Nokia To Launch Stripped Down Blackberry Competitor

posted Mar 6, 2006, 3:29 PM

The FCC today revealed the Nokia e62, a stripped down version of the e61. Although the two look similar there are some major differences. The e62 removes both 3G and Wi-Fi from the device, however it still includes Bluetooth and IR ports. It also switches out the Pop-Port in favor of a standard mini USB and 2.5 mm headset jack. The e62 also features a slightly modified keyboard in order to accommodate a "My Own" key. This key is present on all Series 80 devices and is meant as a shortcut for favorite user-installed applications and documents. The e62 appears to run the same version of S60 as the e61, however it does not appear to have the email connectivity from Blackberry, Visto, Seven and others.
