Nokia formally launched the Nokia E63, a more budget friendly full QWERTY smartphone designed as alternative to the Nokia E71. The Nokia E63 is designed for users who would like to better manage their life from the palm of their hand. Unlike the E71’s part-metal, the E63 uses plastic casing that also lets Nokia use brighter colors.Aside from the full QWERTY  keyboard, the Nokia E63 features a 2.36-inch 320×240 QVGA display, a 2-megapixel camera with digital zoom and LED flash, support for WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 and support for WCDMA 3G 900/2100 or 850/1900 or 850/2100 quad-band GSM networks.

The E63 has the ability to switch from business mode to personal mode. By simply pressing a single key, users can view corporate mail and appointments, pressing another key will enable the users to check pictures, email and shortcuts to favorite websites.
