It's not often that I talk about Eseries phones here at Symbian Addict, but in the coming months you'll be seeing a lot more coverage. I've never got a chance to play with an Eseries phone, but after seeing the latest leaked pictures of the Nokia E71 I really want to get my hands on one.

Sure it doesn't have xenon flash like the N82 or a 5 megapixel camera, but latest rumors say a North American version with 3g will be released. Having a 3g S60 phone with a qwerty keypad would be awesome. Will I ever purchase one? I'm not sure I can go without xenon flash. But I would love to see this phone get huge in the US. I've talked with a few other people from the Symbian/Nokia community about this and we share the same thoughts. More Americans prefer a qwerty keypad over a solid camera. That's why the E71 will be a huge hit. The 3.2 megapixel camera will probably make the Nokia E71 one of the best North American 3g cameraphones.

A few weeks back someone in the mobile industry mentioned to me that a 3g Eseries phone is in the works and that Nokia is being really hush hush about it, but hewouldn't specify which model it will be. Waking up in the morning and reading Howard Forums is a daily routine for me. Today someone posted pictures of the E71 in the hands of a US mobile company, specifically Decho Wireless. Interesting thing is the pictures show a E71-2 and RM-357 under the battery. According to the original poster this version has NAM 3g. Keep in mind that this is not official, just a strong rumor. Stay tuned in the coming days for this rumor to hopefully be announced by Nokia.

Features the E71 is rumored to have:

-3.2mp camera
-1500mah battery!
-Wifi and GPS
-Microsdhc
-Feature Pack 2

What do you think about the E71? Would you consider buying one? In one of those links you can see a side by side shot with the N95 and the E71 is significantly thinner. If I didn't need xenon flash on my N82, I would for sure rather pick up the E71 before the N95.
