Nokia goes after US CrackBerries
Both the E62 and E70 are attractive business phones, and are likely to have some success as alternatives to RIM BlackBerry in the US. They even have the BlackBerry Connect software included, so if you like the form factor over those of BlackBerries you still have the same email functionality.
E70 is the oddest one with flip-out alphanumeric keypad. Apart from that they are very much alike.
I hope Sony Ericsson will introduce the M600 in the US with BlackBerry Connect included (not standard in the European model). I'm addicted to that phone now.
I wonder why phones need to be changed, and in the case of E61/E62 crippled, to sell in the US.
