Nokia E66

Written by ImagesLab.net on Sunday, June 29, 2008

I guessed by now most of us can tell that the E series from Nokia are generally targeting business users. A short time ago, Nokia hit the market again with their newly announced E series; called the Nokia E66.

As you can see from the image posted above, the E66 is apparently a slide phone. It runs on Symbian S60 3rd edition which is the same OS used in most N series model.

It has a 2.4 inches QVGA display, 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash, video calling, HSDPA data (with download speed of up to 3.6 Mbps), WiFi, microSD expandable memory (up to 8GB). Besides that, this business phone also comes with an FM radio, Bluetooth, USB and infra-red connectivity. Oops, I almost forgot to mention that the E66 is a GPS enable phone too!!

Since it is a business phone, applications like push email support (including with Microsoft Exchange), a capable web browser and a set of personal information management functions are all included in this device.

The features of this phone is more or less the same as the 6210 Navigator. The only difference is that the 6210 Navigator doesn't have the Wifi function. There's nothing much to complaint about for a business phone that has GPS, Wifi and camera all in it. The only drawback I would say is the non-touch screen panel. Don't you agree with me that it is necessary for a business phone to have a touch screen panel? It'll definitely be less time consuming when dealing with documents take for example Word or Excel files or even when checking e-mails because touch screen actually lessens the contact with the keypads and all you need to do is just point and tap way with the tip of your finger or a touch screen pen. Don't you think so?

Anyway, the Nokia E66 will be available in 2 shades namely the Grey Steel and White Steel and should be available from July 2008 onwards.
