"Every aspect of the Nokia E71 is designed to deliver a superior mobile experience. From the flowing stainless steel design, large brilliant screen, and QWERTY keyboard to a wide selection of messaging applications and services, this smartphone is already receiving rave reviews from consumers and business users alike," said Bill Plummer, Vice President of Go-To-Market for Nokia Americas.

"I've been waiting for the E71 for a long time; I've followed every bit of information about its release. The reason I waited so long is that this device has everything I want my smartphone to have - style, GPS, Wi-Fi, camera that can take video, 3G and a full keyboard - competitors devices don't compare," said Alan Mitchell, one guest at Nokia's Manhattan event.

The new smartphone by Nokia supports the Ovi services, and A-GPS together with Nokia Maps 2.0 allow for using the handset as a handy navigator. One shouldn’t forget that the device belongs to the Enterprise series, that’s why it offers a wide range of opportunities for handling text files, e-mail, organizer and other applications. The capability of data encryption for both the onboard storage and the memory expansion card refer to the same category.

Let’s also mention the VPN and VoIP support, calendar and contacts synchronization as well as a 3.2 Mpix camera.

The gadget costs about $500.
