Although not available for order Nokia EU has two new colors of the E71 on its E71 product page. The two new colors debuting are red and black. Hopefully these units will be available for purchase sometime in the near future. I personally wouldn’t mind picking up the black model (or at least the case).

Questions:
Will they be “hackable,” meaning can I load n-gage?
Are the keys on the black one darker than those on the gray model?
Assuming that they contain the same firmware as whats available on current models N-Gage should load properly. But that wont be known until the unit hits retail channels. The keys on the black model look fairly black compared to the E71 grey. The closest comparison would be the N958GB, those keys are black.
