Nokia announced the E66 and E71 mobile phones, successors to the successful E65 & E61i. They are sleek business phones; while the E66 sports a slider form factor the E71 sticks to its bar-type form factor with a QWERTY keypad. The E66 has been upgraded with A-GPS and Google maps along with its features getting a face-lift.
