Gadget Venue has a post up today about the Nokia E63 which was unveiled by Nokia this week.

The exact release date has yet to be confirmed but the specs of the phone reveal a real competitor to the E71 Business Phone.

The E63 should operate in exactly the same way as the E71 as it runs Symbian 9.2 S60 version 3.2 software too, however the new touch sensitive Navi-Wheel which encircles the traditional d-pad should make it even easier to flip between menus and screens.

We posted way back in July about how the Nokia N96 was launching in the UK but it’s taken months to actually reach launch status.

Checking a few of the major UK retailers and doing some research by calling up some local stores we were able to find out that the Nokia N96 will be released within the next two weeks.

Most of the retailers don’t seem to have any information on their websites when we called up Phones4u they said they are taking pre-orders on the Nokia N96. Carphone Warehouse don’t seem to have a page up as far as we could find.

Design

The Nokia E66 is a classy business slider cell phone offering tight feel to the shell and slides open through a smooth click. The device also does not have a seamlessness of the Samsung Slider and is also not a small device, but you will like the usability through the extra added width with some added weight to make it feel solid.

Web browsing and navigation

The browser of Symbia S60 that Nokia uses in their high end handset is one of the best in the market. The pages would load pretty fast through the HSDPA network and you will also find it faster then the EDGE connection. Once the web pages are loaded the browser would handle them with assurance. The layout is also very good as the browser can also scroll through long pages very quickly. The GPS sensor used in E66 is also very sensitive that can find you in minutes. However the voice guidance and navigation system might cost you a bit extra on the unlocked devices of Nokia but the Nokia Maps 2.0 is yet another impressive piece of software that can help you with navigation.
