A few more shots of the upcoming AT&T's Nokia E71x have surfaced today, and of course we couldn't ignore them. Apparently the phone will be launched in a week or two, and will cost somewhere between $150 and $200 after rebate.

Thank goodness they didn't downgrade it's functionality, as E71x has the same features as the original.

The three Nokia XpressMusic handsets that we've seen yesterday have reappeared in today's hands-on videos. If you're interested in any of them, here's a good chance for you to take a better look at each of the models.

And here's another video demonstration of a Nokia smartphone, this time it's E75. Enjoy.
