E is for Eseries
June 17th, 2010 | by Mobile Data Group |The Nokia Eseries is all about business. These are not mere phones people, they are the spinal cord of corporate communications. They are offices away from the office. They track the pulse of the Stock Exchange and the current of commerce. Business devices are all about messaging, flexible communications and reliability. We’ve picked out a few of Eseries’ myriad talents you should know about.
The Eseries is all about business communications. When you’re trying to prepare an RFP for the MD ASAP, what you want is QWERTY. All bar three of the Eseries range come with full keyboards to make twiddling your thumbs to create email on the move fast and accurate.
Eseries devices run Nokia Messaging, which will give you access to all the POP and IMAP you can throw at it. It’s also happy to talk using Mobile VPN, Nokia Intellisync Mobile, Mail for Exchange and Lotus Notes Traveler, enabling you to connect to corporate, or personal, email swiftly and securely.
Eseries users often have to hold meetings while they’re on the move and stay in touch with multiple members of the team. Eseries devices support conference calling across the range, plus group distribution of text messages. As you would expect they also handle call waiting, call divert and call hold without breaking a sweat.
There’s no point having a mobile office if you can’t look at office docs on the move. Eseries has you covered here, with Quick Office on board enabling you to open and edit Word, PowerPoint and Excel docs and there’s Microsoft Mobile Office in the pipeline.
Business users are people too, sometimes. Your phone should let you relax at the end of a busy day, so you need a decent digital still and video camera, a music player and radio. The Nokia E71 is a good example of mixing business with pleasure: as well as all the corporate features above, you’ve got a 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash and auto focus, a VGA video camera, support for six different digital music formats and an FM Radio.
E is for… You might be thinking Enterprise or Executive, and they are certainly useful memory aids for remembering what this series is all about. But no.. Nokia won’t be drawn on what the letters stand for in its model naming conventions: E just stands for E in this case.
