Umm, There’s an E71-3?

by Zach at 1:34 pm | August 07th, 2008 | Category: Handsets

So was I asleep when they announced this bad boy or is this news to you as well? In verifying an E71 spec this morning I noticed the block above on the E71 product page. WCDMA 850/2100? An in, a version that will work in the US and in Europe? As in, WCDMA Band V (Australia, Canada, USA, parts of South America, parts of Asia) and WCDMA Band I (Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania, Brazil)? Between this and the recent revelation that the N85 will have a tri-band WCDMA radio, it almost looks like Nokia is starting to like us over here on this side of the pond…

See for yourself.

All three were announced at launch - the product manager talked me through them at the London event.

Thanks Ben - I guess I slept through that part! I even pinged four Nokia / S60 bloggers prior to posting and they had heard nothing of it. I wonder if it's too late to send my -2 back... ;)

850 is used in places like japan (superG) and Australia (or was it new zealand?) where they already use 2100 networks as their original 3G network, but added 850 to expand to more areas. Sadly, I don't think Nokia was thinking of the US ;-)

I would like to see more 900/850/1900/1700/2100 3G chips - to cover all bases.

I notice more light leakage with the keyboard and the areas around the bottom of the screen than with the previous version.
