Nokia Corporation launched three new handsets E60, E61 and E70 in the E series, a move to further quicken communications for business users.
"The E series is the first set of products specifically designed to meet business users' needs yet meet the stringent requirements of the IT professionals that are called upon to make sure these solutions work," said Mary McDowell, Executive Vice President and General Manager at Nokia.
"On pricing, absolutely, we are going to be competitive. Obviously these are the devices we have high targets for," Niklas Savander, Senior Vice President at Nokia Enterprise Solutions unit, told a news conference in London.
"We understand what mobility means for business. These devices embody our extensive knowledge of user-focused functional design, security and cutting-edge wireless technologies. Our goal is to make it easy for our customers to choose Nokia devices, for all their business mobility needs", said Savander.
The Nokia Company said, "They would also support mobile e-mail from Visto Mobile, Seven and Good Technology Inc."
The new devices include a range of GSM frequencies and 3G capability as well as WLAN and Bluetooth short-range radio technologies, differentiating them from some competitors, it added.
"This represents the first generation of the E-series family and certainly we expect to extend it over time," said Mary McDowell, head of the Nokia Enterprise corporate unit.
The E61 is designed for the most email-intensive user, and is the device that most closely resembles the Blackberry from market leading 'push' email vendor Research In Motion Ltd. It supports multiple 'push' email services, including Blackberry, Visto, Seven, and Nokia's own recently announced Nokia Business Centre. It offers both cellular and WLAN connectivity, as do the other two devices. It is designed for single-handed usage, said Niklas Savander, Senior Vice President of business devices at Nokia Enterprise Solutions.
The Nokia E60 supports advanced call features such as IP-based telephony, push to talk, conference calling and integrated speakerphone. It also has WCDMA that enables wide-area connections, and WLAN that offers cost-effective options for local access. Although the phone is geared for one-handed use, it's large colour screen makes e-mails and calendar entries easy. The Nokia E60 operates on GSM900/1800/1900 and WCDMA2100 networks.
The E70, which Savander described as "an all-in-one messaging device", has the format of a candy bar with alphanumeric keyboard initially, but folds out to reveal a larger screen and a split Qwerty keyboard, half on each side of the screen, for writing emails and manipulating existing texts.
The Nokia E60, E61 and E70 will be available worldwide, in the first quarter of 2006.
