Nokia releases two new smartphones, the E71 and E66

Today seems to be the day when we get the lowdown on a variety of new phone models. After the glut of Sony Ericsson models we saw this morning, let's welcome some new Nokia handsets to the scene.

The Nokia E71 comprises of a full size QWERTY keyboard, and weighs in at 126g. It is equipped with push email and has a HSDPA connection with up to 3.6 Mbps for fast browsing. You also get built-in GPS and Nokia Maps to help you navigate your way around town, as well as a 3.2 megapixel camera with flash.

There's 110 MB of on-board memory, with support for up to 8GB via the microSD card slot. The phone is a mere 57mm thick, which isn't that bad for a smartphone, and it runs on Microsoft Exchange which lets you view documents and calendars easily

The Nokia E66 is pretty similar to the Nokia E71, apart from the obvious omission of the QWERTY keyboard. Personally I think this model looks a lot cuter and easier to use, and it weighs in at 121g, which is 5g below the larger model. It's also 49mm thick and comes in either grey or white. It also has an accelerometor which can be used for full-screen browsing and it looks a lot more pocket friendly than its big brother, the E71.

Available from July for 350 Euros from Nokia
