New Pictures of the Unannounced Nokia E75 Appear

Nokia has been on a tear lately with leaks and releases, and some images of an unannounced handset, the E75, have appeared on the Web, confirming some of what has been included earlier unconfirmed  reports on this device.

Physical Traits

What can be easily seen from the images is the form factor: a tablet shape with a sliding keyboard. This device will also have a numberpad on its face.

Compared to Nokia's first device with a touchscreen, the recently released 5800 XpressMusic, which is also shown in in these images, the E75 seems a few millimeters wider and taller. The screen remains at a QVGA resolution, and is roughly 2.4-inches when measured diagonally.

Other features that can be discerned from these images include the flush numeric keypad on the front, split QWERTY keyboard, 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash, and a very thin build -- following in the mold of the Nokia E71.

The E75 supposedly will benefit from a bump to version 3.2 of the Symbian S60 operating system. If this is the case, it will be the first E-series device to use this version.

If E-series tradition holds up, the E75 will probably be made mostly of metal, contain a relatively large battery  -- 1100-1500 mAh is normal for these devices -- and support several enterprise connectivity options, but not  BlackBerry Connect.

Wireless options will supposedly include HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS, as on other Nokia devices.

Possible Availability

The E75 might be one of the next devices released by Nokia. It was not spoken of during this week's Nokia World event, and therefore an after-Christmas release is probable, given this level of pictures having been taken.

If the Nokia E71 is a measuring stick, the E75 may retail in the $350-$400 range at the most. But due to the included software and build quality, it could easily have a value higher than that.
