Nokia E51

It’s hard to deny that Nokia has been on a rampage lately. They’re turning out innovative phones at a rate that must astound and confound their competitors. Their latest offering is the Nokia E51. The Nokia E51 is a member of their E-Series, which are a line of the company’s smartest SmartPhones. The E-Series places an emphasis on business connectivity, and the E51 is designed with that caveat in mind.

Nokia today bolstered its Nokia Eseries portfolio of business devices with the introduction of the new Nokia E51 device. The slim and elegant Nokia E51 adds greater simplicity, faster access and tighter integration to key applications, while maintaining the smartphone capabilities and stylish design that customers have come to expect in a Nokia Eseries device. An all-round device, Nokia E51 is ideal for business professionals who require reliable, real-time access to business and people, need to manage time effectively and value a single device that is easy to set up, maintain and use. Nokia E51 users with Nokia mobility solutions can experience mobile telephony, mobile email and messaging, office phone functionality, and cost savings – with the convenience of one phone number, one voice mailbox, one dial plan – in a single device.

“Business users increasingly need one device that they can count on to work productively and which offers them the level of efficiency that brings more freedom and balance to their personal lives,” said Antti Vasara, senior vice president, Mobile Devices Unit, Enterprise Solutions, Nokia. “With the new Nokia E51 device, we are responding to this need with a business smartphone that combines the latest advances in business mobility and a classic, stainless steel design, at a price that makes it perfect for company-wide deployments.”

E51 runs in dual-mode, meaning it will work with either GSM networks or Wi-Fi hotspots. This will help to convert business customers who are already interested in “converged” network services.

The Nokia E51 will be available worldwide during the fourth quarter of 2007 for an unsubsidized retail price of approximately 350 EUR. With subsidies, the price will be even lower, making it an attractive mobile phone for many businesses.
