The new Nokia E6 succeeds the popular line of full qwerty smartphones which started with the Nokia E71 and the Nokia E72. Nokia retained the design with a few hardware improvements and added their new and improved Symbian^3 Anna OS.

Nokia E6 specs:
2.46-inch display @ 640×480 pixels
8GB internal storage
256 MB RAM, 1GB ROM
up to 32GB microSD
HSDPA 10.2Mbps, HSUPA 2.0Mbps
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 3.0 w/ A2DP
USB On-the-go support
8MP fixed-focus w/ dual-LED flash
720p@25fps video recording
600MHz ARM 11 processor
2D/3D Graphics HW Accelerator with OpenVG1.1 and OpenGL ES 2.0
FM Radio tuner
Li-Ion 1500 mAh

Nokia has not provided local pricing but adds it will be available this 2nd quarter of 2011. I reckon since it’s an E72 successor, it will be priced around the same SRP which is between Php21k to Php23k.

asyong · 15 years ago

i’ll go for sony ericsson xplay :)

tfcnow02 · 15 years ago

gusto ko to kaso di pa available kaya E7 na muna papalit sa E71 ko :)

Den Limq · 15 years ago

I hope it’s not too expensive and the keyboard is the same as the E71 and E72

Drey · 15 years ago

Why does QWERTY phones always sport a fixed-non focusing camera????

Grrrrr….

kannuchi · 15 years ago

Pag nagboom pa ang Symbian, mas tatagal pa sa announced 2012 or 2014 support for the said OS.

Last month, nawalan na ko ng gana sa Symbian with their upcoming models after N8 and C7, but then nung nilabas tong E6, parang natempt nanaman ako to buy ONE! :P

Justin · 15 years ago

Ok lang na magka update pa ang Symbian. It’s always nice to know that there is a pursuit of improvement. Kung last hurrah na to ng Symbian, at least they go out with a bang.

Kerwin · 15 years ago

Mukhang di parin mamamatay ang Symbian. Oh well, more competition is always nice. Eto na siguro mga last wave bago maging puro Windows Phone 7 na.

whatif · 15 years ago

taas nga ng PPI di mo naman mabasa sa sobrang liit patawa rin eh no?

hindi kaya taasan ng symbian ang resolution nila (to 800×400 example) kasi limitation po ng dinosaur OS yan sauce!

marco · 15 years ago

Eh bakit ung mga symbian^2 handsets from docomo FWVGA ang resolution = 480×854…?

marco · 15 years ago

Patawa rin ang iphone 4, kasi 329ppi nun mas mataas sa E6. Nagrereklamo ka sa screen size? Eh kaya lang naman tumataas ang ppi ng screen eh dahil mataas ang resolution sa maliit na screen area. Sa tingin mo 329ppi pa rin ang iphone 4 kung hindi 3.5 inches ang screen? Ang pinagkaiba lang mas malawak ang area ng iphone 4, hindi ulit maliit ang area ng screen eh hindi mo na mababasa sa liit ang sulat, depende yan kung maliit talaga ang sulat, kaso matino naman ang nokia para gawing big enough ang font para mabasa ng mata, siguro kasing laki din ng font ng iphone 4, hano?. Parang papel lang yan eh. Pag mas malaki ang papel mo mas marami kang lang masusulat, pag maliit mas kaunti. Magsusulat ka ba kasi ng pagkaliitliit? Kahit saang papel ka man magsulat, sa manila paper man o sa 1/4 pad paper, kung ang sulat mo naman ay kasing liit ng langgam, eh di walang ring pinagkaiba? Pareho ang E6 at iphone 4 na kayang magdisplay ng maliit na sulat, dahil halos pareho sila ng ppi. Pero hindi naman madalas gamitin ang kakayahan na yun dahil talaga namang mahihirapan kang magbasa. Ung high ppi ng iphone 4 at e6, ang totoong merit nyan eh kung paano nila nagagawang crisp at smooth ang mga texts at pictures. Hindi kung paano nila kayang magdisplay ng super sa liit na texts. Admit it, cno ba sa atin ang komportable na magbasa ng ganoong kaliit na text? Pero syempre dahil gusto nating maging smooth and crisp ang texts mas pinapaboran natin ang mataas na ppi.

