Boosting productivity in style, Nokia E75 brings rich and exciting messaging experience to consumers

Jakarta – The first 10 units of the full QWERTY Nokia E75, a new addition to the Eseries range, were offered today at a charity auction to approximately 1,000 members of the Nokia Communicator Community (NCC). The Nokia E75 is the first device that comes with the company’s new email user interface, offering a richer messaging experience. The device also comes standard with Nokia Messaging that, when added to the company's corporate email clients, gives people the most efficient solution for accessing consumer and corporate email on the go.

At the Nokia Communicator Community gathering, the 10 NCC members who had successfully bid for the Nokia E75 became the first consumers in the world to own the device. The proceeds will be donated to WWF (World Wide Fund) Indonesia. The Nokia E75 is expected to be commercially available in Indonesia in end March.

In today's climate, the costs and benefits of technology are under closer scrutiny and email is an essential driver of efficiency and productivity. "Efficiency is about doing more with less and focusing on what's truly essential. With direct access to Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes, companies can potentially save up to a third of their operating costs as there's no need for middleware or additional server," says Hasan Aula, Executive Advisor & Director, Nokia Indonesia.

"With the Nokia E75 we took a lot of inspiration from the successful Nokia Communicator series. Owners of the Nokia Communicator range of devices loved the messaging functionality a full keyboard provided, but also used the traditional phone keypad a great deal. We kept these essential ingredients in the Nokia E75, significantly upgraded all of the features and made it as compact and efficient as possible. Nokia's aim is to make mobile email easily discoverable and available to everyone, no matter what their preference of device and service are. We believe that potentially, mobile email can become as ubiquitous as voice and SMS communications," Aula continues.

With the Nokia E75, people will no longer need to boot up a PC to get a full desktop email experience. The enhanced email UI includes folder and HTML email support, expandable views and sorting capability by date, sender and size, as well as the most commonly used email functions just a single click away. On top of email, the devices also offer improved calendar capability, as well as contacts and task management. The device comes with full Nokia Maps and assisted GPS with integrated license for turn-by-turn navigation, and a great gaming experience with N-Gage on board.

This new device comes in the wake of the most successful year for Eseries to date, with more than 10 million units shipped worldwide in 2008. "With companies looking to consolidate costs and assets, and with the number of email-enabled devices in the Nokia range and our direct access model, Nokia looks set to continue this performance in 2009," concludes Aula.
