Nokia Really Joins The Smart Phone Race

The Nokia E63 has surfaced on Amazon.com for a pre-order price of $499, unlocked. You’ll remember the E63 as the tie-loosened, top-button-unbuttoned little brother to the more polished, business-oriented Nokia E71.

The E63 on Amazon is listed as the “International Version with No U.S. Warranty" while there’s an E71 being sold unlocked for $375.99 that’s listed as the “U.S. Version with Warranty.” There’s an international version of the E71 going for $454.99, which leads me to believe that if there were to be a US-specific version of the E63 offered, it’d likely cost less than the international version AND it’d have a warranty.

No word on an actual release date, but you can pre-order it if you’re interested.
