New Nokia Family of Devices Targeted at the Business World
October 12, 2005
Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70 combine the power of 3G and WLAN with advanced voice services and mobile email applications in a variety of designs for every employee
London, UK/ New York, NY, USA - Nokia announced today 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. Nokia's well established competence in network security addresses strict corporate requirements covering information stored on devices, back-office systems and transmitted over networks
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.
A complete list of Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70 features and technical specifications can be found at http://www.nokia.com/business . For further information about device and solution availability, please contact your local Nokia representative and local network operator.

If I'm not mistaken, only E70 has a camera (2Mpix)
Posted by david1975
i think they al wil have cams if they are 3g could be wrong though
Posted by Super G
3G doesnt mean camera
It means faster (well, depends where
data transfer.
Posted by david1975
yeah thought about that yeah like you said probably just the one then or maybe two
Posted by mustafabay
What are the screen's resolutions? And people complained about P990 being too close to a Treo and a Moto Q for that matter, heck even Nokia now sees the need for one at least the P990 has camflouge.

not sure how you can say either company copied of each other, nokia must be really quick a designing and making phones as less than 24hr after se announcement they have a phone ready.
i would guess that they both had similar plans in the pipe line.
in fact se and nokias phone look like the blackberry phones, so maybe they both nicked there design ideas from that which seems to be a very successful device
Posted by mustafabay
It just hit me. Is Nokia losing its coherency or what? I thought that each series was to have a different theme or target. Yes I can see they are all business but the looks and design are so different. The E70 looks to be the sucessor of the 8820 or what ever it was called. The E60 seems to be a regular but camera-less S60 with nothing special except VOIP. But the E61 which doesn't quite fit in with the others has a really weird index, shouldn't it be a E80 instead it does seem to be the highest of the range.
Posted by slattery69
i must confess i agree with you and id extend it across most companys i think they just pull numbers and letters form thin air and just name them and numer them however they feel.
they may have some significane to the team that designs and builds them but to joe public they mean bugger all
Posted by Super G
@mustafabay: Check out Nokia website for details:
E60: 352 x 416 pixels. 16M colors
E61: 320 x 240 pixels. 16M colors
E70: 352 x 416 pixels. 256K colors
I have a N90 which has screen with a resolution of 352x416 pixels, and it is very very nice. The font is bluffing.

Nokia is really shining now...

Is it me or does Nokia's E60 look exactly like SE's T630?
Posted by Super G
It looks very similar indeed. However, for I have seen both (in real life), T630 looks better
Posted by kumiorava
Did you notice how slim those phones are? Even the fattest one was merely 22mm, which is 1,5mm fatter than k750i. Slimmest one (E61) was only 14mm, which is 0,1mm fatter than RazrV3. That is almost half the P990 size.
E60 was 16,9mm which is 3,6mm less than k750i, other dimensions were following: E60 was 3mm wider (49mm) and 15mm taller (115mm) than k750i. All in all I think Nokia has winner group coming out, no other Symbian smart phone has been as small yet. Screens are also amazing, 4 times bigger than old Series 60 phones.
My sources were www.nokia.com, www.motorola.com and www.sonyericsson.com.
Posted by Super G
Making E61 slim is not too much of a hassle
given its size.
The other ones are slim and its good!
Posted by ares
well, not having cameras is a good way to make thinner phones
anyone here in this forum is gonna buy a phone without a camera righ now???
so, you should only compare the one that has camera with p990...
weirdly, being 3g phones, even the one with the camera doesnīt have front camera for videocalls??? must need brick acessory like 6630???
lol
so anyone comparing anyone of this phones with p990 should be very carefull with what they say

3G does NOT mean video calls.
I'm sick of this dumb association!
It is about faster data rates (somehow), and that's what these phones have been made for. These are E series, targetted at enterprises. 9300 is a big success and it does not have a camera (not 3G either, but it has EDGE)
If you want facny cameras etc, turn towards N Series for instance....
It's as simple as that.

strange you should mention that as there was a thread not long ago about that very subject and quite a few people were asking for phones without cams because of were they worked and not been allowed to take there current phone in.
so i guess there would be somewhat of a demand and i could see business adopting these phones to stop workers wasting time taking photos.

This is a serious contender for the P9...the fact that it can support all levels of wireless especially the G bandwith..which to me is the way forward...well done Nokia.
Posted by peeta
could the E stand for e-mail?
Posted by kumiorava
peeta: my uneducated guess is "enterprise" as these things come out of that branch of Nokia.
about the camera, I think video calls will be as widely in use as MMS messages so there is really no need for it. I have been put off with all other mobile cameras except k750i, and even that is not the quality I would want. So in other words, I would rather have phone that is 2mm slimmer than carry that worthless camera with me.
I hope the processing power matches the increased screen size as well, it's 4 times what it used to be so that makes me wonder if S60 system will be even slower than before.
Posted by aquila2
some simple minded people like arez, who don't work in serios business enviroment simple don't get the need of business to have a camera less and feature rich phone.
if you happen to be in the City or work some big company, you would mostly see people having by majority nokia 6310i, blackberries, nokia 6021, camera less SDAs and Treos etc
and corporate sector was begging for such phones
if there is a demand nokia decided to jump in
the P990i with camera is toward general public, but wont be that much successful as this new Enterprise serie from nokia
I for one would also love to see a camera less E70 ...
Posted by xpx
big wow to Nokia. verygoodjob! the E series wipes the floor of p990i. sad that it was SE who sponsor the smartphone events yet it was Nokia who shine in the events.... E for Enterprise phone and Fashion phone for F?? hmmm..
ok se fanboys/girls you can bash me now.. =D haha
Posted by david1975
it is a good job by nokia but i still think they felt they had to release these phones because they are worried about se
Posted by Kryptik
I can't help but agree that so many ppl only see the video calling aspect of 3G, which is silly when you consider the far greater speed implications. As for saying that Nokia has tried to emulate SE by bringing out the 6630 and 3250, yeah right, dream on... Why would they bring out Symbian to compete with Java?? And how can one make a statement to the effect that Nokia rises to challenge SE?? Usually it's the underdog that challenges the leader, not a manufacturer in 3rd or 4th spot
Posted by david1975
yes good point but even a market leader can see things from competitors and rivals one other thing dont know if anyone has mentioned it there is a 2 mega pixel cam on the e70
Posted by ares
aquila2, i know all that
iīm talking about the normal esatonian...the normal guy that comes here to talk about phones
98% of US wonīt buy a phone without a camera right now, or a 3g phone without 2 cameras
So, what for us phone phreaks, that want EVERYTHING there is in phones, including of course, a great photo camera and eventually another for videocalling or videotransmission, so, what all this E phones have more than the p990, that really matters???
i do not contest these phones are excelent for certain people, but not for the majority i see here everyday...
so itīs funny to see all this guys that are far from being professional in anything except in buying expensive phones (most of them), to brag that this new e phones trash p990 lol
so, no need to tell me over and over that thereīs a reason for the absence of cameras, and videocameras, i know all that...

