Nokia E71 in the wild?

Looks legit enough, doesn't it? The supposed successor to the E61i has broken cover via this shot of the device -- in prototype "EXX" form, no less -- being proudly displayed in some lucky son of a gun's hand. The "E" moniker designates a Nokia smartphone with a business slant, of course, and thanks to a lovely QWERTY board, the E71 seems to be no exception; specs on the E51-ish device are said to be pretty much in line with what we'd expect for a circa-2008 piece, including HSDPA, WiFi, GPS, and a 3.2 megapixel primary cam with a secondary up front for video calling. As for North American 3G, well... as usual, we can only hope. We're not sure whether this thing will break officially here at CES, but if it does, you'll be the first to know.

People!
This phone will be absolutely shot!
It have all attributes for an ideal business compact phone: size and shape (candy bar retainable in hand, very thin-10 mm in the middle, QWERTY with convex keys, big screen, perfect scroll and navigations keys (message, calender, contacts etc.).
Also it have as I can see lot of switches on the side and extraordinary shape not extremely prominent
on the upper and lower part of housing which contribute to handling!
If they put some metal parts in body (like E51 silver) it will be an ideal phone!
Bravo Nokia!
