Nokia E75 Business Phone to Run Nokia's New Apps Store

Finnish cell phone maker Nokia today announced the E75, a QWERTY keyboard business smartphone and the first device with access Nokia's new online apps store.



The company said its new online software and media store would open in nine countries in May.

Nokia said the E75 will features a large 2.4-inch QVGA screen, 3.2-megapixel camera with auto-focus, high-speed HSDPA access, integrated A-GPS with Nokia Maps, and a music player with a 3.5mm standard audio connector.

It will also come with N-Gage gaming and Nokia Messaging service for email HTML email support.

"With the Nokia E75 we took a lot of inspiration from the Nokia 9300, which was our first mini communicator. Owners of the Nokia 9300 loved the messaging functionality a full keyboard provided, but also used the traditional phone keypad a great deal," said Kai Oistamo, Nokia's Executive Vice President. "With the Nokia E75 we kept these essential ingredients, significantly upgraded all of the features and made it as compact as possible."

The Nokia E75 is expected to ship in colors Fiery Red, Silver Black and Copper Yellow starting in March at an estimated retail price of $485
