Photos of Nokia's as-yet unannounced Nokia E6-00 have made their way on to the internet, suggesting that the not-very-exciting handset may form the crux of the company's Mobile World Congress announcements.

It's not setting our hearts aflame with excitement, looking very much like the Nokia E71 and most of the rest of the E-series candybar handsets.

Specs relating to the business handset leaked last month, with a 640 x 480 VGA screen, Symbian^3 and HSPA on offer.

Shattered touchscreen dreams?

Rumours had also suggested the E6 would offer a nice big touchscreen. But, while the photos neither confirm nor deny the presence of a touchscreen on the QWERTY candybar, the screen size and masses of space dedicated to the navigational trackpad suggest it does not.

We're not at all sure about the enormous band of wasted space under the QWERTY; could this be some kind of gestural input bar? Doubtful.

If this is all Nokia has for us at Mobile World Congress, we're going to be seriously disappointed. Let's just hope the curtain comes up on that MeeGo superphone instead.
