Nokia unveiled two new business focussed Eseries handsets earlier this week, the Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 (we missed them because we were caught in the throws of a Firefox 3 induced apoplectic rage).
The big push factor for both devices is their ease of email use with both supporting one touch access to emails, Microsoft Exchange (preloaded out of the box) and the Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email solution (Nokia’s proprietary Exchange equivalent). Both devices also come with the new switch mode allowing you to quickly flip between personal and work home screens.

Nokia’s Eseries phones are aimed at people who need to be able to do actual work on their mobiles - in particular the E61i and E90 with their QWERTY keyboards make phone-based word processing a feasible option.
Although Eseries phones are able to talk to several brands of printer via Bluetooth, IrDA and wifi when you are actually out and about with your phone its unlikely you will have a handy LaserJet 9000 in the boot of your car. What, then, to do with your freshly-typed masterpiece?
PDFPrinter is an aptly named S60 3rd Edition app that will act as a virtual printer for your Eseries device, converting any document your try to print into an Adobe PDF file.
Only the Eseries handsets offer the necessary printing components to enable this app to work, but the good news is that PDFPrinter will allow you to ‘print’ PDFs from almost any other app on your phone. The app will also compress your document and can keep it safe using up to 128-bit encryption.
PDFPrinter is available here and costs a measly 25 Euros.
No, we don’t know what’s going on in the picture either, but we do know that ROK has acquired a 51% stake in a US mobile comedy video producer Fun Little Movies (FLM), with the aim of taking FLM’s original 3G video content to operators worldwide.
What attracted ROK seems to be FLM’s awards for its product including Best Video Producer at the 2007 ME Awards. FLM has also been accredited for pioneering advertiser-funded content for mobile video.
FLM already has distribution deals with operators and manufacturers around the world, including the three main US operators. ROK will now be FLM’s main worldwide distributor.
ROK is believed to be using its ROK TV service to distribute the content, which means that in the UK and Europe, it’ll be available via Nokia Downloads on its ESeries handsets.
