The event also gave journalists, industry analysts and industry partners from across the region a close look at its latest range of devices from Nokia Eseries to Nokia Nseries and Xpress Music phones, enhancements, as well as an array of services currently being offered in the market.
“The Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 were designed for people who lead a mobile lifestyle and want quick and easy access to their personal and work email. With both of these devices, we have responded to consumer feedback by making calendar and contacts available at the touch of a button,” said Chris Carr, Vice President, Sales, Southeast Asia and Pacific, Nokia. “Equally important, people want well-crafted devices that are as beautiful to use as they are to behold. Stainless steel was chosen as the core material for these devices, giving them additional strength and a touch of class. Furthermore, the Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 offer all the latest multimedia features that people desire.”
The sleek Nokia E71 with full QWERTY keyboard and the stylish, slide-to-open Nokia E66 easily mobilize a broad range of personal or professional messaging needs, including Microsoft Exchange, the world’s most widely adopted corporate email solution. Both devices are expected to begin shipping in key markets in July.

the hallmarks of Nokia quality and craftsmanship. The cool metallic finish is
complemented by the bright colour display, which showcases the Nokia E71
device's brilliantly simple user interface. Designed for both one-handed and
two-handed use, the Nokia E71 pays special attention to ergonomics, as
evidenced by its narrow shape and specially designed keypad.

with its stainless steel accents and smooth sliding design. Sharing the same
key features as the Nokia E71, including an enhanced calendar, contacts and
customizable home screen modes, the Nokia E66 offers unique additions, like an
orientation sensor that automatically optimizes itself for full screen viewing
or silences the ringer when the device is turned over. Available in grey steel
or white steel version, the Nokia E66 leaves a lasting impression as a
sophisticated business tool in a distinct design.
