Thanks to the people at Nokia Womworld, the best surprise of the day has just arrived – a pre-production E63 (the model we caught a glance of unofficially the other week) not even in final packing! I’ll be trying it out and reporting back.
Looking much like an E71, it has a 3G chip-set, an all-plastic housing, a 2MP camera and a 3.5mm headphones connection (at last!), but no internal GPS. They keyboard’s slightly different too!
Certainly looks prettier in red than the black one we saw.
The headphone socket lives under that removable plastic ‘lug’, which isn’t attached so will get lost pretty quickly I think. Regardless, if you’re not a headphones user, it’s a nice touch to keep dust out.
Oooooh shiny!!! Can't wait for your comments Ben!

I hate the fact that I have exams and no time to write.
Nice picks. And the phone looks nice as well ;-). Could be my next one if Nokia doesn't come up with a N-series that has more to offer than my current N95.
I'm very jealous… must make sure the womworld folks know who I am for next time they dish out the handset love!

I believe this is the first Eseries to have a standard 3.5mm audio jack. Interesting.
