Rafe and I look at Nokia's 'Refresh' of the Nokia E61i, in both text form and in AAS video podcast form - take your pick! The additional box contents will significantly help SMEs, as we explain in detail, although home users won't benefit significantly. Let's hope that 2008 brings a faster, FP1 E61-alike with much more RAM.
"A ‘refreshed’ version of the E61i is now available in European markets. There is nothing startling new, the additions revolve around some extra marketing documentation and a microSD card with Mail for Exchange and Nokia Maps pre-installed.
The refresh may at first glance seem rather mundane. After all, Mail for Exchange and Nokia Maps are available as free downloads – surely anyone could make this package up themselves? However, this rather misses the point - just because it can be done doesn’t mean it is done. The aim here is to create a better out of the box experience for the novice user. Moreover, this is not something that is aimed at the consumer market, but rather is something for small businesses that are looking for an easy to use and, just as importantly, easy to implement mobile email solution.
While typical readers of All About Symbian will be quite comfortable installing extra software and otherwise customising their phones, this is not necessarily true for others. A significant number of people are either unaware of the ability, or lack the incentive, to add software to their phone. This problem is particularly acute with the more advanced software and services found on smartphones. By creating a mobile mapping and email solution that is not only available out of the box, but given extra emphasis by the quick start guide and marketing ties, Nokia can go at least some way to solving this problem."
