USA – Nokia has just delivered word that the E63 is now available in the US, hot on the heels of announcing the 5630 XpressMusic earlier today. The more extroverted sibling of the E71, the E63 is making its Stateside debut in Nokia’s flagship stores in New York and Chicago, and via other online retailers for just $279.

Keenly focussed on championing its talents as a social networking and professional messaging device, the Nokia E63 has adopted the key talents of the E71, but slimmed down on the feature list, enabling it to launch at such a reduced price – the only casualties being the 3.2 megapixel camera (replaced with a 2 megapixel shooter), and no GPS. Other than that, and the fact that the E63 is available dipped in pots of red or blue paint, it’s virtually identical to the E71.
