Nokia Unveils "World's Thinnest" QWERTY Smartphone

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i-lost-it-in-a-deck-of-cards dept.

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.'"

    Sounds about right... I don't have any modpoints though and you insulted Apple so you'll probably just get modded flamebait. Sorry!
