He reckoed it shoud retail (subsidy free) for aorund €300.
Nokia hopes that the S60, Symbian OS based phone will be popular with IT departments because it can be managed from the same platform they use to manage other E series phones, but offers more of an entry level to S60 type functionalities.
To support the phone's introduction, the company has integrated support for OMA DM (device management) with its Intellisync mobile device manager platform. Tarja Kantola, senior product marketing manager for the device management solution, said the company was also developing advanced capbilities that would deliver a "trusted"relationship between a client device and server.
