Nokia E62 is a cut down Nokia E61 for the American market. It has had various functionality removed, no WiFi, no 3G, and possibly even less enterprise mail capabilities. All rather curious considering that the E61 is quad band and hence quite capable in the globally. Whether the dumbed-down E62 specification is due to operator demands or plain cost-cutting - no 3G, no Qualcomm license fee; no WiFi, lower BoM; no Blackberry email, no RIM-tax - the reasoning is difficult to tell, perhaps it is a mixture of all these factors. One minor advantage of the E62 is that the it has mini-usb and 3.5mm headphone sockets instead of the E61's pop-port.
