Nokia E63 announced; mass market QWERTY device

The Nokia E63 has keys that are slightly larger than the E71, the casing is now plastic instead of stainless steel, the dedicated on/off button is gone (the end key serves this purpose as it does on many standard cellphones), there is now a standard 3.5mm headset jack (why couldn't this have been on the E71?), there is no GPS receiver or infrared port, and the camera is now 2 megapixel with no auto focus. It appears the device does not have the higher speed HSDPA support, but rather limits out at UMTS speeds. A subscription to Files on Ovi with a 1GB account is provided with the device for remote file access.

While the device may appear to be a step down from the E71, it is also going to be priced 40% less than the E71 was when it was released so it may be a very reasonable trade-off for those looking for a rather inexpensive enterprise phone. You can find the Nokia E71 for just around US$400, which to me is an inexpensive device for all the power it contains.
