation, is still the ideal phone for my daily use. It will be interesting to read in the forthcoming months what the price of progress may compromise in an already competent handset. Screen size appears to be an early loss.
