14 DAY TRIAL // Cingular Wireless and Nokia announced the near availability of the Nokia E62, a sleek device built specifically for wireless email.
Measuring half an inch thick, it features a full QWERTY keyboard with large backlit keys for easy typing, and a sizeable, high-resolution 16 million color screen measuring 320 x 240 pixels. Nokia E62 will give users a variety of popular secure email platforms to choose from, including Good Mobile Messaging, Cingular Xpress Mail, BlackBerry Connect, Mail for Exchange (direct push corporate email from Microsoft Exchange), the Nokia push solution via Intellisync Mobile Suite from Nokia, and standard clients such as POP3, IMAP and SMTP. In addition, the device includes a pre-loaded instant messaging application.
Beyond email, customers can view, edit and create documents, spreadsheets and presentations, and surf the Internet using the device's robust S60 browser, developed by Nokia. The device offers users approximately five hours of talk time and other features such as speakerphone, six-way conference calling, voice dialing, voice commands for menu shortcuts, and a dedicated voice key for easy use of voice recording.
"The Nokia E62 device is a game changer that will bring the power of wireless email to just about everyone who wants to experience it," said Kent Mathy, president of the Business Markets Group, Cingular's business-to-business organization. "Nokia has built a rock-solid device with an ultra-thin, modern form factor, support for several popular business and personal wireless email platforms, a great Web browsing experience and unsurpassed Nokia voice quality - all at a great price."
Nokia E62 will be available exclusively from Cingular in the U.S. beginning September 29, 2006 and carries a price tag of $149.99.
