The buzz on the net is that MobileBee is showing that the new Nokia E61 will be shipping February 15th. Upon calling MobileBee in New York for confirmation, MobileTracker was told that the phone was expected around that time and that if it is released by the manufacturer (Nokia) that day, then they will have them in stock a day or two later at the earliest.
The Nokia E61, aka the Nokiaberry, is Nokia's response to the Blackberry and Motorola's Q. The Nokia E series phones are designed to address the needs of business users, other E series phones included the E70, E60, and the E61.

Nokia shipping the phone and it coming out on Cingular are two different things... But it looks slick, as does that new Sony Ericsson (M600 I think) that is also a BlackBerry competitor.
I love this phone - widescreen is just waiting for some mobile video, keyboard is great for _everything,_ MiniSD (thank god!) expansion, I really can't wait. The one kicker is that the WCDMA is 2100, not 1900 as Cingular is going to be using in NYC (IIRC)... EDGE will have to do I 'spose.
I tried searching to get some reviews and came to know it dose not have a camera ????but has a 264 hours standby time and 75 MB built-in user memory.. …..got these reviews for http://www.inods.com see if u like them good info!! Neways it comes with Bluetooth and Infrared connectivity and yes!! Not to forget the qwerty keyboard......
The people at Cingular thought that I was crazy when I mentioned this phone. They'd never heard of it and I looked like a fool. Only one rep heard of it and told me it would be in the store atthe end of August. I went back but he wasn't there and the sales reps once again had never heard of it, so once again I left feeling like a dummy.
I am currently using this fone and it is the mobile technology the world has ben waiting for. I'm in business production management and this is exactly what i need to do stuff. try it for yourself and let me know. from South Africa
I called Cingular today and they had never heard of it - note that this is all happening in Europe and Asia. I wonder if we'll see it in Q2 or Q3.
