Nokia E52. Business and beyond
As with all of the E-Series of Nokia phones, the E52 is primarily a business phone. While not sporting the QWERTY-keyboard of many of the best known business phones, the E52 has a number of innovations amongst its many other features that make it a very viable option for business users. Chief amongst these are:
- Mobile VPN (mobile virtual private network) – allows continuous access to network resources and information available on company intranets.
- Call Connect support – lets you hook your E52 up to your work phone system, so you can be contactable through just one number and have one voicemail box
- Ovi files – access through your phone to all the documents, photos and other files that are stored on your main computer’s hard drive (although there’s only a 60-day trial for this piece of magic)
- Battery life – a whoppingly hugely massive 25 days standby, meaning if you’re travelling from one meeting to the next country to the next boardroom, you won’t need to pack your charger
And it’s this last point that makes us realise that not only business users could get a lot out of the Nokia E52. After all, who doesn’t want an amazing battery life? And with this thing weighing in at an astonishing less-than-100 grams, with its impressively featured camera and video recording, it’s digital compass, A-GPS and all the other smartphone shenanigans you’ve come to expect, maybe it’s not just the suited and booted who will appreciate this. There’s a Nokia E52 review here for a full specs and features rundown, or check out this truly, utterly awful video made by non other than Nokia themselves. When oh when will they learn that this is what they pay marketing agencies to do for them…
