13th September - Cingular Wireless and Nokia today introduced
the Nokia E62 device, a robust, sleek device built specifically
for wireless email whose attractive price promises to take
superior mobile email access beyond the executive suite and
into the hands of the everyday wireless user.
The Nokia E62 device will be available exclusively from Cingular
in the U.S. for as low as $149.99. Measuring barely half an
inch thick, it features a full QWERTY keyboard with large
backlit keys for easy typing, and a sizeable, high-resolution
16 million color screen measuring 320 x 240 pixels. Whether
they're business people or consumers, Nokia E62 device users
will have a variety of popular secure email platforms from
which to choose. These include Good Mobile Messaging, Cingular
Xpress Mail, BlackBerry Connect, Mail for Exchange (direct
push corporate email from Microsoft Exchange), the Nokia push
solution via Intellisync Mobile Suite from Nokia, and standard
clients such as POP3, IMAP and SMTP. In addition, the device
includes a pre-loaded instant messaging application.
Beyond email, customers can view, edit and create documents,
spreadsheets and presentations. They also can surf the Internet
with ease using the device's robust S60 browser, developed
by Nokia. This gives them access to a treasure trove of Web
content via Cingular's MEdia Net(SM).
"The Nokia E62 device is a game changer that will bring
the power of wireless email to just about everyone who wants
to experience it," said Kent Mathy, president of the
Business Markets Group, Cingular's business-to-business organization.
"Nokia has built a rock-solid device with an ultra-thin,
modern form factor, support for several popular business and
personal wireless email platforms, a great Web browsing experience
and unsurpassed Nokia voice quality - all at a great price."
"Nokia and Cingular understand that the user is king
in the mobile device world, whether choosing a device for
business or personal use," said Mary McDowell, executive
vice president and general manager, Nokia Enterprise Solutions.
"That's why Nokia E62 offers the most comprehensive features
and solutions to manage the complexities of our customers'
work and personal lives -- giving new meaning to 'smart and
stylish'. Offering the industry's broadest choice of email
options, and being IT-ready for any business environment globally,
Nokia E62 delivers on the promises of the entire range of
Nokia Eseries devices. We are very excited about the opportunity
to provide this offering to the US market with Cingular and
truly take mobile email to the masses."
The Nokia E62 device boasts exceptional Nokia voice quality
with approximately five hours talk time. In addition to a
crystal-clear connection, users get such features as speakerphone,
six-way conference calling, voice dialing, voice commands
for menu shortcuts, and a dedicated voice key for easy use
of voice recording.
Cingular customers can use the Nokia E62 device whether they
are taking it to the other side of town, across the country
or halfway around the world. In the United States, Nokia E62
is powered by Cingular's ALLOVER(TM) network, the nation's
largest digital wireless voice and data network that has the
fewest dropped calls of any national carrier. The nationwide*
ALLOVER wireless data network, powered by EDGE, is the largest
national high-speed wireless data network in the United States
with availability in 13,000 cities and towns and along some
40,000 miles of major highways. When abroad, customers can
use the Nokia E62 device in more than 180 countries for voice
and over 100 countries for data.
"With Nokia E62, Cingular and Nokia have brought everything
together - applications, sleek design, and price all on the
nation's largest national high speed wireless data network
- to make it even easier for consumers and business customers
to experience what is today the key application in wireless
data, namely, email," Mathy said. "Once customers
experience the power and convenience of wireless email, they
are naturally inclined to try and use the broad array of other
wireless data capabilities we make available."
Nokia E62 will be available beginning September 29, 2006 in
Cingular Wireless retail stores nationwide, select national
retailers, on www.cingular.com and through Cingular's B2B
direct sales organization.
