Rumor has it Nokia's E71 smartphone may soon find a home with AT&T, as the
BGR has posted some leaked images of the E71 with an AT&T logo. This is good news for those who've been jonezin’ for the tablet-style QWERTY model but have balked at paying full price.
Nokia released the North American-friendly edition of the business smartphone back in July. The problem is you've had to pay full price, $459, for the Symbian/S60 phone, as it's only been available unlocked directly from Nokia and not through a wireless carrier.
The same source that leaked the images says the AT&T edition of the E71 should go for only $150 with a 2-year contract.
The E71, which at .39 inches thick is one of the slimmest QWERTY smartphones on the market, is a quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900), HSDPA (850/1900) 3G world phone that you can use to make calls and access data almost anywhere in the world. It integrates Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth 2.0 with support for wireless stereo headsets.
Additional features include support for microSDH storage expansion cards and a 3.2 megapixel camera with, like many other Nokia devices, a Carl Zeiss lens.
There's also a 320 x 240-pixel resolution QVGA display above the keyboard.
The E71 is Nokia's follow up to the E61 and E62, which AT&T offered back in its Cingular days.
