Another little smartphone that created quite a bit of interest was the AT&T exclusive Nokia E71x. Much like the original Nokia E71, the E71x is a very thin device weighing just under 4.5 ounces and comes with a 320 x 240 QVGA display, full QWERTY keyboard, 8 GB storage, high-speed 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. Mark Louison, President, Nokia Inc. said, “The E71x is a lean, mean multimedia machine for busy people who want Internet-on-the-go capabilities in the palm of their hands.”

This skinny Nokia comes with an upgraded Symbian S60 with Feature Pack 2 (which features a handy “Show open apps” option throughout all apps) as well as some AT&T services such as AT&T Music, AT&T Mail, and AT&T Navigator. It even has support for QuickOffice. The best feature is probably the new lower price of 100 USD after mail-in rebate. The Nokia AT&T E71x should become available within the next few weeks.

While the Symbian isn’t open source yet, that is due to change in the first half of this year.

The mobile phone, code named “Blue Earth” is the most earth-friendly mobile phone available in the market today! It is so friendly that even the plastic casing of the phone was taken from recycled materials.

In terms of functionality, Samsung’s Blue Earth have the latest technology that today’s cellphone industry have. Not quite sure of the technical specs but it was reported that it has the touch screen input that most mobile phone have.

Aside from the solar powered battery, Samsung’s Blue Earth also comes with a charger. So even though you can text and call all you want all day withough having to lose power, you can also do so at night when the sun is ‘sleeping’. With the charger, of course you can have power even at night time.
