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?

We doubt you need a translation to figure out what's going on here, but to summarize: the crew at mobile@mail.ru managed to get what they're saying is an exclusive hands-on with a red Nokia E55. It's the same compact QWERTY phone you've grown to love vicariously through photos and video, only now with a little rouge. Check out the read link for more pics.

Nokia E55 'compact QWERTY' smartphone unveiled

by Ross Miller posted Feb 16th 2009 @ 3:55AM

Nokia's just announced what it's calling the "world's thinnest smartphone," the E55. They're calling it a compact QWERTY keyboard, but let's be honest, it's SureType. According to the press release, it's got 28 days of standby time in its battery, as well as full Nokia Maps and assisted GPS with integration. Look for it this summer for 265 euros unsubsidized.

Update: New details from the fact sheet. The 28 days of standby applies to GSM -- it drops to 19 days on WCDMA -- and talk time for GSM / WCDMA is 8 and 6 hours, respectively. The phone sports a 2.4-inch QVGA screen, 3.2 megapixel camera, 3.5 mm headphone jack, 802.11 b/g, EGPRS, and Bluetooth 2.0.
