Nokia Unveils "World's Thinnest" QWERTY Smartphone

Barence writes "Nokia has revamped its E-series of business-oriented smartphones with two new models, including the 'world's thinnest' QWERTY device. The GPS-enabled E71 is the slimmer successor to the Nokia E61, with a thickness of only 1cm. It's HSDPA-enabled, offers switchable home screens, and gives a claimed 'two full days of heavy, heavy use.' The E66, on the other hand, is a slide-phone with a conventional numerical keypad and a built-in accelerometer. At the same event, Nokia also gave a tantalizing hint about its plans for an iPhone rival, with its senior vice president saying, 'we will have touchscreen devices coming this year.'"

Hailing from San Fransideshow, I thought I saw:

I though I saw "Nokia Unveils "World's Thinnest" QWEER Smartphone" instead of

"Nokia Unveils "World's Thinnest" QWERTY Smartphone"

(Considering the "historic" day in Califor-ni-aye, re: civil unions/marriages, etc... And considering Scandinavia and other countries were way ahead of the US... but that's another topic...)

Now that THIN is REALLY IN, Nokia users ought to be delight(ed)...

It may be thin, but personally, I'd go for a little thicker, and have a much more useful device. Sure it's not a smart phone. But I'd rather have a dumb phone, and smart computer.
