The Nokia E71 is a super sleek device

The latest in the Nokia E series is looking really sweet. The E71 is incredibly thin at 10mm thick, but it also packs a lot in to a small space with WiFi, HSDPA, A-GPS and even a 3.2 megapixel camera that faces forward for video chat. The screen is just a little smaller than its predecessors at 2.36 QVGA but you get more battery life with the E71. At 20 days of standby, 10.5 hours of GSM talk or 4.5 hours of 3G talk, you’ll be able to rack up a nice sized phone bill. At $500, the phone is a standard price, maybe a little on the expensive side, and you’ll likely be able to pick one up sometime in Q3.

Nokia to launch E66, E71 phones next week

Nokia this morning has inadvertently confirmed the existence of its E66 and E71 smartphones through comments made today to Reuters. Senior executive VP Anssi Vanjoki explains that a "group" of Eseries devices will launch in the same summer window as the N96 media phone. The company itself doesn't provide details, though sources speaking to the news agency claim that both devices will be uncovered next week and share similar features.

Previous reports and early testing have confirmed the feature sets are very similar and aimed at both business and home users. Both the QWERTY keyboard-equipped E71 and the number pad-only E66 will have 3.2-megapixels as well as GPS, Wi-Fi, and 128MB of memory that allows smoother multitasking. At least the E71 is known to support quad-band GSM and 3G Internet access through AT&T's network in the US.

Pricing hasn't been unveiled, though either phone is believed to undercut the N96 price by dropping the sharper 5-megapixel camera, the DVB-H tuner, and the 16GB of internal storage present in the Nseries device.
