According to an anonymous tip, it would appear that a new QWERTY smartphone will be launching shortly within the US. The new Nokia phone, although unannounced, is the E73 and US stores may receive it as early as June 16th at which time it will be branded as the Mode.

The renaming process isn’t new for Nokia as they have done this in the past as well, giving the Nokia 5230 a custom name of the Nuron. Regarding the Nokia Mode, details are sketchy with hardware and pricing not officially available. Speculation however is that the Mode will support WiFi and 3G network connections and there is the possibility of an upgraded onboard camera. The E73 will most likely come with Symbian S60 instead of Symbian^3.
