The sleek Nokia 'E71' with full qwerty keyboard and the stylish, slide-to-open Nokia 'E66' easily mobilize a broad range of personal or professional messaging needs, including Microsoft Exchange, the world's most widely adopted corporate email solution.

With these Nokia Eseries devices, people can get reliable real-time access to their email, calendar, contacts and tasks, as well as download attachments like Word, Excel, Powerpoint or PDF files directly to their devices.

Both of them support email accounts from more than a thousand internet service providers (ISPs) around the world, as well as Gmail, Yahoo! mail and Hotmail. Additionally, they support the Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email solution as well as third party email solutions like System Seven and Visto Mobile.

With a stainless steel case, etched graphics and available in two colors(grey steel or white steel), the Nokia E71 features metallic finish complemented by the bright color display. Designed for both one-handed and two-handed use, the Nokia E71 pays special attention to ergonomics, as evidenced by its narrow shape and specially designed keypad.

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.

The Nokia E71 and the Nokia E66 are expected to retail at EUR 350, before applicable taxes and subsidies. Both devices are expected to begin shipping in key markets in July.
