There is a new phone in town and they go by the name of the Nokia E75. The Nokie E75 is the latest handset from the Nokia E-Series. This is the first device to ship with the new email user interface, offering full desktop email functionality, and complete integration of Nokia’s email and messaging services.

The Nokia E75 has a slide out QWERTY keyboard and efficient three-step email setup. This simplicity is achieved with the integration of Nokia Messaging, which ships with a device for the first time in the Nokia E75. Nokia Messaging is a service that opens up the world’s leading consumer email accounts - including Yahoo! Mail, Gmail and Windows Live Hotmail - and is joined by Nokia’s corporate email clients, Mail for Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes Traveler, which provide direct access to over 90 percent of the world’s corporate inboxes as well.

The Nokia E75 also integrates tightly to other Ovi services and ships with Ovi Files, for storing files online, Nokia Maps, which works with the onboard A-GPS, and Nokia’s games service N-Gage which is supported for the first time in a Nokia Eseries device.

The Metal Gear Solid game for handsets was first announced back in May, but it has only now become available for purchase.

In case you don’t know, MGS is a popular first-person shooter game for computer, playstation, and other consoles. So it is obvious that this recent mobile version will become pretty famous too. It was developed by Ideaworks3D, and taking in consideration the quality of the graphics when compared to other games, it can be said they did a good job.

As announced previously, Metal Gear Solid is only compatible with the N-Gage platform, and you can use the camera to look around while playing. Download a demo version for free, or buy the real one for $8.

If you are at the Game Developers Conference 2008 in San Francisco, you might have noticed the increasing efforts going on in the mobile gaming space. With a host of games on the N-Gage platform, Nokia is making its presence felt yet again. Some of the new titles include The Dark Knight, SPEED RACER and Super Slam Ping Pong by Glu Mobile; DChoc Café(TM) Solitaire 12-Pack, DChoc Café(TM) Sudoku and DChoc Café(TM) Hold’ Em Poker by Digital Chocolate and Worms World Party by THQ Wireless.

Nokia Games Publishing will also be bringing us Yamake, Disk Dagger and Fallen Idol, a detective adventure game. Anybody know if Digger (yeah, that classic old PC game) is available for mobile phones - specifically the Nokia S60 series? I’ve been looking for it all over.

The GDC 2008 will be on show tomorrow as well, so you can also catch a series of mobile lectures and case studies by Nokia executives. All the action will be at the North Hall of the Moscone Convention Center.

Nokia announced that Nokia N81 users would get a pre-release preview of the new Nokia N-Gage (called the Nokia N-Gage First Access) before Christmas. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. According to the N-Gage blog:

Unfortunately, as can sometimes happen in software development, unexpected difficulties can occur. We have been doing an internal run with more than 1,000 global testers this week, and during this process we uncovered an issue we feel we need to address. Overall, the games and service are working smoothly, but because of this issue, we feel we could not release N-Gage First Access before the holidays as planned.

Don’t make us wait too long, Nokia. We might forget all about N-Gage in a few months’ time, after all.