Ganito na lang gawin mo. Kuha ka ng iphone 4, tapos sumukat ka ng 2.5 inches mula sa sulok, diagonal. Tapos takpan mo ung mga parts na hindi naabot ng diagonal, yan ang screen ng E6. Ano, hindi mo parin ba mabasa sa sobrang liit?

hey noob, we’re discussing the nokia e6 here so please avoid discussing such fanboy-ish stuff here. being a fanboy is like being a bias and gay.
quit being a fanboy and make your comparisons properly.

mcdofanboy · 15 years ago

screen resolution is an overkill for a small-sized qwerty smartphone.

marco · 15 years ago

People just don’t get it, you’re becoming hyporites yourselves. Halos magkamukha ng ppi ang iphone 4 at E6. Pero walang nagsabing overkill ang iphone 4. Ang E6, parang iphone 4 lang ang screen nyan, na pinutulan sa lenght at width para maging 2.5 inches. Wala bang nakaisip nun?

mcdofanboy · 15 years ago

but at least after long years of waiting nokia did fit such resolution in such small screen.

i cannot say the word “overkill” for iphone 4 since apple is known for making such big feats on gadgets. apple does not surprise me because they have got such skillful people for a long time.

p.s.:
fitting such resolution on a big screen is no surprise. knowing that such small screen can handle such resolution is already a delight. screen size does not really matter if it can fit more information on the screen.

@marco
do you mean “hypocrites” instead of “hyporites”?
use your fingers properly…not on holding some big dicks!

the quitter · 15 years ago

comparing a touchscreen phone to a non-touch phone is like comparing a bicycle to a luxury car.
epic fail way to go.

jason24589 · 15 years ago

I think that it be compete to the HTC ChaCha and BlackBerry Torch. Just wait for MeeGo and Windows Phone 7.

jason24589 · 15 years ago

I think that it be compete to the HTC ChaCha and BlackBerry Torch. Just waut for MeeGo and Windows Phone 7.

i noticed that nokia is releasing new high end phones with fixed focus camera… grrr… like my nokia N8 with 12mp camera but a fixed focus one.. grrr..

knee loat · 15 years ago

N8 fixed focus???… do a little research dude

wapome · 15 years ago

i thought symbian OS is a thing in the as most Nokia phones these days are on OVI. I even heard a rumor of Nokia will runn some of their smartphones on the new Windpws Phone 7.

tfcnow02 · 15 years ago

sure they will, it may take time but that’s where they’re headed and will try to come up with one within this year…

mr8382004 · 15 years ago

Wow USB on the Go, pwede nasiguro mag plug ng flash drive na mataas ang memory capacity.

kenok · 15 years ago

The e72 still looks better than this one.

Kimikol · 15 years ago

Is this a Nokia version of BB OS 6 and 9780? :)

eRvN · 15 years ago

@biboy yup, qwerty and touchscreen. now i’m also thinking of upgrading my e72, but i’ll wait first for reviews

Mike · 15 years ago

errrr. fixed focus camera again from nokie.

biboy · 15 years ago

touchscreen ba ito?

kannuchi · 15 years ago

Hardware-wise and software support, Nokia wins on this! Excited to replace my E72! :D

Potpot · 15 years ago

But where is the nokia c2-00?

Neil · 15 years ago

According to GSMArena, E6 has a 328ppi display. Slightly better than of the iPhone 4’s.

Paul · 15 years ago

Using the specs from GSMarena and running that through the calculator

http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_e6-3717.php
http://members.ping.de/~sven/dpi.html

Horizontal resolution: 640 pixels
Vertical resolution: 480 pixels
Diagonal: 2.46 inches (6.25cm)
Display size: 1.97″ Ã— 1.48″ (5cm Ã— 3.75cm) = 325.2 PPI, 0.0781mm dot pitch, 105757 PPIÂ²

I dunno where you got the 328ppi figure from but if anything it’s slightly worse than the iPhone 4 display
