Nokia Announced New Models of WiFi and BlackBerry Devices

Although mainly focused on the individual user, Nokia is coming now with an offer aimed at the corporate segment. The three new models, E60, E61 and E70, are compatible with the Wi-Fi, VoIP and Blackberry technologies.

The E series will support the mobile e-mail services offered by cell phone operators (Research In Motion, Good Technology, Seven Mobile Mail, Visto Mobile), but also the VoIP services.

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.

E60's design is very similar to that of a standard cell phone, while the E61 is optimized for e-mails. The E70 will have the look, but also the feel of a smartphone, the device offering support for e-mail attachments. All the models will be compatible with the GSM networks, and the platform they are built on is the already famous Series 60, a version of the Symbian operating system, developed by Nokia. The three cell phones will be available in the first quarter of the next year.
