Nokia packs a surprising punch with the HSDPA-enabled E71 smartphone
Hesitant about joining the hordes of sore-thumbed BlackBerry users, and greasy-fingered iPhone addicts? Nokia’s launch of the E71 smartphone today should not only be music to your ears, but hand lotion on your fingers.
As expected from a business handset, the full QWERTY keyboard is targeted at consumers who want push-email, and Microsoft Exchange compatibility. Encased in a metallic shell, it has HSDPA connectivity, plus A-GPS and Nokia Maps. A surprising 3.1-megapixel camera with autofocus is also included, as are…

Motorola formally introduces MOTO ROKR E8 music mobile phone to the masses
Last night at an exclusive London event, Motorola launched the MOTO ROKR E8 handset, which is aimed at music aficionados.
Featuring ModeShift technology, it turns from a music player back to a phone with the touch of one button, and has FastScroll navigation for rolling through your songs – you can store 3,000 of them due to the 2GB of storage – and locate the one you want easily. Unfortunately you have to use Windows Media Player 11 to transfer those tunes, however.
Specs-wise, there’s Bluetooth, a full HTML web browser, haptics, a 2.0-megapixel camera, and microSD card slot. Sadly…

PAYG phone with 5-megapixels? Yep, you've got it, with the LG KC550
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this handset floating about on the internet, thanks to FCC approval documents surfacing a month ago. Today, however, LG saw fit to formally introduce it to the world, and has given us some more details about the LG-KC550, or KC550 as it’s been fondly nicknamed.
Now, you can snap photos on it with the impressive 5.0-megapixel sensor, image stabiliser and Schneider-Kreuznach lens, however it’s sadly not 3G-capable, meaning if you want to send those photos anywhere? Yep, it’ll be on ye olde slow 2G, or via MMS, however it is being marketed as a pre-pay handset, which may explain the lack of high-speed internet…
