The Nokia E71 is the successor to the Nokia E61/E62/E61i according to Russian based forum Mobile-Review . It will have a 3.2 megapixel camera, GPS, WiFi, HSDPA, weigh 120 grams and be only 57 x 112 x 10 mm; a hell of a lot less wide than the E61i at 70 mm. These rumors are made by Mobile Review moderator Badger who has a consistent track record of having high quality sources. No pictures have leaked yet, but we’re waiting. In other news he says the E65 successor is called the E66, has the same specs (GPS, HSDPA, 3.2 MP) and is apparently “ ugly .” We’ll have to wait and see for ourselves, taste is highly subjective. CES is coming up in less than a week, but don’t look forward to any groundbreaking mobile news there; Mobile World Congress in February is where you’re going to see the mobile motherload of news mutilate our minds and RSS readers around the world. Update: If the E71 is shrunk down to scale, then this is how big it would look like compared to the E61i. Photo is obviously a...

Conform forumului Mobile Review, Nokia va anunta luna viitoare la Congresul International de la Barcelona succesorul popularului sau model E61i.Se speculeaza faptul ca E71 va fi mai subtire decat E61i (care are doar 10 mm ) si ca va avea GPS si o camera de 3.2 megapixeli, acestea fiind adaugate tuturor featureurilor lui E61i.De asemenea se asteapta o transformare a telefonului dintr-una de telefon de business intr-una de telefon mai personal/multimedia. de asteptat sa fie dotat cu o camera de 3 megapixeli si de un receiver GPS incorporat.Se speculeaza ca ambele modele vor fi anuntate in februarie si vor fi lansate in trimestrul al doilea al acestui an.Nu avem nimic de facut decat sa asteptam si sa vedem daca aceste zvonuri se vor materializa sau nu.

Looks legit enough, doesn't it? The supposed successor to the E61i has broken cover via this shot of the device -- in prototype "EXX" form, no less -- being proudly displayed in some lucky son of a gun's hand. The "E" moniker designates a Nokia smartphone with a business slant, of course, and thanks to a lovely QWERTY board, the E71 seems to be no exception; specs on the E51 -ish device are said to be pretty much in line with what we'd expect for a circa-2008 piece, including HSDPA, WiFi, GPS, and a 3.2 megapixel primary cam with a secondary up front for video calling. As for North American 3G, well... as usual, we can only hope. We're not sure whether this thing will break officially here at CES, but if it does, you'll be the first to know.
