It was back in June 2008 that the E71 was officially released to the public - the selling points for the E71 were a sleek, stylish do-it-all device that came with Mail for Exchange mobile email client - pre-loaded with the Nokia E71. Actually, the device boasted much much more than these attributes as you'll see below in my findings after having the pleasure of making the E71 my main device for 3 weeks... enjoy the recap, the images and the videos!
44% Projected Growth Rate on Smartphone Shipments Through 2008
Written by Research and Markets
Friday, 17 November 2006
DUBLIN, Ireland-- Research and Markets has announced the addition of SmartPhones
Research Report to their offering.
Smartphone shipments today are on the rise, with a 44% projected growth rate
through 2008. Personal digital assistants (PDAs) shipments are on the decline.
Cell phones have huge shipping volumes.
Cell phone vendors have been using nameless proprietary operating systems, which
were designed for basic telephony and simple user interfaces. Their capabilities
have been stretched to the maximum and cannot support "Smartphone" functionalities.
Cell phone vendors have sensed this huge opportunity and are leveraging new technologies
to enhance their market share. "I am comfortable in saying that we expect the
market for convergence devices like smartphones to double to 100 million units
in 2006," Chief Executive Jorma Ollila told a Nokia conference in Spain. Smartphones,
as voice-centric mobile devices and the driving force behind power electronics
development, are an emerging and changing technology.
"The market for converged mobile devices, or smartphones, demonstrates strong
growth potential as both enterprises and consumers continue to show interest in
improved devices combining data and telephony capabilities," says David Linsalata,
analyst in IDC's Mobile Devices program.
FEATURES
Comprehensive review of Smartphone operating systems technology (Symbian,Windows
Mobile, Linux, and Palm OS).
Role of middleware such as Java and .NET on these advanced operating systems.
Extensive case studies on how Smartphones enhance user productivity and encourage
deployment of newer
innovative applications.

vendors (Samsung, Philips, TI, and Freescale).
Examine functionality on existing leading Smartphones (Nokia, Motorola, Samsung,
Sony Ericsson, and Palm Treo).
Present current market share data for leading Smartphone manufacturers.
Smartphone market share projections from leading research companies (IDC, Canalys,
ABI).
