Nokia announced it will bring a U.S. optimized version of the Nokia E63 to the North American market. The Nokia E63 will be available in the coming weeks.

The Nokia E63 combines a QWERTY keypad, 3G network speeds and the open source operating system Symbian S60 3rd Edition, allowing consumers the ability to download third party applications to customize their device.

The Nokia E63 also comes with the ability to switch modes with the press of a button - allowing consumers to customize two separate home screens, e.g., one for work and one for play. Each home screen can be personalized with applications such as a digital music player, video player, camera functionality, games, and corporate or personal email including Mail for Exchange, Lotus Notes and a variety of standard consumer ISPs.  A full HTML browser with Flash support rounds out the feature set of the Nokia E63, letting consumers check their favorite websites, blogs and social networks.

The Nokia E63 also comes with a Files on Ovi subscription of 1GB of online file storage for free. Files on Ovi is a service where people can get remote access to their PC files even when their computer is offline. The "Anytime Files" feature provides the user the opportunity to keep the most current version of each file synchronized so that it is available to be accessed by a remote device.
