Nokia's QWERTY slider E75 spotted in the wild again

In the "form factors Nokia hasn't fully explored, but probably should" bucket, side-sliding QWERTY candybars ranks pretty dang high on the list, so we're delighted to see that -- as far as we can tell, anyway -- Espoo's still hard at work banging out the details of its E75. We're told to expect WiFi (naturally), a 3.2-megapixel camera, and a 2.4-inch display, but more importantly, you've got a generous keyboard that should give the S740 a serious run for its money. We're a bit concerned about usability on a totally flush keyboard like this (E90 anyone?), but hey, maybe that's the reason it hasn't been announced yet, right?

I am not much into the keys flush up against one another. I prefer some space. This phone looks decent enough, though. The S60 OS,. though while the most popular, really needs a re-tooling. HTC even made WinMo6x usable with Their UI makeover.

I quite like the current s60 interface, but it certainly does look aged, and it would be good to see something new :)

Isn't this one a little too thick?
Prefer a bigger touch screen plus a side-sliding qwerty. XD
