Photos: Nokia E66 and Nokia E71 rock-solid emailers

Yesterday we popped along to the global launch of the Nokia E66 and Nokia E71 -- no, it wasn't the Nokia Tube -- but Nokia did confirm that a touchscreen phone will be announced before the end of the year. Anyway, back to reality, and while these handsets don't come with touchscreens they're very classy indeed.

Aimed at businessmen, the E61 and E77's promo material has all the makings of a snore-inducing lecture, but when you actually pick one up, you realise these could well be among Nokia's most attractive and feature-rich phones to date. The business focus means media and imaging take a backseat, but they're more than compensated for by connectivity, email support and sturdiness. Both handsets will be available at some point in July.

Starting with the E66, Nokia has taken a very logical step and evolved an already great phone into an even better one. Successor to the E65, the E66 boasts an attractive metal casing, GPS, Wi-Fi, HSDPA and an accelerometer, which knows which way you're holding it up and adjusts the screen accordingly.
