Nokia Releases E6, X7 Smartphones Based on Symbian Anna

Nokia announced the Nokia E6 and the Nokia X7, two new smartphones aimed at business people and entertainment enthusiasts respectively. The two devices are the first Nokia smartphones to contain the updated Symbian software, with new icons and usability enhancements such as improved text input, a faster browser and refreshed Ovi Maps.



Following on from Nokia's successful Nokia E71 and Nokia E72 devices, the Nokia E6 is a sleek business smartphone with a full QWERTY keypad and a high-resolution touch display. Designed using materials such as glass and stainless steel, the compact device can be easily used with either one hand or two. The Nokia E6 offers improved battery life and access to Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Communicator Mobile and Microsoft SharePoint.

The Nokia X7 is an entertainment-focused smartphone with a large 4-inch display ideal for gaming, and an 8-megapixel camera for capturing pictures and HD-quality video. The Nokia X7 is made of stainless steel and glass and gives a solid and durable feel in the hand. The Nokia X7 comes preloaded with the Galaxy on Fire HD and Asphalt 5 HD games.



The Nokia E6 and Nokia X7 are also the first smartphones to have the complete update of the Symbian software. This update offers a host of usability enhancements, including fresh, new icons, improved text input, faster internet browsing, and a refreshed Ovi Maps application with an improved search and new public transport routes. The renewed software also offers a set of new features aimed at business users in particular, including enterprise-grade security with hardware-accelerated encryption and new e-mail features such as full meeting request support.

In coming months the software update, which is nick-named Symbian Anna, will also be available as standard on the newly shipping Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia C7 and Nokia C6-01 devices, as well as available to download on previously purchased models of those same smartphones.
