Nokia N97, Nokia E75, and Nokia E55 first detailed specs and features

Another giant phone manufacturer showed its teeth in the Mobile World Congress 2009. This time the Nokia, the largest phone market share holders in the world have unveiled three new phones, which are the Nokia N97, Nokia E75 and Nokia E55. We’ve heard about the Nokia N97 and Nokia E75, but the Nokia E55 is a surprise gift from Nokia, just like the Sony Ericsson 12 Mpx cameraphone Idao.

Here’s a brief information about the Nokia N97, E75, and E55:

Nokia N97 is the first member from Nokia devices to have the Ovi Store preloaded in it. The device itself seems to be on the line of the prototypes seen in Nokia World at Barcelona a few months, combining a touchscreen with a QWERTY keypad. Nokia says it will hit the stores in June. checkout the specs, news and comparison here

The E75 seems to be a spin off of the HTC S710, combining both a traditional alphanumeric keypad with a QWERTY one that slides out from the side. It will be the first device with Nokia Messaging built in and is expected to be released in March at a price tag of 375 Euros. The display is a 2.4-inch QVGA, a 3.5mm headphone jack, 3.2 megapixel camera, built-in VPN, HSDA, 802.11 b/g, EGPRS, Bluetooth, and support for up to 16GB microSD card. Standby time is 11 days, and talk time is 5.4 hours on GSM, 4.2 hours on WCDMA, and yes, official colors are silver black, red and copper yellow.

Lastly, it’s the E55, which Nokia claims is the world’s thinnest smartphone, has a standby time of over a month, and is also the first Nokia device to feature a semi-QWERTY  keypad. Priced at 265 Euros, it is expected this summer. The phone sports a 2.4-inch QVGA screen, 3.2 megapixel camera, 3.5 mm headphone jack, 802.11 b/g, EGPRS, and Bluetooth 2.0. There will be 28 days of standby time for GSM and 19 days of standby time for WCDMA.

What’s interesting is that it seems that Nokia is aiming to establish the next ‘App Store’ for their devices, with the name of Ovi Store. Ovi Store offers users relevant (based on location and tastes) content ranging from applications to games to widgets. A developer site for the store has been launched, with developers being offered 70 per cent of revenue from sales of their apps from the store, a share similar to that being offered on the iPhone app store. Users of Symbian S40  and S60 devices will be able to access the store, which is expected to go into business this may.
