Nokia has today announced its E51 successor – the E52. We were kinda sad when we heard that Nokia would discontinue the E51 in favour of the half-QWERTY toting E55 that was announced at MWC in February. And lo, Nokia has taken us offguard with the E52 which looks as sexy as the E51 and comes with some cool new features as well.

The E52 boasts of up to 8 hours of talktime and 23 days of standby time! It also comes with a 3.2 MP shooter, A-GPS and HSDPA connectivity. It is estimated to hit shelves in the second half of the year at an estimated price of Euro 245 before taxes and subsidies.

We say, give the E55 a miss and wait for the E52!
