In addition, the Nokia E50 has a MP3/AAC player, email client and an XHTML web browser. In addition to standard POP3/SMTP/IMAP email, the E50 can support BlackBerry Connect, Visto and other push email protocols. It can also be used with the Avaya Communication Manager system, so the E50 can be integrated into corporate PABX installations.
It's not the most whizzy phone in the world, although the specifications are clearly aimed at business users. Nokia have aimed to make the E50 a versatile business phone that's not too showy, and they seem to have succeeded, although the many businesses will not like the inclusion of a digital camera.
Every time we see a business phone like this, we ask - is it the successor to the Nokia 6310i? Well.. no. Although the Nokia E50 has the battery life and the practical features of the 6310i, the camera and expandable memory are not really necessary for most business users.
Nokia say that the E50 will be available during Q2/early Q3 2006 at an estimate cost of 400 Euros / 550 USD / 300 GBP before tax and subsidy.
