The Nokia E series have always been about phones sporting a full-row QWERTY keyboard in a candy-bar form factor.

While the Nokia E71 and the E63 were runaway success, the Nokia E72 was a mediocre hit. Now, pictures of the next E series handset has leaked on the Internet the E6-00.  One guy over at Nokiotecha Forums managed to get his hands on the E6-00, and took it for a test drive.

The Nokia E6-00 sports a 2.6-inch touch-screen display with VGA (640×480) resolution. The back of the handset sports an 8MP EDoF camera with dual-LED flash, while there is front-facing VGA camera in the front. The camera at the back is capable of shooting 720p HD videos as well.

The handset seems to be running a modified version of Symbian^3 OS, which will be adapted for the 4:3 aspect ratio.

Below is a video of the E6-00 in action :
