it was the same as the picture of that guy holding one, shiny, the back was like carbon fibre looking with that carbon type of pattern in it.
that was kind of what confused me, i had a quick search when i got the call, found that picture online and didnt see much spec info, then when i saw it in person it looked different...if i dont buy it tomorrow i'll take some pictures as it's gone from being a phone i wasnt that bothered with to now i really want it....not good.
BobaFett,
probably a test version that would be fine when the firmware is updated to an RTM software version fit for public use....but again, i'm not 100%

Sorry but designa and general looks were just plain awful/ugly imo. i still prefer E70/6800/6820 design more than this thing in fact Nokia's most unique form factor was the hinge keyboard used on those old phones(referring on 6800). even E90 looks better than this. E60/E61/E62/E71's form factor doesn't look unique to me as well, more of a blackberry ripoff if you ask me  the E7x series is not well suited for this form sorry

might have been against the design myself if hadnt been debating a Blackberry for a while now, but there's been too many things missing from my wish list to let it replace my N95...this E71 ticks all the boxes and arrives at just the right time. hopefully the 3.2MP camera is close to the N95's for still images, if the video is 30fps that'll be a bonus & TomTom better work on it too...but the main thing i'm hoping for is a decent battery life!
if we get Blackberry services working on top of all that i wont be complaining at all...right now the stats are making it better than any current Blackberry device available which is pretty good going for any make.
also, that mock up image of the phone is actually an artist impression which is really nothing like the actual product, the finish is completly wrong, it's more of a mirror finish with carbon fibre effect.

@T-shark:
Unless Nokia will brought back the usual E7x form factor(like the E70) the phone will not be special looks wise

Plenty of phones have no space between keys and they are fine.
Anyway still no sign of the E71!!!!!

Close keys are a problem if the keypad is flat. But on the e71 pic you can see the keypad buttons are convex and stick out in the middle.
Wonder if this phone will make it in time for q2 like the leaked info shows? |

yeah, they stick out, but for my taste a bit small. maybe its firn for akids fingers, but i had sometimes problems with typing even on e61i ( but still the best qwerty kepypad i ever seen )

I think its now more about feeling out the correct key then pressing it. |

I thought the BB 8800 had a stupidly small keyboard with its tiny keys but in actual usage it was better than it looked due the raised edge which curved across the middle of the key combined with a good tactile response. I'd still prefer the keys to be slightly bigger but I find you really need to try the keyboard out in the flesh to judge how good it is.

Some details abt E66 from MR
This slider reminded me of the Nokia E65 in a way – no solid grounds for this, just similar colors and dimensions, and other than that they couldn’t be further apart. While the former is a S60-powered smartphone, the W760 is a feature phone running A200. Nevertheless, I find the spirits of these two phones uncannily close. Had the W760i hit the market earlier, it would have been an interesting addition to the Sony Ericsson K850i, yet with no frills in the way of camera. June will see the debut of the Nokia E65’ successor – Dora, that comes in a more diminutive casing and feels great (it is a tad steeper than the Sony Ericsson W760, but it beats it on many fronts). That’s how come you “wow” at the phone’s games and motion sensor at first, but after some time the excitement fades away and you end up with a run-of-the-mill slider on your hands, even not quite unique as far as design goes.
