Nokia's low cost E-Series handset, the E63, is getting a new, black colored version very soon, if we are to go by the most recent listing on the Nokia Europe E63 page.
A poor cousin to the E71, the E63 has managed to attract a huge fan following for offering a decent spec list in an affordable price range. The classier, sleeker look that this black version will provide will surely be welcomed by those looking for a cheaper alternative to the E71, but were unhappy with the "flashy" red and blue versions currently available.
The features, as expected, should remain the same. The E63 is a S60 Third Edition based smartphone and is a low cost alternative to its better-endowed, pricier cousin the E71. The E63 features a 2 megapixel camera, WiFi and a 3.5 mm jack and almost all features any self respecting smartphone would love to have. Omissions come in the form of a lower resolution camera, lack of HSDPA (this is not applicable in India anyway, as we do not have HSDPA here) and GPS.
There is no word as to when this new black version will make its appearance here in India.
Ok first of all, a bit sick and tired of this phone being called the "poor cousin" on the e71 !! I mean really, at the price at which its being sold its by far the best piece to buy !! so get off it !!..secondly i bought the phone in august,2009 and I got the black piece, so as of august it is officially in the market so those looking to buy the e63, black is the way to go ! it looks too classy and just BUSINESS!! cheers guys
Look I live in New Delhi, and I got it here for the price of Rs. 12,500. But i don't think there will be much difference in the price. Probably 200-300 higher in your state!
