Features:

With a solid stainless steel body, this phone has a smooth sliding mechanism. It features an alpha numeric keypad, and lacks a standard QWERTY keyboard. Accelerometer automatically turns the screen from portrait into landscape when the phone is tilted sideways. Also, the ringtone of an incoming call automatically silences when the phone is tilted. Scrolling has been accelerated with the clever Navi-key. It comes in two decent colors, Grey Steel and White Steel.

It complies with the EU RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC, the China legislation “Management Methods on the Prevention and Control of Pollution caused by Electronic Information Products” commonly known as “China RoHS”, the Energy Star, and EU Code of Conduct.

It gives you an enhanced emailing experience with access to MS Exchange servers. MS Office Documents can also be viewed. Performance level is much better than the previous version; E65. It uses 369 MHz ARM 11 CPU and 128 MB of SDRAM.

With an option to expand phone’s memory by 8 GB, you get a huge storage capacity. W-Wi-Fi and HSDPA promise high speed internet connectivity while you are on the move. Local connectivity is supported by Bluetooth, IR and USB port. GPS and Nokia maps provide essential navigation when needed.

A 3.2 mp camera with video recording, a video call secondary camera, a media player and a visual FM radio take it above than a mere Enterprise Phone.
