Nokia E71 getting official this week?

One device conspicuously missing from Nokia's MWC and CTIA lineups this year has been the E71, the rumored successor to the E61i -- and for QWERTY S60 nerds, the next great hope. No worries, though; if the current rumor pans out, we won't have to wait for another major trade show for this thing to break cover. Dutch site Mobile Phone Helpdesk is claiming that "all arrows point" to an official launch on May 8 -- as in frickin' tomorrow. The site points out that alleged official specs have started appearing on retail sites, suggesting that Nokia's really starting to let its guard down as the ship date draws near. What are those specs, exactly? We can expect HSDPA, naturally, in addition to WiFi, a 3 megapixel cam, and an FM radio all bundled into a package that's supposedly just 10mm thick. Businessmen, businesswomen, we suggest you get your credit cards at the ready just in case this thing's suddenly available in a few hours.[Via Unwired View]

Well, I really like my Nokia E62, but the e-mail programs are not the best. With better e-mail, I would consider it when my contract is up later this year.

@Toledo Guy and others: Have you found that your E62 takes forever to send text messages?? And I agree that the email sync capabilities aren't the greatest. But I love the Symbian OS and UI..I would consider this phone as well..

I've had a couple of those symbian s60 phones and while they were robust devices the poor integration with outlook fields and categories drove me mad in the end.
In regards to the previous two comments - this was another problem, all of the phones seemed to be very slow in sending both text and emails.
