Nokia E73 Mode brings Wi-Fi calling
Nokia kept itself in the news this morning by launching the E73 Mode (link up soon). The phone is the first genuinely new Eseries device made just for a US carrier and gives T-Mobile customers Wi-Fi calling; Hotspot Calling customers can get better reception and free minutes when at home or on T-Mobile's public access points. Preloaded apps are just as important with both the usual Ovi Maps and Ovi Store services as well as access to Bloomberg, Lotus Traveler, Salesforce and other tools for editing and viewing work files.
The Mode is similar in many ways to the E72 and has a 5-megapixel camera with a flash, 3G, GPS and microSDHC storage. A windshield car mount takes advantage of the free Ovi Maps turn-by-turn GPS by keeping the phone in view. It reaches T-Mobile on June 16 and will cost $70 with a two-year contract.
