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.

Device Description:

The Nokia 7510 Supernova is a fold phone with iconic and fashionable design with changeable covers, supporting GSM 850/900/1800/1900. The Nokia 7510 Supernova features Series 40 6th Edition, WebKit Open Source Browser, Nokia Maps 1.2, push-to-open key, FM RDS Radio, Flash Lite 3.0, Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR and MIDP Java 2.1 with additional Java APIs.

Nokia is obviously prepping a new lady-centric lineup called Supernova. The new collection will include Nokia 7610, Nokia 7510 and surprisingly Nokia 7310 which was initially rumored as 7310 classic. We remind you that as we already reported although the Nokia 7310 is still not officially announced, it's been spotted at several online shops available for immediate purchase.

The Polish Nokia website incidentally revealed the three new Supernova Nokia handsets which were later on removed. The great surprise was the mentioning of the Nokia 7310 Supernova, which was rumored (and even sold online) as Nokia 7310 classic.

The Nokia 7310 Supernova is based on the Nokia S40 user interface and sports a 2 megapixel camera, a 2.2-inch 16M color QVGA display, a built-in FM radio, stereo Bluetooth and a 3.5mm audio jack.
