Nokia's hottest new smartphone: the E6 is now available for pre-order on Nokia India's website. The Nokia E6 will be the first smartphone to come out with the latest iteration of Symbian i.e. Symbian Anna. Being the first device to come out with Symbian Anna, expectations are high. The Nokia E6 will cost Rs 17,999 according to the website.
Speaking of specifications, the smartphone will have a 2.46" display with pixel dimensions of 480x640 and will have an 8 MP camera capable of recording 720p video at 24fps. The phone has a physical QWERTY keypad with a capacitive touchscreen; though this is not one of those touch and type phones that the company has launched so far. The processor is clocked at 600 MHz like the previously launched QWERTY phone the E5, but the E6 comes with a 2D/3D graphics accelerator and a few other graphical enhancements. It also comes with 8 GB of built in storage
The Symbian Anna operating system is said to improve a lot of the core features of the Symbian platform. While this might not be the perfect device to learn or test Symbian Anna's capabilities, it should give us a brief idea about some aspects of its functionality (given its relatively small form factor). We think that the yet to be launched Nokia X7 should give us an idea as to how Symbian Anna fares. That being said, nothing can be taken away from the E6. The spec sheet looks quite good and promises some thrills nevertheless. Dubbed as the business phone, your emails and messages will be taken care of with subtlety; the QWERTY keyboard helps the E6's cause here. The handset is not extravagantly priced unlike most flagship phones by Nokia, but it's not too reasonable either. At the end of the day, it's really a matter of preference. We've come across a bunch of business phones from Nokia, the E5 being the most recent addition, but there is no doubt that this handset does up the ante a bit. You can pre-order the Nokia E6 from theNokia India website.
