    Nokia E70 Approved by FCCNokia's Nokia E70 is finally approved by the folks at FCC! Woo-hoo! This baby is, of course, an E-series phone - targeted mostly at business types, and will soon be on its way to the USA. Nokia is pushing big with, ahem, push e-mail solutions including their own Nokia Business Center and BlackBerry Connect among others.

    The catch on this phone is the full-size keyboard. With nearly 75MB of available memory on the phone (and expandable up to 2GB via mini-SD card and provision for hot-swapping), the E70 offers WLAN. Being based on the S60 platform (running Symbian OS 9.1), you can never run short of applications and games on the phone.

    If you're not a WLAN afficianado, you always have good old GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA (that's 3G!) network connectivity to rely on. The E70 is a powerhouse that lets you take the office with you. Want entertainment? How about using the integrated MP3/AAC player and the mammoth mini-SD storage for it?

    The Nokia E70 also sports an obligatory camera, but this time it's bigger and better at 2 megapixels. PC sync options include USB 2.0, Bluetooth and Infrared. If that's not enough, the phone also features Push-To-Talk (PTT) capabilities.

    Great times ahead (so sue me, I'm a Nokia fanatic, Paul is but, he loves Nokia). Pricing and carrier availability are yet to be announced. It has been out in the UK for some time and now it's USA's turn, head to the E70 product page.
