MANILA, Philippines—Nokia’s latest e-mail-optimized devices were launched recently at an exclusive media event held at the private dining room at M2M of the Renaissance Hotel in Makati City.  Unveiled were the slim and stylish Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 multimedia computers that offer easy access to range of e-mail solutions, including Microsoft Exchange, the world’s most widely adopted corporate e-mail solution. Both devices are available at all Nokia stores at an approximate price of P23,900 for the Nokia E71 and P24,600 for the Nokia E66.

E IS FOR EXCITING TOO. Focused at the enterprise, the Nokia E71 and E66 nonetheless excite the senses with premium finishes and features, while meeting enterprise standards for security.

“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 e-mail. With both of these devices, we have responded to consumer feedback by making calendar and contacts available at the touch of a button,” said William Hamilton-Whyte, general manager, Nokia Philippines. “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.”

“We also recently opened our 29th Nokia Store in General Santos City and we were very pleased to see the Nokia E66 and Nokia E71 selling even without any advertising campaign,” added Hamilton-Whyte. “It’s really all word of mouth that’s pushing it right now.”

Easy, one-touch access to e-mail

THE Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 come fully equipped for easy-to-install and easy-to-use professional and personal e-mail. People who use Microsoft Exchange at work can access their e-mail using the Mail for Exchange mobile e-mail client, which comes preloaded with the Nokia E71 and Nokia E66. With these Nokia Eseries devices, people can get reliable real-time access to their e-mail, 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 E-mail solution as well as third-party e-mail 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.

“With mobile e-mail penetration and access to wireless applications growing at a rapid rate, Nokia is well-positioned with its extensive lineup of market-leading handsets to address the needs of consumers, high-end users and mobile professionals alike,” added Hamilton-Whyte. 

Sophisticated tool, premium design inside and out

WITH a stainless steel case, etched graphics and available in two colors—Grey Steel or White Steel—the Nokia E71 bears the hallmarks of Nokia quality and craftsmanship. The cool metallic finish is complemented by the bright color display, which showcases the Nokia E71 device’s brilliantly simple user interface. Designed for both one-handed and two-handed use, the Nokia E71 pays special attention to ergonomics, as evidenced by its narrow shape and especially designed keypad.

The Nokia E66 offers a premium look and feel with its stainless steel accents and smooth-sliding design. Sharing the same key features as the Nokia E71, including an enhanced calendar, contacts and customizable home-screen modes, the Nokia E66 offers unique additions, like an orientation sensor that automatically optimizes itself for full screen viewing or silences the ringer when the device is turned over. Also available in Grey Steel or White Steel, the Nokia E66 leaves a lasting impression as a sophisticated business tool in a distinct design.

Always entertaining

IN addition to e-mail 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. 

Built for businesses of all sizes

IN addition to serving entrepreneurs and smaller businesses, the Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 also come fully equipped 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 that gives mobile professionals access to their company intranet, and device lock and wipe to protect corporate information. Incorporating underlying technologies that allow IT departments to effectively manage security settings, corporate applications, data and advanced voice features, the Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 expand the range of Nokia Eseries devices that support enterprise-specific deployment.

So you want to be in ‘pictures’?

FOR someone involved in photography—be it for livelihood or self-expression or both—a good digital camera is just one half of the picture. Having an efficient printer or printing machine is the other half. Still, problems may occur when the final products are already in front of you. How many times should you go back to the shop for a reprint? How many hours should you wait?

Harry Potter Fans Are Angry

CALL it “Harry Potter and the Revolt of the Muggles.” A day after Warner Bros. announced that it would be pulling the sixth Harry Potter film off its November release schedule and instead releasing it next July to take advantage of skimpy competition in the summer, fans of the popular franchise were lighting up the Internet with their rage Friday.

Tom Cruise faces a crisis

WHO knew Tom Cruise could shake it like a Polaroid picture? Last week, he rocked audiences with his cameo as a profane, hip-jiggling, Machiavellian movie chief in Tropic Thunder. The role was designed to show the world—and Hollywood insiders—that the one-time king of Hollywood didn’t take himself too seriously and even had comedic chops.

Show & Tell: Go Brian 

JUST when we thought he had fallen off the social radar, Brian Gorrell is back with a vengeance. Well, not that vengeance, which is what has made him a sort of hero of the oppressed, but simply with a new look for his much-read six-month-old blog.

A Triangulation of Artists: Galleria Duemila’s Aguinaldo, De Guia & Robles

Galleria Duemila has always impressed me with its offering of artists shown in their widest context. The massive dimension of exhibits in the gallery is not necessarily in terms of huge canvases, though the gallery has had such exhibits in the past, but in the curatorship, which takes the artist outside the frame and into the social world where art really matters as commentator.
