CTIA IT 2006 -- Cingular has introduced the Nokia E62, a business targeted "BlackBerry Killer". We were first tipped off to this news all the way back in May, but it just now got legitimized. The E62 is an Americanized version of the E61.

The Nokia E62 features include:

• 320×240 screen with 16 million colors
• QWERTY keyboard with backlighting
• Several email solutions, including Good Mobile Messaging, Cingular Xpress Mail, BlackBerry Connect, Mail for Exchange and regular POP/IMAP/SMTP
• Quadband GSM plus EDGE
• miniSD slot
• S60 version 3 (Symbian 9)

Cingular will exclusively begin shipping the E62 on September 29th. Perhaps the most surprising news is price, as low as $149.99. This puts it in direct competition with the Motorola Q and significantly under the Treo's price point.
