Nokia E6-00 handled on video, touchscreen and all
Another week, another Nokia E6-00 leak -- this time captured on video by Mr. Blurrycam himself. We've already seen pictures of the portrait QWERTY device and shots taken with its 8 megapixel EDoF camera, but this video provides a first glimpse of the Symbian^3 handset in action. The E6-00 improves upon the highly popular E71 and E72 communicators by featuring a VGA touchscreen and (likely) the same pentaband 3G radio found in most recent Nokia smartphones. We're still waiting for an official announcement, but until then enjoy the video after the break.
Nokia E6 spied again, shows off its touchy Symbian UI
We saw the Nokia E6 first leak a little over a month ago, suggesting that Nokia had plans to add a touchscreen into the portrait QWERTY formula pulled off so well in the E71... but there was a problem: the screen was off. Where's the fun in that? Now another shot of the apparently upcoming Symbian device has leaked -- this time in a darker shade -- showing an updated user interface with icons that look just big enough to comfortably fat-finger. That's all we've got for the moment, but for E71 owners still waiting for their knight in shining armor to swoop in and offer a worthy replacement, this might end up being the closest thing -- assuming, of course, it hasn't been canceled and you're still okay going with Symbian for your next phone.
Nokia E6 in the wild?
Considering rumors we've heard of a VGA display, we'd assumed that Nokia's E6 would probably have a large touchscreen -- but these shots we've just received look... well, a little different. Instead, it seems that Espoo's planning to gently massage the winning portrait QWERTY formula already well established by the E71 and E72, bumping out a proper big brother to the E5. Around back, you see an 8 megapixel camera (possibly the same EDoF unit that's in the E7) along with a dual LED flash; on front, that could very well be a VGA display, we suppose, considering the uptick in pixel density that everyone's been pushing the past year. If we had to guess, this puppy is a lock for MWC -- but in light of the crazy rumors floating around Nokia the past few days, all bets are off. [Thanks, anonymous tipster] %Gallery-115798%
Nokia E6-00 to have VGA display?
Now-pulled Picasa shots already told us that Nokia's upcoming E6-00 would likely be sporting an 8 megapixel camera, but now we've got another scrap of evidence that points to a notable feature: an honest-to-goodness 640 x 480 display, which would be a small upgrade from the 640 x 360 "nHD" resolution Espoo's used on some of its high-end models as of late. The information comes to us via an official user agent profile for the device that's up on Nokia's site, so it's just about as official as it gets; there was also a Wi-Fi Alliance certification online at some point, though it's since been pulled. Needless to say, it seems the odds are at least decent that we could see this launch at MWC in a few days -- especially since the company has finally scheduled a press event there. [Thanks, Glenn]
Camera shots provide more evidence of Nokia E6-00
We've been hearing rumors of a Nokia E6-00 for a few months now, and while details are still scarce, some evidence surfaced recently in the form of a Picasa gallery shock full of pictures taken with the phone. While the gallery was quickly pulled, it was available long enough to reveal some interesting information. From both the shots and the EXIF data, it looks like the E6-00 sports an 8 megapixel EDoF camera with flash similar to what we've already seen on the Nokia C6-01 and Nokia E7. Everything else is pretty much speculation at this point, but but we're hoping for a Nokia E72 successor running Symbian with a touchscreen similar in concept to the Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type. Update: It looks like our hopes have been validated. Mobile Bulgaria reports that the E6-00 will boast a 640 x 480 VGA touchscreen (instead of the usual 640 x 360 nHD Symbian fare) in a QWERTY portrait form factor, and will feature the new web browser (version 7.3).
