Nokia announced another addition to its Eseries range, the Nokia E63 at Espoo, Finland.
A mid range handset (priced at a reasonable Euros 199 or Rs 12100 approximately exclusive of applicable taxes) that has a QWERTY keypad and features that are useful to people who need to manage their business and personal lives equally well.
“Our research shows that people want a device that deals with both their personal and professional lives, but helps them to separate the two. When someone sits down at lunch, they want to update their social network or browse their personal email account and they don’t want work getting in the way of that. It’s another great case of technology adapting to the people that use it,” says Soren Petersen, Senior Vice President, Nokia. “The Nokia E63 is a new proposition for Eseries – a messaging device where people will be just as involved in their social network as they are in their business network.” “People use Eseries to access their corporate mail, review their calendar and work in their business network, so the Nokia E63 still includes Wi-Fi connectivity, easy access to Mail for Exchange and dedicated key access to contacts, calendar and email” he adds.
I have never seen Nokia marketing the E-Series range of devices in India. But now, Nokia is Marketing E Series in Indian newspapers , TV Channels , Websites like never before. Though N Series is the major winner for Nokia in India , we can see that they also want to capture the professional / enterprise phone user.
May be India is just a part of the Nokia’s Asia Pacific market as the website which is promoting these devices is nokiaforbusiness.com/apac/eseries/
The E series starts from the E50 priced at Rs.8000 to the E90 Communicator priced at Rs.35000
