Nokia's E61

Hot on the heals of Docomo's Blackberry announcement, Nokia Japan plans to release Japanese version of both the E60 and E61 business mobiles later this year. At this stage, they will be sold SIM free and direct from Nokia so will work with Docomo, Vodafone and any other carrier's U-SIM card. This also means there will be no heavy carrier subsidy so these little babies could set you back as much as ¥60,000. The E61 in particular is interesting as it offers many of the Blackberry features without the roaming restrictions. More details here.
