Nokia E6 adds touchscreen to QWERTY bar Eseries

Nokia E6
Among the things announced at Nokia's press event today was the brand new Nokia E6. The E6 is a candybar style phone with a full QWERTY keyboard and a 2.46-inch touchscreen display. Nokia plans to modernize its business oriented smartphone lineup starting with the E6.
Composed of glass and stainless steel, the E6 builds on the heritage of Nokia's business smartphones such as the E71 and E72. The E6 measures 115.5mm x 59mm (4.5in x 2.3in) and is a svelte 10.5mm (0.4in) thick. It weighs a solid 133g (4.7oz). The highlight of the show is the full QWERTY keyboard lifted right off the older models and the new 2.46-inch touchscreen display.
The screen has a VGA resolution with 640 x 480 pixels, which should provide a very sharp picture at that screen size.
For media capture, the E6 sports an 8 megapixel, autofocus camera with dual-LED flash. It is capable of recording 720p HD video (1280 x 720 pixel) at 25 frames per second. There appears to be a front-facing camera as well. The E6 also has a Wi-Fi radio that supports 802.11b/g/n wireless connections, and the phone supports Bluetooth 3.0 and GPS, too. A 3.5 mm headphone jack supports both audio in and out and video output to a TV. The E6's 1500mAh battery is expected to offer up to 7.5 hours of talk time on 3G, or 31 days of standby time.
Running the whole show on the E6 is Nokia's newly announced version of Symbian called Anna. Anna will bring an updated, modernized look to Symbian with new icons, a refreshed user interface, improved web browsing, better text input, and an enhanced Ovi Maps application with better search and public transit routes. Symbian Anna will also add business oriented features such as hardware accelerated data encryption and full meeting request support.
The Nokia E6 supports 3G voice and data on any of 5 different frequency bands, including those used by T-Mobile USA and AT&T. It also supports quad-band GSM/EDGE 2G networks.
The Nokia E6 is expected to hit the market in the second quarter of 2011 at a to-be-announced price. It will be available in black, white, or silver color schemes. Take a look at the video below highlighting the features of the E6 by Nokia. Price in USD: $322