David, i agree, Nokia certainly incorporates the best of what their rivals offer. Regarding their cam quality though, SE kicks Nokia butt with regularity. It's the one major aspect that they need to pay serious attention to, imo. I shudder when i remember those comparitive pix between Nokia and SE on gsmarena. The Carl Zeiss angle seems to have been more marketing hype than anything tangible.
Posted by david1975
yeah they do kick ass in the photo department what strikes me is se dont have as much money as nokia but they still ahve to make more and more effort to get martket attention se seem to be accepted as leaders in technlolgy nokia are very worried i think stilll think nokia have shown their hand to early again se will have their k800 or whatever next year and the game of catch up will being all over again which is great for use the consumer although it is making it more difficult which to chose

In what way did E series wipe the floor with P990?
Posted by Vein
These three look great, no-one suspected Blackberry device!
6820 successor looks greater than expected though, has an amazing screen too
Posted by aquila2
2 arez: ehm, you still did not get it ... this phones have its OWN target group for which they are _perfectly_ suited. you are right that those phones are problable only target for this 5% of customers, but _this_ is the point, boy
and those 5% is HUGE market in termes of money ... and high margin area, that every company dreams to tap by its portoflio
and nokia happens to listen to this _rich_ audience.
as for question why those phones will wipe out the new P series. well, P is too expensive for a regular joe .. and companies tend to buy things that _do not_ have certain extras like cameras that are so suitable for industrial espionage
so logicaly, companies will lean toward to business phones rather to some funky multimedia device like p990. and since the sales in corporate secotor is vital for phones in this class, p990i might happen not to be the best seller particulary due to the camera
it is simple too much expensive for a regular joe and not that much interesting for the corporate folks
not to mention, there will be almost no SW for the p990i since it is a completely new platform. new system (symbian 9 & UIQ 3) which is not compatible backwards by any means, not even resolution is the same... this is a BIG drawback ..
so arez, as you can clearly see, the point of these devices is NOT targting the 95% of people but only the 5%
Posted by c96sthl
Not only that E60 look like T630....E61 look like Motorola Q
I haven't read all the functionality of the product.....however the ID is boring as if suddenly Nokia have no more innovation in ID....what next? A clam shell (flip phone) with loop antenna like SE Z520?
Posted by pavlov's_dog
this E series won't kick P990's ass in any way. I think it's on a different segment that is more focused on connectivity. but i think 3G without videocalling is just dumb. If i needed a fast connection, i'd turn to wifi (which is available) rather than burn my money on 3G that costs by the kilobyte!
The designs are obviously ripped off from the t630 and the moto Q.
I like the screen specs though but numbers don't amount to optimization.

I see the P990i as some sort of geek device. Yet it tries to please a bit everybody and pack all the stuff (business, multimedia etc.) in one package. There's only one problem: it doesn't shine in any of these areas. It has intermediate business/enterprize features compared to some devices, which are going to sell at the same time. And same goes for multimedia features.
BTW. You don't need two cameras to make a videocall...And if you still didn't notice, those E-devices are aimed to corporates/enterprizes and business people. Videocalls and still imaging are hardly the features that those intrest groups are seeking from a device, which is a tool for them to make their work more effectively while they are out of office.

I like when people say Nokia tries to catch up on
.... when it has taken months to to be able to release a phone with WiFi support, for instance.... Nevermind, dream on.
Not to mention MSC 11 now supported in Nokia phones.
??
Quadband GSM + WCDMA band.
?
finally acknowledging the need for a keyboard to decently write emails. Nokia communicators have had that for years and years.
Etc.

aquila2, so what??? did i say anything contrary to that?? Did i said thereīs no need for these phones??? So stop your lecture, and try to coment what i wrote (i say "A" and you answer to "B")
Posted by david1975
just been thinking and having a good look at the nokia website i was goona get a e70 i think it is then i released the have tried to sell this in 6822 series or something like that it didnt work then i dont think it will work now i think nokia had no choice but to release these phones because they are a bit desperate they now se is starting to hurt them
Posted by Super G
C'mon david1975, 6822 and E70 are completely different, if we omit their form factors!
6822 was a series 40 EDGE phone with a poor screen. I always lacked smartphone features with 6822. It was good at one thing, texting. But for emails etc, not quite the killer.
Now we're talking S60 with a very very good screen, EDGE, 3G and WLAN!
Like in boxing, all boxers are.... boxers. But there are different categories: heavy weights etc.
