Nokia has finally launched a full keyboard phone with instant email synching. This might look a little too much like the New BlackBerry Curve but that is a good thing. However this device has wifi and thats a beautiful thing. This is a Quad-band GSM/EDGE bad boy with coverage pretty much anywhere you might need it (850/900/1800/1900). The 2.8” QVGA landscape active-matrix color display is stunning and supports up to 16 million colors (320 x 240 pixels)

Nokia has always been the big player in Europe but this device might just get them competing with Motorola if they decide to launch it here in the states, lets hope they do as a full tactile keyboard is something to behold.
