First Look: Nokia E63 – Create a balance at work and home!

After the success of Nokia E71, Nokia launches another handset in the E-Series with QWERTY keyboard, Nokia E63. Nokia E63 has 113 x 59 x 13mm talker with 320 x 240 display. The E63 is similar to the E71 but with certain design aspects, there is a subtle difference.

Motivation of the Product

“Our research shows that people want a device that deals with both their personal and professional lives, but helps them to separate the two,” said Nokia senior VP Soren Petersen.

Today, mobile professionals need to manage their business and personal information, and connect with clients, colleagues, family and friends. Whether it’s a quick text message or a detailed email with attachments, this stylish, all-in-one device helps you get things done when and where it matters most. Courtesy: Nokia site
