Nokia has officially announced that the E66 S60 slider will be making its way to the U.S. around Q3 of this year.

The phone will be compatible with multiple networks including EDGE, GSM, HSDPA and WCDMA.

The handset is only 13.6mm thick and will feature not only a 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera on the rear, but also a camera on the front for making video calls.

It will include a 2.4-inch QVGA screen as well as A-GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth (with A2DP) and 3.6mbps web browsing.

You can switch to landscape mode by turning the handset on its side, much like the accelerometer feature on Apple’s iPhone, plus there is a new feature that allows you to easily switch between your personal and business profiles.

The battery will last for 14 days on standby and give you 3.5 hours of talk time on 3G or 7.5 hours on GSM.

The internal memory is limited, only 110MB, but that can be expanded with a microSD card up to 8GB.

The E66 uses the third edition of the S60 platform which runs on the Symbian OS.

The handset will cost “under $500″ according to Nokia and will be available in two colours, either white or grey with steel accents.
