With competition in the mobile phone market heating up, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) unveiled two exciting handsets yesterday that look shockingly similar to a BlackBerry, and also have some pretty nice entertainment services that meet or exceed features on the iPhone. Nokia released the Nokia E71, and the Nokia E66, which are both expected to begin shipping in July and cost about $543 (EUR 350) before taxes and any carrier subsidies. Release.
E71: This is the one that looks most like a Blackberry because it has a full Qwerty keyboard, a fairly large screen and is thin. As required these days, it has enterprise features including Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) Exchange email support, along with support for Microsoft Office documents. Some of the high-end features that rival or beat the iPhone include: 3G, built in GPS, 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, music player, online sharing with Ovi, the ability to to use the device as a modem and stereo Bluetooth support.
E66: The device has all the same features — it’s just looks different. The phone is a slider and the screen slides up to reveal a standard keypad.
