Last year February 2009 at the Mobile Web Congress, Nokia has officially announced another members of the famous E-Series family both of which are equally impressive, the Nokia E75 and Nokia E55. Both smartphones were also release last year.  The Nokia E75 slider phone is the successor to the highly popular E71 which was released last 2008, while the Nokia E55 is a follow up to the affordable smartphone E51.  Both mobile phones are said to be loaded with Nokia’s new email interface which according to Nokia give a more efficient corporate email solution.

To make this possible, Nokia has partnered with Microsoft and Lotus Notes.  The said email interface would have folder and HTML email support, expandable views and sorting capability by date, sender and size. Very similar to the email experience that you have on your desktop. In addition to that, the new email interface also have improved calendar functionality, contact and task management.

And catering not only the corporate and smartphone users, the Nokia E75 is also loaded with N-Gage functionality for mobile gamers as well. In addition, the Nokia E75 has full support for Nokia Maps and assisted GPS feature with a 3-month license for turn-by-turn navigation and Nokia’s Ovi service, useful for sharing files via web.

Similarly, the Nokia E55 also features aGPS, Nokia Maps and N-Gage support.  It is geared up for consumers who are looking for a mid-range smartphone and its best feature is its half QWERTY keyboard which was well loved by Nokia E51 users transitioning from the standard keypads of regular mobile phones.
