Hasta La Gadget!

Despite its reliance on low-end feature phones and unlocked, almost-unattainable smartphones here in the U.S., Nokia remains the number one cell phone manufacturer worldwide. Today the company unveiled the E52, the latest in a long line of business-themed smartphones with a twist: a claimed eight hours of talk time and 28 days of standby time.

From the looks of it, the E52 isn’t packing a huge battery either–it’s just 0.4 inches thick. The handset comes with a 2.4-inch LCD, a 3G HSDPA data radio, built-in noise cancellation for improved call quality, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. There’s also an A-GPS radio, an FM radio for anyone who still cares, a standard-size 3.5mm headphone jack, and a Web browser with (get this) built-in Adobe Flash support.

Nokia is bundling in support for Nokia Messaging, Lotus Notes Traveler, and a VPN client for corporate types. No word yet on a U.S. launch, but the handset will be available later this summer for 245 euros in select markets in both silver and brown colors.
