Better official than unofficial huh Nokia? Not long after being filmed and leaked on YouTube, Nokia has made official announcements for two of its handsets one being the E72and the other is 5530 XpressMusic at Connection 2009 Singapore. As stated before, the E72 is indeed the next in line to the E71. It has 10.2 Mbps streaming subject of course to network support, an integrated compass, S60 3rd Edition and FP2 with a 5 Megapixel camera to boot. The XpressMusic installment, the 5530, although not as shiny as the E72 is nevertheless an EDGE phone device with 3.2 megapixel camera and 640 x 360 touchscreen. It has Wi-Fi but lacks 3G so we’re like Nokia who have you been dating? I mean you give us 10. Mbps but no 3G? What’s up with that? The E72 and 5530 XpressMusic should be out in the third quarter for about $489 and $278, respectively.

Now for those E71 owners who have been suffering from E71x envy, there seems to be news to gloat over in your own right. According to the ever vigilant Russian blogger, Eldar Murtazin, Nokia is getting ready to release another new version of the device that will not only carry FP2 along with it, but a 5 megapixel camera and new color options as well. Alright, so the E71 3.2 megapixel camera sucks when compared to other shooters of the same caliber, but why on earth would we object to improvements of any kind? This will all become true in the form of an E71i, which can be yours if you be good and wait patiently till September or October. Unless of course you prefer to sign 2 years of your life away for an awesome looking E71x that will run you a mere penny.

The guys at BGR have been tipped that a “swiveling E71-type handset” is coming to Verizon Wireless sometime in July/August. As you can see, it will be swiveling QWERTY Nokia handset. no word on the OS, and the image you see is a mock up the tipster made based on first impressions.

If didn’t like the white steel and grey editions of the Nokia E71 from AT&T then we have good news. Seen on the Nokia website for Europe is the N71 in two, count ‘em, two new colors! Black and Red. The purchase options don’t yet include these new colors but I guess they are waiting for stock to arrive. Well there is dangling candy in front of a kid for you. The red set is not all red but is accentuated with silver and looks like cupid will be buying! It’s his color and Valentine’s Day is near. As purchase options are not yet available for the new sets there is no way to tell if Nokia will charge a premium for the new schemes. Of course since many are awaiting the arrival of the E71x from AT&T one may as wonder why go for the older version just because it’s in a new color. Perhaps that’s why it’s only up and about in Europe and not in the North American region. But I guess it depends on you either being loyal to you model or a collector of them.
