New E-Phones from Nokia Come with MS Exchange

E71_01_lowres.jpgNokia introduced today the Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 -
the latest email-optimized devices from the Nokia Eseries product
range. The sleek Nokia E71 with full QWERTY keyboard has been called the "world's thinnest QWERTY phone" and is only 1 cm thin. The E66 has an accelerometer.

The phones mobilize a broad range of personal or
professional messaging needs, including Microsoft Exchange, the world's
most widely adopted corporate email solution. Both devices are expected
to begin shipping in key markets in July. 

 
Easy, one-touch access to email
The
Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 come fully equipped for easy-to-install and
easy-to-use professional and personal email. People who use Microsoft
Exchange at work can access their email using the Mail for Exchange
mobile email client, which comes pre-loaded with the Nokia E71 and
Nokia E66. With these Nokia Eseries devices, people can get reliable
real-time access to their email, calendar, contacts and tasks, as well
as download attachments like Word, Excel, Powerpoint or PDF files
directly to their devices.
 
The
Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 support email accounts from more than a
thousand internet service providers (ISPs) around the world, as well as
Gmail, Yahoo! mail and Hotmail. Additionally, the Nokia E71 and Nokia
E66 support the Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email solution as well as
third party email solutions like System Seven and Visto Mobile. Both
devices come with the new switch mode that allows people easily to
switch between personal and work home screens.

 "The Nokia
E71 and Nokia E66 were designed for people who lead a mobile lifestyle
and want quick and easy access to their personal and work email. With
both of these devices, we have responded to consumer feedback by making
calendar and contacts available at the touch of a button," said Søren
Petersen, Senior Vice President, Devices, Nokia. "Equally important,
people want well-crafted devices that are as beautiful to use as they
are to behold. Stainless steel was chosen as the core material for
these devices, giving them additional strength and a touch of class.
Furthermore, the Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 offer all the latest
multimedia features that people desire."

Sophisticated tool, premium design inside and out
With
a stainless steel case, etched graphics and available in two colors -
grey steel or white steel - the Nokia E71 bears the hallmarks of Nokia
quality and craftsmanship. The cool metallic finish is complemented by
the bright colour display, which showcases the Nokia E71 device's
brilliantly simple user interface. Designed for both one-handed and
two-handed use, the Nokia E71 pays special attention to ergonomics, as
evidenced by its narrow shape and specially designed keypad.
 
The
Nokia E66 offers a premium look and feel with its stainless steel
accents and smooth sliding design. Sharing the same key features as the
Nokia E71, including an enhanced calendar, contacts and customizable
home screen modes, the Nokia E66 offers unique additions, like an
orientation sensor that automatically optimizes itself for full screen
viewing or silences the ringer when the device is turned over.
Available in grey steel or white steel version, the Nokia E66 leaves a
lasting impression as a sophisticated business tool in a distinct
design.
 
Always Entertaining
In
addition to email and personal information management, the Nokia E71
and Nokia E66 support the latest Ovi services including maps, music and
media sharing that power users expect from their device. This includes
fast and seamless browsing with HSDPA, wireless LAN and 3G
connectivity, Assisted GPS (A-GPS) and Nokia Maps for navigation, a
music player with support for up to 8 GB expandable memory and a 3.2
megapixel autofocus camera. 
 
Built for Businesses of all sizes
In
addition to serving entrepreneurs and smaller businesses, the Nokia E71
and Nokia E66 also come fully equipped with a robust suite of
enterprise grade features, including a built-in encryption
functionality for both the device memory and for the memory card. Both
Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 also include integrated mobile VPN support that
gives mobile professionals access to their company intranet, and device
lock and wipe to protect corporate information. Incorporating
underlying technologies that allow IT departments to effectively manage
security settings, corporate applications, data and advanced voice
features, the Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 expand the range of Nokia Eseries
devices that support enterprise-specific deployment.
