Nokia E55 hits the FCC if the E52 isn't your style

So you're like, "man, I love the E52 -- I just wish it had more... keys!" Yeah? Well, there's a phone for that, and it just passed the FCC. The "dash 1" variant of the E55 just garnered approval from the American powers that be, but sadly, this particular unit is a special kind of useless in the States because it's doing HSPA on 900 and 2100MHz alone. That's not to say you couldn't use it on EDGE in the Western Hemisphere, but what's the fun in that?

@FILT3R: Why what?? Why make a seriously sexy phone that, granted, doesn't have a full QWERTY keyboard? Get an E63, E71, E72, or E75...

@carcomptoy I agree. This phone is awesome!
Losers like FILT3R don't know what they want.

That's disappointing that it lacks 3G here. I was really looking fwd to this phone, although I was not really expecting it to have US 3G. I kind of thought the phone had gotten discontinued, its been so long since we heard it announced.

Shame, was going to get this as a second phone and sell the E71 (despite how much I love it and how sexy it is) because I don't use it as much as my Touch Pro.
