Camera Phones Plaza

Two weeks ago, during the World Mobile Congress which was held in Barcelona, Nokia issued a press release that announced the introduction of two new devices to its Eseries range. They were named Nokia E75 and Nokia E55, being the first two cell phones to be equipped with the new email user interface developed by the Finnish company.



The Nokia E55 was said to become available in two color versions at the time: black and white. But it seems that Nokia wants to make the phone hotter than it already is, making it red. This isn’t an official information, but there are some leaked photos that are circulating over the Internet which make us believe that the news is true.

Due to its history with red Eseries cell phones (you probably remember the red E71, the red E75 or the partially red E63), we are tempted to think that Nokia is indeed in a red mood these days. The pictures with the new red cell phone were spotted at a Russian website, mobile.mail.ru, unveiling a quite pretty device.



Being presented as “the world’s most compact messaging device”, the Nokia E55 comes with a compact QWERTY keyboard, one click access to the programs the user uses most commonly, the Symbian S60 3.2 Edition, full Nokia Maps, assisted GPS with a license for turn-by-turn directions that is to last 3 months, N-Gage for the ultimate gaming experience, a 2.4 inch QVGA display with 16 million colors, a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, a 3.5mm headset jack and a digital compass.



The red cell phone is approximately 9.9 millimeters thick, but it manages to include a 1500 mAh battery that provides no more than 8 hours of talk time and up to 28 days of standby time. As far as the availability is concerned, we were told in the press release that Nokia E55 will start selling in the second quarter of 2009, when it will retail for 265 Euros (meaning $336). What we don’t know for sure is whether the red version will be given the same treatment or not.
