Nokia E60 review

E60 Nokia picture Nokia's new range of E-series (E for Enterprise, that is) business phones are very much aimed at the corporate market, and many of their impressive features are designed to be utilised in association with a company's IT strategy, accessing Wi-Fi networks and 3G and having the firmware to support various push email protocols (but without having each of them installed). The flanks of the relatively slim E60 are lavishly finished in black and silver and house useful features like the volume keys, voice record keys, infrared port and an expandable memory slot. It comes with a 64MB RS-MMC card to bolster the 64MB of internal memory. The 16-million-colour display is the best currently available on the mobile market. It’s a shame that there’s no camera, because this screen would really do pictures justice, but all applications look razor sharp and it’s great for viewing email attachments and surfing the web Nokia E60 Themes Free Nokia Themes download Nokia E60 Software Free Nokia Software download Nokia E60 Games Free Nokia Games download There's no camera onboard the E60, not because it's a cheap handset, but simply because many companies don't want them on their employees' mobiles. As cameras on phones improve, they're increasingly seen as a security risk, and even if your own firm is cool about the use of cameraphones on site, some of their partners may not be. Of course this also means that you won't be able to use the E60's 3G connection for video calling. To further underline the E60's business credentials, it comes with a mono headset - when was the last time you saw one of those on a mid to high-end phone? There's a music player onboard capable of supporting MP3 and AAC tracks - but you'll have to get yourself a stereo headset to appreciate it. It'll have to be a Nokia one though, since it needs to plug into the phone's Pop-Port interface. Email is a killer application on the Nokia E60, as with all of the Eseries devices. The E60 supports ISP accounts from the likes of Tiscali and BT, plus third-party email clients such as BlackBerry Connect, Visto email technology and Seven Always On Mail. It also supports Intellisync Wireless Email, a mobile application that pushes email, meeting requests, calendar updates and other requests through to your phone. It means that all your emails, drafts, deletions and attachments are synchronised with the email server, be it Exchange, Domino, IMAP or POP3. Thanks to attachment support, the Nokia E60 lets you view a range of attachments, and an attachment editor and viewer supports the most common features of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel, as well as Zip Manager and Adobe Reader. Other office-based applications include contacts and calendar with a week view and a notepad. The E60 packs in almost every business function that exists, including a few novel ones. Naturally the basics are covered - integrated speakerphone, vibration alert, voice commands, voice recorder, email, web browser, Bluetooth wireless connectivity. Then there are some less common but valuable features - 3G, Symbian applications, Push to Talk, an attachment viewer for browsing Office documents, Wireless LAN and a memory card (plus a generous 64 Mbytes of internal memory). Finally, there are a couple of novel features that might or might not prove useful. The first of these is the capacity to make VoIP calls via the wireless LAN connection. Making free calls is probably not top priority for the average business user, but this could still prove be a useful feature. There's also a feature that people will love or hate: Talking Caller ID. This means that the phone will speak the name of an incoming caller as part of the ringtone.
