While that no doubt appeals if you happen to be planning a trip up Everest or a an adventure along the Amazon, the majority of us just want to know if it's any good for email and calls. And you know what?

It just might be. A Windows Mobile 6.1 device with a 624Mhz PXA processor and high-speed HSDPA connectivity, it offers a full QWERTY keyboard, a 320 × 240 touch screen, 2.2GB of storage, a video-friendly 2 megapixel camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, a digital compass and Bluetooth. A specification every bit as solid as its casing.

And if it does happen to let you down, i-mate is offering a lifetime warranty, replacing the 810-F without a quibble. Look out for it in the coming weeks for an as-yet undisclosed price.

On Tuesday, Nokia announced the immediate availability of the E63 (in red or blue) at its flagship stores in New York and Chicago as well as independent retailers and e-tailers. The Symbian smartphone is sold as an unlocked phone for $279. While still expensive when compared with other subsidized smartphones, it's really quite a drop and much more affordable than Nokia's other unlocked phones, which range from $500 to $700.

The lower price point doesn't mean less features either. The E63 is stocked a full HTML Web browser with Flash support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 3G support, e-mail, and more. With the purchase of the Nokia E63, you also get a complimentary 12-month subscription to Nokia's Files on Ovi service, which includes 1GB online storage for your content.

According to Nokia, it expects to have evaluation units soon, so we'll have our full review up as soon as possible.

Looks pretty hot

eaked pictures below show that the Samsung Acme has a sleek and stylish exterior which has been taken from its bigger brother, the Samsung Omnia.

It is rumoured that it will include a 8 megapixel touchscreen cameraphone, which is no surprise for Samsung's standards. As well as attracting the click happy bunch, it also includes GPS, HDMI, WiFi, 3.5mm socket, is DNLA and DivX compatible and offers HD recording. It will come in 8GB and 16GB versions and is expected to be a bit on the pricey side.

Now, the specs sound all to familiar to its predecessor the Samsung Omnia, except for its memory boosting option of 16GB, so it comes at no shock that the some mobile phone experts have already been comparing it to the Apple iPhone. Apart from a few differences I can definitely see the similarities, however only time will tell when this is released to see how it stacks up to its rival.
