Cingular just posted the Nokia E62 on its web site. It lacks Wifi like the E61 – but is still has a landscape QVGA, QWERTY, S60 3rd Edition action that made the original famous — and as expected, it’s gone live for a very reasonable $150 on contract Read on for the specs.
Besides the lack of 802.11, the E62 gives up the E61’s UMTS 2100 support, but Cingular’s guessing its average buyer isn’t going to mind. There is lots of competition now and there will be more in the coming months in the QWERTY Smartphone market Nokia and Cingular may have a have a winner here. Here are the specs:
