The Nokia E65:

"Nokia is addressing the market demand from both businesses and individual users through complementary sales channels including IT, operator, and retail/e-tail. Business customers can now purchase fleets of Nokia Eseries devices through the IT channel, the preferred and trusted channel of businesses. Nokia supplies the devices to the IT channel through distribution agreements with Brightpoint and Ingram Micro. All approved value-added resellers (VARs) in the Nokia for Business Channel Program are authorized to resell the devices to their business customers. Today there are more than 140 approved VARs in this program in the U.S., and Nokia continues to enlist and train new participants.

For individual business users - or simply "busy" users - Nokia Eseries devices are available through a number of online retailers, including Dell.com, Gateway, Inc. and Mobileplanet.com. Devices are supplied to the retail channels through distribution agreements with Brightpoint and Ingram Micro.

Designed to mobilize the most-used business applications and processes, Nokia Eseries business devices offer advanced voice features with superior voice quality, business email with attachment handling, and manageability with business-class device security to the most demanding business users. Nokia Eseries business devices bridge the converging worlds of mobile telephony, corporate telephony, and Information Technology (IT). Dual-mode Nokia Eseries devices with wireless LAN, including Nokia E61i and Nokia E65, are ideal for integrating into fixed corporate telephony systems with voice solutions such as Nokia Intellisync Call Connect for Alcatel, Nokia Intellisync Call Connect for Cisco, and Avaya One-X Mobile Edition for Nokia.

The combination of Nokia Eseries devices and the Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite 8.0 mobileware platform significantly increases the potential for businesses to achieve new levels of productivity and competitive advantage. Nokia Intellisync Device Management capabilities allow businesses to comprehensively deploy, provision, secure and manage mobile device fleets, allowing over-the-air provisioning, software installation, security policy enforcement, remote device control, and easy lock and data-wipe for devices that are lost or stolen, helping protect company and personal data.

By also featuring cameras, video capabilities and music players, and giving users access to travel, weather, news, and financial information, Nokia Eseries devices let customers bridge their work and personal lives.
