Today Nokia announced the E73 Mode, a QWERTY smartphone that is making its U.S. debut on T-Mobile.
The E73 Mode offers WiFi, a 5 megapixel camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack, GPS, a full WebKit-based web browser, and support for Mail for Exchange, IBM Lotus Traveler, and more. The device also supports Nokia's Ovi Maps for free voice-guided turn-by-turn directions. For business users, it comes preloaded with Ovi Files, QuickOffice, Adobe PDF Manager, and ZIP manager, so that files and email attachments can be opened quickly right out of the box.
The E73 Mode has a function that allows users to switch between two defined themes on the fly. Corporate users, for example, can have one setting show their work email and calendar on the homescreen while they're at work, and then switch to a homescreen that provides shortcuts for the media player and chat clients when they go home.
The Nokia E73 Mode will retail for $70 on T-Mobile USA beginning on June 16th with a 2-year contract.
