Today Nokia officially announced two new additions to its E series business-focused devices, the E66 slider and the E71 bar-phone with full QWERTY keyboard. They share a large number of features. Both have quad-band GSM/EDGE radios and several 3G profiles, with each coming in a 3.6Mbps WCDMA/HSDPA 850/1900 North American variant. Bluetooth 2.0+EDR with stereo support and Wi-Fi are included. They run the Nokia S60 operating system with Feature Pack 1. A 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash is standard on both phones, as is GPS, 2.5mm headset jacks and microSD support for cards up to 8GB. Both are loaded with Nokia's business software, such as a VPN client and support for Exchange. Both phones also share the E series styling first seen on the E51. They will be available in the third quarter.

E66: This slider phone is the successor to the E65. Its stand out feature is that it has an accelerometer built in, and will auto-rotate the screen when it is turned sideways.
E71: This phone is the progeny of the E61/62. It is smaller than the E61/62, but still has a full QWERTY keyboard for typing messages.

Blackberry Connect?

Does anyone know if BB Connect will be available on this phone as it is now with the E62 on ATT?
Some sites I saw when I googled this phone last week seemed to indicate it would come loaded and be supported--- but the official Nokia release doesnt specify. I use it now and it works great.

Thanks

Enticing

They both look pretty sweet but that E71 looks particularly nice. I always keep a phone with a full QWERTY as a backup for when I go on trips. I'm currently using the E61i but this looks to be a very nice upgrade.

I'll be curious to see how it fares compared to the Blackberry Bold (taking into account the fact that the Bold already has a carrier partner in the US).
