Nokia today announced the latest addition to the Nokia Eseries family of business devices, the Nokia E50.

With the addition of the Nokia E50 to its portfolio of busines class devices, Nokia is continuing to expand workforce mobility by offering advanced call features. The add-on business voice solution enables easy integration with an existing business voice infrastructure (PBX). For example, mobile least cost routing helps companies save on long distance and international calls by routing mobile phone calls through the corporate PBX, thereby removing cost barriers associated with busines mobility. Companies with Avaya Communication Manager can already connect the Nokia E50 directly to their company phone networks, using the Avayaone-X Mobile Edition client preloaded on their phones. With Avaya client, the Nokia E50 works like a traditional office phone enabling services such as short number usage, call forwarding, one-touch voice mail and extension dialing. In addition, the phone will include a CD featuring a demonstration of the Avaya one-X Mobile Edition, as well as a client installer.

The Nokia E50 comes with a set of pre-installed business applications that help increase the productivity of mobile profesionals. The Nokia Team Suite, part of the Nokia Office Tools ofering, helps to facilitate conference calls and to initiate push-to-talk sessions with selected team members easily and fast, through a built-in speakerphone. The Nokia E50 also includes a search function enabling fast queries into critical data such as, contacts, emails and mesages. Important business atachments received via email, such as documents, presentations, and spread sheets, can be swiftly accessed via the Quickoffice viewer.

The Intelisync Device Management offered by Nokia enables remote enterprise grade device management, without additional client software installation, on OMA DM capable devices such as the Nokia E series. For IT administrators, an easy-to-use administrative web-interface allows remote management of OMA DM compliant business devices, with acces to a device management server located either within a company's own premises or at a service provider's facilities.
