Nokia launches new corporate phones
Helsinki: The world's biggest mobile phone maker Nokia, which aims to capture a bigger slice of the corporate market, said it planned to launch three new mobile devices for business users.

The company's E60, E61 and E70 phones would be available on market shelves in the first quarter of next year. The phones have been designed to work with mobile e-mail systems like RIM's BlackBerry Connect and Nokia's own Business Center, launched last month to make e-mail available on a wider range of phones.

They would also support mobile e-mail from Visto Mobile, Seven and Good Technology Inc, the company said.

The new devices include a range of GSM frequencies and 3G capability as well as WLAN and Bluetooth short-range radio technologies, differentiating them from some competitors.

Nokia said it expects the new phones to sell for €350-450 ($420-$540), excluding operator subsidies and local taxes.
