Nokia E63 What's the Point?

This was the device that was rumored to be the successor of the Nokia E71.. (Whoa!! That was Fast!!) I know, and I came to find out with some research.

NOT TO WORRY E71 OWNERS.. IT WILL NOT REPLACE YOUR E71!!

Its a lowered specs version of the E71 with some improved ergonomics..

Why is it lowered?

No GPS
Plastic Hardware Casing
Thicker than the E71

Why is it Improved?

3.5mm Jack
resized space bar key to make other keys bigger
Color Variant (Red)

So far so good those are the reported improvements..

Now let me go back to my title.. What’s the point? What is the point of this device?

It looks to me that Nokia is going backward in technology.. Aren’t we suppose to be moving forward?

Well one reason that came to my mind of this device existence is to attract Service Providers.. Such as the American Carriers AT&T and T-Mobile, Its not too much of a more powerful featured specs device for American carriers to decline.

I just hope this is a start for great things..

Few bloggers from the UK were the lucky ones to get a pre production models of this device from WOM World Nokia.. As noted by the bloggers it is scheduled to launch today or tomorrow.

So if you want to take a glance look of this phone.. Check out our friends from Mobile Industry Review as their one the lucky ones to get hands on to this device.
