Nokia E63 now official, available in the next few weeks for €199

After appearing several times in leaked images, Nokia E63 is now finally official, as the Finnish company has just announced its upcoming release.

Built as a poorer version of the E71, Nokia E63 will be available starting the next few weeks, for the retail price of only €199 (about $253).

The E63 has two color versions, ruby red and ultramarine blue, and, of course, it hasn’t got as many features as the more expensive E71.

Nokia tries to reach a broader audience with the new Eseries device, and that’s definitely a good thing, as we don’t see too many smartphones to come for prices under €200.

Alongside a full QWERTY keyboard, Nokia E63 also features:

• A 2.36 inch TFT display with 16 million colors and 320 x 240 pixels
• Symbian S60, version 3.1
• Quad band GSM connectivity (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz)
• Dual band UMTS connectivity
• Wi-Fi
• HTML browser
• Email
• Nokia Maps
• Files on Ovi
• Bluetooth 2.0
• A 3.5mm headset jack
• Music player
• FM radio with RDS
• A 2 MP camera (no autofocus)
• 110MB of internal memory
• MicroSD & MicroSDHC card support, up to 8GB  
• 126 grams
• 113 x 59 x 13 mm

As you can see, there is no GPS, and no HSDPA connectivity, so the 3G of Nokia E63 will be limited to speeds of only 384 Kb/s. But I guess you can’t have them all for such a low price.

There will be three versions of the new Eseries smartphone: Nokia E63-1, Nokia E63-2 and Nokia E63-3, the difference between then being the UMTS bands they work on (900 / 2100 MHz, 850 / 1900 MHz or 850 / 2100 MHz).
