However, I was more than a little surprised when a colleague of mine handed me <a href="http://www.wsj.com">Wall Street Journal</a> from yesterday (Thursday, August 24) and pointed an article about Nokia E62 smart phone on the front page of the Marketplace section.</p> <p>&#160;</p> <p>Unfortunately for most of us (not having the paper version at hand) the article on wsj.com web site requires paid subscription. I am not going to quote any lines from the article, but a short summary is that the tone was positive, and both good and bad features were pointed out in comparison to other phones in that market segment (Treo, Blackberry, Q).</p> <p>&#160;</p> <p>Similar stories / reviews&#160;about this North American mini-qwerty-keyboard device have since popped up on <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14456766/">MSNBC</a>, <a href="http://www.teleclick.ca/2006/08/nokia-e62-big-competition-for-the-motorola-q/">Telecommunications Industry News</a>, and <a href="http://gearlog.com/blogs/gearlog/archive/2006/08/21/19009.aspx">Gearlog</a> to name a few. More complete (and more recent) listing of online news articles about E62 can be found through <a href="http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&amp;ned=&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=E62+Nokia">Google News search</a>.</p> <p>&#160;</p> <p><br />The funny part is that last time I checked, Nokia has not yet announced the device. Although it has been already for sometime the well-known secret of enterprise smart phone products. After all, the <a href="https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&amp;RequestTimeout=500&amp;calledFromFrame=N&amp;application_id=360804&amp;fcc_id='GMLRM-88A'">application for FCC approval</a> is public information and those documents were submitted already in April...</p> Enterprise S60 2006-08-25T20:28:44Z hartti
