    Nokia E55 is Supermodel Skinny, Only Has Half a QWERTY

    The E55 is superficially similar to the BlackBerry Pearl, with its low-profile design and half-QWERTY keyboard. The main difference? The E55 is hilariously slim, at just under 1cm.

    Otherwise the specs are solid, midrange smartphone, with a definite focus on messaging. Gallery and full feature list below. [Giz at MWC]
