Nokia E66, E71 business phones unveiled

Nokia has unveiled two email-optimised business phones, the E71 and the E66, which are designed for people who want quick and easy access to their personal and work email.


































The E71 is a BlackBerry-style handset with a full Qwerty keyboard, and the E66 is a smaller slider phone.

The Nokia E71 is available in two colours - grey steel or white steel. Its metallic finish is backed by the bright colour display.

The Nokia E66 has a bit more of a professional touch to it with its stainless steel accents and smooth sliding design.

Both handsets support a range of business functions including email, office productivity, integrated mobile VPN support and built-in encryption for the device memory and the memory card. The devices have email account access from more than a thousand internet service providers (ISPs) around the world, as well as Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail.

Both models support the latest Ovi services including maps, music and media sharing. They also have HSDPA, wireless LAN and 3G connectivity, plus Assisted GPS (A-GPS) and Nokia Maps for navigation and a music player with support for up to 8GB expandable memory and a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera.
