Nokia Eseries

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nokia E52

The Nokia Eseries consists of business-oriented smartphones running Symbian OS, with emphasis on enhanced connectivity and support for corporate e-mail push services, as well as enterprise-styled products and many featuring QWERTY keyboards. All devices have advanced office features through its S60 platform. Phones equipped with Wireless LAN also provide a VoIP client (SIP Protocol). Throughout the series' lifetime its main competitors were BlackBerry products from Research In Motion.[1][2] The Eseries was marketed until 2011.

Announcements[edit]

On October 12, 2005, mobile phone manufacturer Nokia announced what the company refers to as the Eseries, consisting of the three mobile phones, the Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70.[3]

On May 18, 2006, Nokia announced the addition of the E50 to the series, which it refers to as a "business device" rather than a "smartphone".[4]

On February 12, 2007, Nokia announced the addition of three new devices to the series; E61i, E65 and E90 Communicator.[5]

On April 11, 2008, Nokia Australia has advised that the E61i will be discontinued in May 2008 and be replaced by a more featured but smaller E71. Later releases included E72, E52 and E5.

The last Eseries device was the Nokia E7 from 2011.
