October 20th, 2006 - Posted in Nokia
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.

MobileBurn reviews the Nokia E70 and writes, “The Nokia E70 is fully loaded and it’s a fantastic handset. The Nokia E70 can do everything that the recently reviewed E61 can, and better yet, is can also snap pictures and record videos. Couple this with the high resolution display, and the E70 is clearly a winner. Although I do not really like the design or the time it takes for it to change from portrait to landscape and back, the E70 still has a lot going for it.
If Blackberry styled devices are not your thing, the E70 is the way to go. I give it a “Highly Recommended” rating, as there is no other phone as well equipped out there now as the E70. This rating comes with one caveat though: check the handset before purchase to see if the keyboard is labeled properly.”
Infosync reviews the Nokia E70 and writes, “While the European edition of the Nokia E70 includes support for UMTS high-speed data transmissions, the U.S. version of the E70 only has EDGE data capabilities, an unfortunate oversight. We would love to see Cingular roll out a 3G-capable version of this phone for high-speed tethered modem support. The Nokia includes a “Pop-Port”-to-USB cable for data transfers and dial-up networking at EDGE speeds, but the cable will not charge the phone, so you’ll have to bring the charger with you. The phone also sports 802.11g Wi-Fi, so it can access WLAN signals at high speeds and synchronize with your laptop over Wi-Fi, a quicker option than the Bluetooth 1.2 connection. “
