The world largest mobile manufacturer, Nokia, finally unveiled their 2 new Eseries line up. The phones, E71 and E66, actually has been in reviewers’ hand from about 2 weeks ago. Along with the new Eseries, the Finns also launched 6205 flip phone. 6205 is a CDMA phone. In the US, 6205 will be provided by Verizon Wireless.

A short information about 6205, the phone will be offered with latest Batman’s Dark Knight movie promotion. Just for US$ 119, we can have 6205 with Dark Knight branded cover, wallpaper, and ringtones. Here is short specification of 6205 CDMA:

Eseries outlook

Enough speaking about 6205. Let’s get back to our new Eseries toys. Our managing editor has luckily grab E71 and E66 in his hand. We managed to have slight review about these two phones before. The phone will be the successor of previous successful E61i. Again, this E series positioning is critical, since they will battle head-to-head with Blackberry, Sony Ericsson Xperia, and iPhone 3G.

Will Nokia win the war? I bet with their long time experience, they will find their niche. They have many fanboys whom also heavy business users. Instead of changing to new interface, they will prefer testing the usual Nokia S60 interface. Again, these two phones will be equipped with S60 3rd edition. It is the same OS that is used by N78. I have tried N78 myself and the response is fantastic. S60 3rd edition is the fastest Symbian S60 ever.

Anyway, we have described the specification in our post earlier. The main difference, E66 is a sliding business phone with more ordinary keyboard (not QWERTY). The rest is quite same. Wanna know more about E71 and E66 specs? Here I give them to you:
