The E62 isnt nearly as cool as the E61 (no WCDMA, no WiFi), but the price looks pretty good.

Cingular to roll out Nokia's new E62 for $150
Tue Sep 12, 2006 8:51am ET
HELSINKI, Sept 12 (Reuters) - The world's top handset maker Nokia (NOK1V.HE: Quote, Profile, Research) said Cingular Wireless will start to sell its new E62 business phone model, a direct rival to RIM's (RIM.TO: Quote, Profile, Research) successful BlackBerry phones, for $149.99 later this month.
Cingular, a joint venture of AT&T (T.N: Quote, Profile, Research) and BellSouth (BLS.N: Quote, Profile, Research), is the largest mobile carrier in the United States.
In Finland, Nokia's home country, retailers sell the similar E61 model for an unsubsidised price of about 400 euros ($510).
The model is from Nokia's Enterprise division, which has suffered from falling sales in recent quarters due to a lack of new phones, but aims to be profitable in 2007.
