Nokia today announces the availability of Nokia Eseries business devices in the U.S. through a variety of channels, allowing both business and individual users to obtain enterprise-grade dual-mode devices - including the new Nokia E61i and Nokia E65 - in this market.

For individual business users - or simply "busy" users - Nokia Eseries devices are available through a number of online retailers, including Dell.com, Gateway, Inc. and Mobileplanet.com. Devices are supplied to the retail channels through distribution agreements with Brightpoint and Ingram Micro.

Nokia Eseries business devices offer business email with attachment handling, and manageability with business-class device security to the most demanding business users. Nokia Eseries business devices bridge the converging worlds of mobile telephony, corporate telephony, and Information Technology (IT). Dual-mode Nokia Eseries devices with wireless LAN, including Nokia E61i and Nokia E65, are ideal for integrating into fixed corporate telephony systems with voice solutions such as Nokia Intellisync Call Connect for Alcatel, Nokia Intellisync Call Connect for Cisco, and Avaya One-X Mobile Edition for Nokia.

The combination of Nokia Eseries devices and the Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite 8.0 mobileware platform significantly increases the potential for businesses to achieve new levels of productivity and competitive advantage. Nokia Intellisync Device Management capabilities allow businesses to comprehensively deploy, provision, secure and manage mobile device fleets, allowing over-the-air provisioning, software installation, security policy enforcement, remote device control, and easy lock and data-wipe for devices that are lost or stolen, helping protect company and personal data. 

By also featuring cameras, video capabilities and music players, and giving users access to travel, weather, news, and financial information, Nokia Eseries devices let customers bridge their work and personal lives. Additional information about Nokia E61i, Nokia E65 and the entire portfolio of Nokia Eseries devices is available at www.nokiaforbusiness.com. Nokia E61i and Nokia E65 are expected to retail for approximately $400, but actual price will vary by outlet.
