Wow, I’m remiss.  I didn’t even know this thing was coming out, but yup, here it is.  Starting today you can pick up your very own ‘the world’s slimmest QWERTY smartphone’, the Nokia E71.  Surprisingly, Nokia is actually selling these at their stores in NY and Chicago, where as here in LA they’ve got stores, but don’t sell anything -  at least at the dreary Beverly Center that’s the case.

If you dare, an Amazon vendor has it for $612 + $5 S&H, but now warranty.
