Nokia has announced the Nokia E63, a trimmed down version of its A-listed E71.

The E63 trades in the E71's slick metal body for plastic and drops the HSDPA connection for Edge network support.

The camera also recieves a downgrade, dropping from 3.2 megapixel to 2 megapixels, and there's no infrared.

Elsewhere it inherits much of its big brother's specification, including the 320 x 240 QVGA screen, QWERTY keyboard, microSD slot and 110 MB of internal memory. It also supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Nokia is touting a talktime of around 11 hours for the device, and 432 hours standby.

The E63 is expected to cost somewhere in the region of £163, and will be available in a couple of weeks.
