Nokia today announced the expansion of its product portfolio with two new smartphones: E6 and X7.
The first is a smartphone with QWERTY keyboard, high resolution touch screen and built with quality materials like stainless steel and glass. This is a terminal-oriented professional groups inherits all the halo of E71 and E72 models and comes ready to take full advantage of messaging, including applications like Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Communicator Mobile and Microsoft SharePoint.
SlashGear - BlackBerry may be the name associated with QWERTY messaging phones, but there’s a vocal cadre of Nokia users all too keen to talk about the merits of the Finnish company’s keyboard-blessed candybars. The E72 met with mixed reactions, failing to quite capture affection the way its E71 predecessor did; now we have the E6 (aka Nokia E6-00), pairing keyboard and touchscreen and offering a taste of the latest Symbian flavor, Anna. Is the E6 enough to distract us from the rapid approach of Nokia’s first Windows Phones?
PocketNow - Nokia’s X7 was launched concurrently with the Finnish company releasing the new version of its Symbian mobile platform, Anna. Together with the E6, the X7 is shipping with Anna on board, and many Nokia and Symbian fans out there will love the smartphone. Espoo is referring to the X7 as an entertainment phone, and it delivers in that department, no matter if we’re talking pictures, video or music content.
Pocket-Lint: With Nokia's WP7 adventure imminent the new Nokia X7 could be seen as a tough sell as it's armed, solely, with a Symbian update - Symbian Anna.
