The E63 from Nokia has been announced. The phone with a Symbian S60 device and its eye impressing external features sure states its hunger for mass appeal. The phone from the Nokia Eseries family is riding on the success of the Nokia E71.

A standard 3.5-mm audio jack, camera with video recording, WiFi, ability to switch from an E-series business mode - corporate email, appointments, intranet to personal mode - pictures, personal email, and browser shortcuts with a single key press is a definite wow factor. The phone with the QWERTY keypad, ruby red/aquamarine blue body, a pre-tax, pre-subsidy price of just €199 does generate some interest from us.

The E63 begins shipping in the coming weeks with a 1GB of Ovi file storage which comes for free with the phone. Furthermore the E63 measures 113 x 59 x 13-mm and weighs 126g, has a bright landscape display screen of 2.36inch/16M colors, a touch sensitive Navi wheel, microSD memory slot with 110MB internal memory extendable upto 8GB, 2 mp camera capable of QVGA video @ 15fps, Bluetooth, has FM radio, quad-band GSM / EDGE and a Li-Po battery with 11h talk / 432 hours standby.

The phone is also said to be released in UMTS 900/2100, 850/1900 and GSM 850/900/1800/1900 configurations. A Great Phone for a Great Price.
