According to Nokia, the Nokia E71 with full QWERTY keyboard and the E66 slider mobilise a broad range of personal or professional messaging needs, including Microsoft Exchange. Both devices are expected to begin shipping in key markets in July.

Nokia Vice President for Sales, Chris Carr said, “The Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 were designed for people who lead a mobile lifestyle and want quick and easy access to their personal and work email. With both of these devices, we have responded to consumer feedback by making calendar and contacts available at the touch of a button. Equally important, people want well-crafted devices that are as beautiful to use as they are to behold. Stainless steel was chosen as the core material for these devices, giving them additional strength and a touch of class. Furthermore, the Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 offer all the latest multimedia features that people desire.”

The Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 come fully equipped for easy-to-install and easy-to-use professional and personal email. People who use Microsoft Exchange at work can access their email using the Mail for Exchange mobile email client, which comes pre-loaded with the two phones. Users can have access to their email, calendar, contacts and tasks, as well as download attachments like Word, Excel, Powerpoint or PDF files directly to their devices.

The Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 support e-mail accounts from more than a thousand internet service providers (ISPs) around the world, as well as Gmail, Yahoo! mail and Hotmail. Additionally, the Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 support the Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email solution as well as third party email solutions like System Seven and Visto Mobile. Both devices come with the new switch mode that allows people to easily switch between personal and work home screens.

The E71 sports a stainless steel case, etched graphics and is available in two colors – grey steel or white steel. The metallic finish is complemented by the bright colour display and is designed for both one-handed and two-handed use.

The Nokia E66 is a slider phone that shares the same key features as the Nokia E71, including an enhanced calendar, contacts and customisable home screen modes. It also offers unique additions, like an orientation sensor that automatically optimises itself for full screen viewing or silences the ringer when the device is turned over. The Nokia E66 will be available in grey steel or white steel version.

In addition to email and personal information management, the Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 support the latest Ovi services including maps, music and media sharing that power users expect from their device. This includes fast and seamless browsing with HSDPA, wireless LAN and 3G connectivity, Assisted GPS (A-GPS) and Nokia Maps for navigation, a music player with support for up to 8 GB expandable memory and a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera.

The handsets also come with a robust suite of enterprise grade features, including a built-in encryption functionality for both the device memory and for the memory card. Both Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 also include integrated mobile VPN support and device lock and wipe to protect corporate information.
