Nokia E73 Mode rumored to land on T-Mobile June 16th

tmo-nokia-e73

AT&T made a pretty big splash last year when it launched the Nokia E71x, and now it appears that T-Mobile is hoping to do the same on June 16th. That’s the date Engadget has been informed T-Mobile will introduce a new, business-centric and Symbian-based QWERTY smartphone from Nokia known as the E73 Mode. Other than it will have 3G and Wi-Fi, concrete specs have yet to emerge (although we think it pretty safe to assume it will best the E72 based upon nothing but our knowledge of Nokia’s naming conventions). We’ll hit up some of our T-Mobile connects and try and find out what we can, but in the meantime please feel free to speculate at will.

    I just hope this time the trackpad is better, the one on the E72 sucked badly compared to what blackberry is offering.
    That was the only thing that I hated about my E72.

  • OpenSourceIsJustaPhrase

    What version of Android will be on this?

    • Jarrett

      I see what you did there.

      • Joey

        Most over-used saying ever.

      probably 1.5 like my goddamn slow as piss CLIQ

      • StevenGlansburg

        Just realized it was nokia and thus symbian… so it will be running TI-83 Graphing Calculator Font OS 2.3

    You are an idiot.

  • RJB

    This phone is for 50 year old middle management idiots who still have floppy disks lying around.

    • NuShrike

      Exactly, this phone is for people making real money, a lot of it, and need reliable and working PIM/PDA/email functionality that doesn’t require hours of hacking and constant reboots, and rather not use Blackberries.

    • Joel12304

      So 50 year olds in management are idiots? You sir are an idiot.

      Aren’t you one of those mods at HowardForums?

    They can update the phone all they want, but it’s the Nokia Messaging Service that lets the E-series down. Looks nice though.

  • FreeRange

    Wow – how exciting. Another blackberry look alike that is an antique before it is even launched.

    • Nate

      What’s your issue?

      You sound like someone is forcing you to buy this? You geeks need to stop obsessing and getting mad over products that don’t even concern you.

      Go make love to your radio powered robotic girlfriend powered by your MotoDroid and STFU already.

      • Skippity Bippity

        Wait.. If its not a touch screen, then how can I look cool when I use it? This wont increase my chances with women…pass

  • Jules

    Good phone for corporate use.

    I don’t need it but why knock it? It’s not designed for the touchscreen multimedia crowd.

  • Nate

    UMA is a rocking feature. Anyone ever need to make calls while outside the US back home on your mobile without incurring roaming charges knows what I mean. ;-)

    I go to the UK twice per year and have used this feature for some time.

    Also in our lab underground there is zero cell service from any provider. But with UMA we are able to utilize our WiFi network just fine.

    Totally underrated feature that if more people used would be better appreciated.

  • Sarah

    Glad to see that T-Mo US is not abandoning the UMA community. With this new Nokia and new Android powered phones with this feature my faith is renewed again. Very excited.

    • Anon

      I am so getting this as my travel phone. UMA is a fantastic feature, I am glad to see it making ways to something other than RIM devices (on the higher end).

    • Michael

      Which Android device has UMA? I was not aware of any current or future UMA enabled Andoid phones from T-Mobile.

      This is the one single feature I miss from my Blackberry as I’m now using a Motorola MB200 Cliq.

      I’ll ditch the Android for the Nokia with UMA lickity split ;)

  • Nando

    umm no thanks..

  • Dara

    Don’t forget the free lifetime navigation that Nokia offers with all their phones.

    Also, “Wifi calling” may not mean UMA.

    Nokia has a tendency to integrate VOIP into their smartphones. I’m not sure if T-Mobile is the type of carrier to nerf their phones, but if they don’t you’ll be able to click on a contact and select Voice, Video, or Internet call.

    My N series has pretty much paid for itself with free/cheap international calling (not to mention dodging overages at home), and it was an expensive phone.

    If the phone is truely a UMA device, I may switch back to T-Mob. I also like the idea of UMA calling with Android phones.

    If T-Mob moves their unlimited nights from 9pm to 8pm and has UMA on Nokia and/or Android 3G smartphones, I will definately switch from Sprint (SERO) to T-Mob.

    I have used the E71, purchased the E72 for my sis. But after using a Blackberry, trust me, Nokia has a long way to go. Doubt this model can even compete with anything RIM’s got out there.

  • Bit

    I have the N1 already, but still I’d love an unlocked/unbranded version of that phone.

  • Francisco

    Something to Upgrade to from my trusty E71?

    awesome.
