Nokia Tailors E71, E66 for Mobile E-mail

Nokia made an appeal to mobile e-mail addicts on Monday with the launch of two new phones designed specifically to ease the process of checking e-mail in on the go. With support for a vast array of different e-mail protocols, the Nokia E71 and E66 allow users to check both work and personal e-mail with a one-touch setup.

The duo support the common Microsoft Exchange format (popular for work addresses), along with the less-common System Seven and Visto Mobile formats, and even popular personal e-mail services like Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, and Hotmail. After entering the necessary setup information, users are able to pull up e-mail with a single touch, and switch between a work screen and personal screen just as easily.

Though both devices come wrapped in stainless steel bezels, each takes a different approach to user input. The slim E66 gets a smattering of important buttons on the outside and a slide-out numeric keypad inside, while the E71 gets a full QWERTY keyboard outside in exchange for a little more bulk. The E66 also gets an orientation sensor to rotate the screen intelligently and silence the ringer when it’s turned over.

Besides e-mail, both phones also get a host of features that have become near standard on new Nokia offerings, including HSPDA Internet access and a built-in browser, Wi-Fi, Assisted GPS, Nokia Maps, and a 3.2-megapixel camera.

Nokia says both phones will begin shipping in “key markets” (most likely Europe to begin with) in July. Both phones will sport similar price tags of about €350 ($540.68 USD).

Is a $500 OnePlus Watch 3 still worth buying? The answer is complicated

A person wearing the OnePlus Watch 3.

The OnePlus Watch 3’s price has suddenly increased to $500, but we reviewed the smartwatch when it cost $330. It hasn’t become a different device overnight, no additional features have been added, and it doesn’t come with a solid gold bracelet. OnePlus has not made a comment on why the price has increased, but as it has (so far) only increased in the U.S., it’s fairly safe to assume the price increase is due to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, as the OnePlus Watch 3 is made in China.

The question now becomes, is the OnePlus Watch 3 worth $500 and should you still buy it? The answer is complicated.
The OnePlus Watch 3 is excellent

Snag a classy, $185 Citizen hybrid smartwatch with this 47% discount

The white version of the Citizen CZ Smart hybrid smartwatch.

If you want a smartwatch with old school charm, you can get a hybrid. No, it's not a vehicle type, but rather a watch that combines analog features with digital smarts. When you compare an Apple Watch against hybrid watches, you can really see that there are many advantages to hybrids. If you're intrigued, you might want to get started with this deal we've found on the Citizen CZ Smart Gen 1 Hybrid. The white version of the smartwatch is discounted to just $185 after a $165 discount from the usual $350. You can also get the blue version for $203. Tap the buttons below to see the watches for yourself or keep reading to see why this is the smartwatch deal to beat if you're interested in hybrids.

Why you should buy the Citizen CZ Smart Gen 1 Hybrid
With the Citizen CZ Smart Gen 1 Hybrid, you're getting the best of both worlds. In the old world, you're getting a watch designed by Citizen, a well-known watchmaker, with an elegant case and real watch hands. Behind those hands lies a digital display and the smarts of the watch. It has all of the features that you want from a smartwatch, such as a weather display and heart rate monitor, as well as some fitness features like calories burnt and an activity tracker. The Citizen CZ Smart Gen 1 Hybrid smartwatch has a 15 day battery life, so you can easily use features like sleep monitoring night after night without needing to use that time for recharging instead. It's worth noting that, when this watch was first released, we thought that the CZ Smart features were enough to make hybrids good, but the (not-on-sale) original price was too high. Today's deals change the game and make the Citizen CZ Smart really worthy of your attention.
