Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 official photos [Late coverage]

Before I forget, Nokia has also recently announced two very sexy and powerful business devices, the Nokia E66 and Nokia E71 (pictured). I've been closely following these two phones since the first rumors about them surfaced around the Internet, and am glad they've been finally launched. It's time Nokia showed Apple what a real smartphone can do. No word yet on when these phones will be coming to the Philippines, but I'm almost sure they will. I mean, the Philippines does have businessmen who need this, right?

Oh yeah, the specs:

Nokia E71: QWERTY keyboard Nokia, smaller by a third than the E61i. S60 FP2, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, USB 1.1 (!), 3.2 megapixel camera (with Autofocus and flash). Nokia E61i successor, obviously.

Nokia E66: Narrow-bodied Nokia with slide-out alpha-numeric keypad, and much of the same features as the Nokia E71. This is a successor to the E65.

Nokia N78 now available in the Philippines

I was windowshopping the other day and remembered that I'm going to buy a Nokia N82 this coming weekend, so I went on to SM San Lazaro's 3rd floor cellphone stores to see the phone I'm going to own soon for one more time. To my surprise, right beside the Nokia N82 was the Nokia N78 sitting nicely in black, and suddenly I felt like rethinking my shopping plan.


Will I or will I not buy the N82? And more importantly, should I get the N78 instead? Yesterday I scoured the web for the best N78 reviews I could find, and found that the N78 was a rather satisfactory device, as long as you're not overly conscious about the megapixel count on your cameraphone. And since I could score an extra half-Benjamin from writing a review of this phone, ah, I've decided that I'll get one of these on the weekend instead of the N82.

What bothers me, though, is that the N78, although much less feature-packed than the N82, is a thousand and two hundred pesos more expensive. I still haven't satisfied myself as to a reason why, and I refuse to believe that they're going to let this on just because the N78 is a new model. Anyway, I'll see in a couple of days if the N78 is really worth the extra thousand and two, and prepare a review of the said device soon as possible.
