I was almost about to buy the the new Nokia E61i during the first day of the 3GSM 2007 (along with the Nokia E65 and the E90).

One of the newest members of the E-Series greatly improves on its predecessor, the aforementioned E61. It boasts easier to press keys, an integrated 2 megapixel camera, and a five-way navigator that replaces the fragile joystick. Instead of plastic, stainless steel makes this Symbian Series 60 smartphone more sturdy. And just like its older brother, the Nokia E61i has built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IR, and is 3G capable. Not to mention you get to surf the web in style with the wonderful Mini Map browser.

Let's just hope the yet-to-be-announced price isn't too expensive, and that the interface is as responsive as the E61's.

Thanks to the E-Series Blog for the wonderful picture and the heads-up.
