Building on their most successful Business Series “ E” class phones with more then a Ten million units sold in 2008, At Mobile World Congress - Barcelona , Nokia has announced 4 new devices as yet including two new E Series
“Efficiency is about doing more with less and focusing on what’s truly essential,” says Kai Oistamo, Executive Vice President at Nokia. “With direct access to Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes, companies can potentially save up to a third of their operating costs as there’s no need for middleware or additional servers.”
Keeping the business both theirs and consumers Nokia has introduced the E75 and the E55
The E75 to be available in March for Euro 375 , featuring a Candybar style with a slide out keyboard ( one keypad and one keyboard ) others specs are same as other E Series , so except the form factor nothing new here
“With the Nokia E75 we took a lot of inspiration from the Nokia 9300, which was our first mini communicator,” adds Oistamo. “Owners of the Nokia 9300 loved the messaging functionality a full keyboard provided, but also used the traditional phone keypad a great deal. With the Nokia E75 we kept these essential ingredients, significantly upgraded all of the features and made it as compact as possible.”
But with this small screen, don’t insult the 9300
What impressed me is the Nokia E55 , at 9.9mm thickness claimed to be thinnest SmartPhone .
“When we launched the Nokia E71 last year, we really set a new standard for just how compact a full QWERTY device could be,” continues Oistamo. “We have continued on this theme and have come back with the world’s most compact messaging device, the Nokia E55.”
“With the Nokia E55 we have made messaging as efficient and pocketable as possible,” continues Oistamo. “In our usage tests, the Nokia E55′s compact QWERTY keyboard has been proven to be fast to learn and quicker to use than standard phone keypads.”
Featuring a Sony Ericsson P1 style with two alphabets on on one key , the phone features 2.4 inch screen ( 16 million color ), accelerometer ,support upto 16gb Memory Card , A-GPS and Nokia maps 3.0 . The phone features a 3.2 Mp Camera and runs Symbian S60 3.2.3 .
The phone also has IM support builtin with GMAIL , YAHOO and MSN chat services preinstalled and comes equipped with Nokia Office Tools .
Expected to retail at 265 Euros ( 110 Euros less then E75 ) and will be available in Q2 2009
“With companies looking to consolidate costs and assets, and with the number of email-enabled devices in the Nokia range and our direct access model, Nokia look set to continue this performance in 2009,” concludes Oistamo.
So which one you are waiting to buy the E75 or E55 , I’ll go for E55 it’s thinner and sexier then the dual keyboard E75 and ofcourse offers better bang for the buck
Comments are welcome on my choice :p
