As the new business-class torchbearers in Nokia’s smartphone lineup, it only stands to reason that the new E66 and E71 would support BlackBerry connectivity out of the box. After all, the E61, E61i, E62, and E65 all did, thanks to RIM’s BlackBerry Connect client and the sobering realization that just such a software package is the only way for some employees to get out of using a RIM device at their office. Alas, support for BlackBerry Connect has quietly been dropped from the gorgeous new devices — and as much as we’d like to say otherwise, no amount of beauty is plan to make up for being unable to grab the average user’s corporate email. Users are upset, particularly those who upgraded from older models assuming that BBC support would be carried over, so RIM had better be cooking up an update if they want to avoid the grizzly scene that usually ensues when you fire up a bunch of people wearing formal business attire.

We’d continuously prefer an actual announcement to a mere teaser, and in the case of the E66 and E71, we’ve seen these things exposed so many times in so many ways at this time that we’re actually starting to think that we might know more about the business-class hotties than Nokia itself. in this place’s the latest scoop: Mobile Phone Helpdesk has gone ahead and locked down press shots of Bot. devices, adding a little more glitz and glamor to the pair than the typical prerelease in-the-wild shots afford. We’re seriously not sure what Nokia’s waiting for in this place, but we think it’d be well served to push ‘em out ahead of the Touch Diamond and 3G iPhone rushes.
