Europe:
Nokia announced the addition of three new models to its portfolio
of business-optimized devices. The Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia
E70 - the first of the new Nokia Eseries - are distinctively different
in design and allow businesses of all sizes to mobilize their workforce.
Nokia Eseries models combine attractive and easy-to-use designs that
appeal to individual business users with new underlying technologies
that allow IT departments to effectively manage security settings,
corporate applications and data. Each of the devices is designed to
accommodate must-have mobile applications needed in today's business
world like mobile email and advanced voice calling functions. The
Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and the Nokia E70 will be available in the first
quarter of 2006 worldwide.
The Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70 support today's most popular
and newly announced corporate mobile email solutions like BlackBerry
Connect, GoodLink from Good Technology, Inc., Nokia Business Center,
Seven Mobile Mail, Seven Always-On Mail and Visto Mobile.
The new Nokia Eseries devices are built on the latest edition of the
Series 60 Platform, the world's leading smartphone software platform.
Series 60 3rd Edition together with Symbian OS v. 9.1 provide an identical
application environment for the Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70.
They include a variety of GSM frequencies and 3G (WCDMA) cellular
network support for seamless roaming across different countries, as
well as a range of local connectivity options such as WLAN, Bluetooth
and Infrared and are USB 2.0 compatible.
The Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70 also feature superior voice
functionality and quality when compared to other devices that combine
PDA-like features with a mobile phone. The devices support advanced
voice services, such as Internet (Voice over IP) phone calls, Push
to talk, and other SIP-based rich call services giving businesses
a variety of ways to make it easier for employees to collaborate or
respond rapidly in or out of the office. Companies deploying an Avaya
or Cisco IP PBX can connect the new Nokia devices directly to their
corporate phone networks, enabling functions employees have come to
expect from a corporate network like four-digit dialing and assisted
call answering.
"When we carefully considered the requirements of our customers
when developing these devices, two clear new trends emerged: the need
for IT departments' to have a secure and manageable platform, and
the need for devices to support a variety of employee preferences
and different working styles," said Niklas Savander, senior vice
president of Nokia's business device unit. "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."
The new business-optimized devices are the first in the industry to
support remote device management based on OMA DM* giving the IT manager
powerful tools to remotely control and protect corporate data on the
device and configure devices via device wipe, device lock or task
management, application management and customization, for example.

The Nokia E60: A classic design with unmatched voice features
The Nokia E60 provides the uncompromised look, comfort and usability
of a classically designed mobile phone. Supporting an array of advanced
call features from integrated speakerphone and conference calling
to voice-aided applications like Push to talk, and IP-based telephony,
the Nokia E60 is the best mobile device for active voice communications
- in and out of the office. The Nokia E60 offers fast and flexible
data connections with WCDMA enabling wide area connections and WLAN
offers a cost effective option for local access. Although optimized
for one-handed use, its large color screen makes email and calendar
entries easy. The Nokia E60 operates in GSM900/1800/1900 and WCDMA2100
networks.
The Nokia E61: Built for mobile email
The Nokia E61 is designed in the familiar style of today's most popular
mobile email devices. Yet it is incredibly slim and packed with powerful
new functionality. A cinch to use with either hand, the device has
a four-way joystick and full keyboard combined with a wide 16 million
color screen making mobile email easier than ever before. Supporting
multiple mobile email clients like BlackBerry Connect, GoodLink, Nokia
Business Center, Seven Mobile Mail, Seven Always-On Mail, and Visto
Mobile, the Nokia E61 provides seamless and encrypted mobile connectivity.
Full attachment handling (documents, spreadsheets, presentations,
PDF viewer and ZIP manager) and an editing function (document, spreadsheet
and presentation) are included. The Nokia E61 also includes the same
advanced business call features and IP-based telephony functions as
the Nokia E60 and Nokia E70. The Nokia E61 can send and receive emails,
even when on a phone call. The Nokia E61 operates in GSM850/900/1800/1900
and WCDMA2100 networks.
The Nokia E70: The all-in-one messaging device
At first glance, the Nokia E70 looks like a modern smartphone. Open
it up and find a full messaging keyboard for fast and easy thumb typing,
a generous color screen for viewing emails, plus attachments (document,
spreadsheet, presentation, PDF viewer and ZIP manager) and an editing
function (document, spreadsheet, presentation) for staying up-to-date
with the inbox. Like the Nokia E60 and Nokia E61, the Nokia E70 supports
a common set of applications like advanced voice and email. Nokia
will offer two versions of the Nokia E70 - one optimized for mobile
networks in Europe and Asia (GSM900/1800/1900/WCDMA 2100) and one
optimized for mobile networks in the Americas (GSM850/1800/1900),
yet both versions are able to roam in GSM networks across regions.
Nokia also offers a comprehensive service portfolio for its business
devices and solutions ranging from technical support to implementation,
professional services and technical training. Nokia's services are
available to better serve customers and enable successful end-to-end
mobility solutions.
