A German web site called NokiaPort.de has uploaded the following image claiming it to be a fake:
I personally do not know how to classify it; as the folks at NokiaPort aren’t quite sure about what to do with it. However, the following things speak for the image’s authenticity:
The c button
The C button has a weird little distortion at the right side. This reminds me of my N71’s keys - the text on the keys eventually rubs off…especially on a prototype device!
Lens distortions
Looking at the black bottom rim, one can clearly see orange color abberations - this could well mean that we are looking at a real device.
As no similar Nokia device currently is on the market and the E65 is being sold off, it’s very probable that this is a real device. But - as said - no confirmation for now…
Fake or not? Please let us know!

The next E5x phone won’t be a thick slider, it’ll maintain the same physique as the E50 and E51: slim candybar. That in itself should be a dead giveaway that this is a fake. Not to mention the regress to joystick from D-pad and the E50 button layout as opposed to the E51’s layout.
It’s sad to see that many mobile communication websites are seriously contemplating if this could be the real thing.
As for the color abberations, it is in all likelihood a real picture (of a Nokia slider) to start with, and then modified.
The E6x will remain Nokia’s E-sliders for the immediate future, not the E5x series.
Hi Johnson,
do you have any photos of the real device maybe?
Best regards and big thanks for talking back
