Nokia E61:Smartphone from the Eseries range

The Nokia E61 is a smartphone from the Eseries range, a Series 60 Third Edition device with a QWERTY keyboard targeting business users in the European market. As of Q4 2006 Cingular and Rogers Wireless have deployed a similar yet restricted version designated the Nokia E62 in the North American and Brazilian markets. The E62 is substantially similar but without an 802.11 WiFi chipset or W-CDMA (UMTS) 3G support. E61 supports 900/1800/1900 bands, while E62 can operate in 850/900/1800/1900 in order to support American networks.
On 12 February 2007 Nokia announced the E61i as a follow up product.

The Nokia E61i, designed specifically for extensive mobile email usage, provides advanced attachment handling with on-the-device document editing. The new full keyboard design with Navi and One Touch keys offers a unique mobile user experience. The E61i supports corporate mobile email solutions such as Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email, Good Mobile Messaging, Mail for Exchange, Seven Mobile Mail, and BlackBerry Connect and most popular consumer email solutions. In response to customer demand, the device also features a high quality 2.0-megapixel camera, a music player and a video player.

Its kinda weird but out of all of today's announcements I am most excited about one that's just an update. I'm talking about the 3GSM World Congress 2007 and the Nokia E61i.

Yep that "i" means that this phone is an update to last year's highly popular but weirdly sized E61 phone aimed at business users who need Blackberry like push email features and WiFi.

So What's New?

Nokia says the Nokia E61i has a new refreshed sleek design. I checked its just 2.5mm thinner but it does look a whole lot better. It now has improved handling of attachments and what really makes it for me, an integrated 2 megapixel camera.

Everything else is pretty much the same. Quadband (EGSM 850/900/1800/1900) connectivity, Symbian S60 3rd Edition, Bluetooth and Infrared.

The Nokia E61i supports corporate mobile email solutions such as Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email, Good Mobile Messaging, Mail for Exchange, Seven Mobile Mail, and BlackBerry Connect as well as most popular consumer email solutions.
