Ooh! E62i!
engadget mobile has a potential huge scoop- the Nokia E62i!
Sure, Nokia knows how to make solid phone, and we hear they even manage move a few units, but if there’s one thing Nokia hasn’t quite nailed yet — for whatever reason — is that thin is in. Well, it doesn’t look like they’re planning on winning any prizes in this arena just yet (though that N75 is dang close), but some blurry camphone shots of a supposed “E62i” successor to the E61/62 qwerty handhelds points to a marked slimming of the phone, and every mm counts in a world of smartphones like the Excalibur, Q and Pearl. From the pics, it’s apparent Nokia has also added a couple of face buttons, swapped the 5-way joystiq for a welcome new flat button, and added a camera. It’s hard to tell from the pics if any other dimensions have gone under the knife in the interest of making this thing a bit more pocketable, but we definitely like where this one is headed. We’re otherwise in the dark for specs, but supposedly “confirmation” is headed our way near the end of November…
I was told this actually is E61i but I also wrote E62i since thats what Engadget wrote. Either way, this looks very promising and I dearly hope they give it 3.2Mpix and nothing less.

So there was no confirmation of this or the new Communicator at Nokia World. Got any latest? Where did the pic come from? Timescale? I’ve just bought an E61 on eBay to tide me over with my current contract until I might get a camera-rich E61i or maybe something like an N95 on a new contract in the new year.

i really cant wait to get the Nokia e62i >>>>
the e61 is a very great mobile it could only be perfect if it did have a cam
and it will be even the best mobile ever if they added a 2 m-pixel camera and a front G3 camera for vedio calls .
anyway
i think the e62i will make it out
