Video: Talking design with E71 and E66 creators
By Mike on 17 June 2008
LONDON, England – Eseries devices have undergone a serious design evolution since the introduction of the E51 and E65, a pair of phones that in essence acted as springboards for the bolder steel-clad designs embodied in the new E66 and E71 handsets unveiled earlier today.
I caught up with Valtteri Eroma (Head of Eseries design) and Benoit Rouger (Senior Industrial Designer) to talk about this design evolution, the use of materials and the challenge of creating exciting Eseries devices.
The video interview was conducted in perhaps the noisiest room on Planet Earth (I’ve tried to clean up the audio as best I can), but hang in there because the guys have some cool stuff to say about Eseries design…
What do you think about the evolution of Eseries devices and design in recent years? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

You could’ve really moved to a quiet room, although interesting its very hard to follow due to bg noise.

Sorry about the background noise.
I wasn’t there, but we have been getting some good interviews at these events. But they are always to darn noisy.
I’ve asked our event folks to consider creating quieter areas for us to make video and audio recordings in future events.

Guys – best looking handset we have ever made. Seems like we are grasping the idea of new materials now, steel, carbonfibre etc. We are on the right track now.
