MWC 2009: Nokia E55, E75 and Ovi Store
During their press conference this afternoon Nokia presented the new business E55, E75 and the Ovi Store. It's about time we take a closer look.
Lets begin with the E55. This device is a very thin business candybar, that will get available this summer. The price will approximately be 265 euro before taxes. The E55 is a half QWERTY smartphone; Nokia is calling it the thinnest smartphone ever.
Nokia E75
The E75 is aiming at its messaging features and has Nokia Messaging. This application enables you to use for instance your Yahoo Mail, Hotmail and a lot more and makes it easy to write and send emails. The full QWERTY keyboard is making this even more complete. The phone has a private and a work modus, as is comparable to the one on the E71, that makes the device interesting and suitable to also use for your private life. The E75 is expected to be available in two months and will cost approximately 375 Euro.
Ovi Store
As we'd already expected Nokia has announced its own App Store; the Ovi Store. The Ovi Store chooses the content it offers depending on your location. It also gives you recommendations depending on the downloads of your friends. The Ovi Store isn't only meant for smartphones, but is also suitable for S40 devices. The Store combines the best features of existing services and can be used in more than 150 countries.
The N97 is the first Nokia device that integrates the Ovi Store. This device is getting available this summer.
