And for its next trick Nokia launches the E75
It is quite literally the battle of the phones right now (well between Nokia and Sony Ericsson anyway) as each manufacturer elbow drops the opposition in a bid to become the mobile phone maker to produce the most mobile phones in a year (there must be some kind of insider wager going on). Nokia has just launched the loooong-awaited 5800 XpressMusic, the N97 is March bound, there’s the newest edition to the XpressMusic family, the 5730 and there’s the environmentally friendly N79 Eco.
As if that wasn’t enough, a new Nokia handset has just rolled into town to join its ever growing Nokia brethren. Nokia seems to have taken a leaf out of Sony Ericsson’s book, as the E75 looks remarkably similar to the recently announced 5730 smartphone. But they are different. Yes, both are sliders with a hidden QWERTY keyboard, but the main difference is value. While the E75 is going to thrown in the direction of business or high-end users, the 5730 is more of a budget QWERTY slider, i.e. affordable and more music and text centric.
Specs-wise, we’re looking at a 2.4-inch screen, HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth and a 3.2 megapixel camera. It’s expected to make an appearance at Mobile World Congress next month. And that’s about as much as we know thus far.
