At this blog we like to see the past and try to predict the future, or simply analyse the present, the past being where the Nokia E71 belongs, and the future where the Nokia E6-00 will reign.

If we look at the design, we see that the Finnish manufacturer has become less serious in its approach, so that the handset can dual as a business phone and an entertainment one, so that the user can carry it to anywhere.

What certainly hasn’t changed is the comfort brought by the full QWERTY keyboard on the actual front of the handset – you don’t need to twist, open or unfold any part of the device in order to take advantage of the full keyboard.

Of course, the Nokia E6-00 is hardly the top of the cream when it comes to Nokia’s line-up. To that belongs the Nokia N8, you can visit it or purchase it from retailer www.dialaphone.co.uk.

The Nokia E6-00 itself bets on the touchscreen plus keyboard combo, which I believe is great, adds Microsoft apps needed for business, social networking access for one’s daily life, and my favourite – free GPS navigation with Ovi Maps.
