Nokia Japan announced today that Nokia E61 Japanese version will be released within this year, in several weeks. Nokia E61 is a smartphone with a full keyboard like a Blackberry. It’s Nokia’s second smartphone released in Japan.
Unlike most Japanese cell phones, it is open to every SIM card (only a designated SIM card is available in most Japanese cell phones) so you can use NTT DoCoMo, Softbank or any other cell phone carrier in the world with the E61. Besides cell phone services, a WiFi antenna is also installed in it, and you can enjoy high-speed data transmission service as well at every hotspot.
It will cost 54,800 JPY (57,540 JPY with consumption tax) at Japan’s Nokia stores or online. I miss it.
