Nokia E62 introduced in the States
This is a cheaper version of the E61 without Wi-Fi. The only reason I can think of that it doesn't have Wi-Fi is due to carrier request.
It's sold for $150 with a 2-year contract. As a comparison the E61 is sold in Europe without a sub for ~$600.
The Yahoo! note compares it with BlackBerry phones. In Europe it would rather be compared with e.g. Sony Ericsson P990 and M600i.
Why are phones sold in USA dumbed down versions of those sold in Europe and Asia? I can't figure it out.
