Nokia E75 with sideways-sliding QWERTY keyboard gets photographed

Is this the Nokia E75?

Is this the Nokia E75?

The guys over at DailyMobile.se have posted some pretty high quality photos of what is reported to be the E75, the first Nokia smartphone to feature a sideways slide-out QWERTY keyboard. This device was first spotted back in September in a youtube video with another as-yet unannounced smartphone, the E72. These photos showing up at this particular moment suggest that we might actually see some sort of official announcement regarding the E75 at next month's Mobile World Congress Show in Barcelona, Spain.

We don't really know anything about possible specs for the E75, and, truth be told, we don't even know if it will ever be announced (hey, it's happened before). But either way, there is one thing we are certain of: we want one. Now.

But just in case this one doesn't make it to market, there's always the similar looking (and similarly unannounced) Nokia 5730 that we highlighted earlier this week.
