Nokia unveiled its impressive new business platform, the E71 today much to the delight of converged users everywhere. The handset is an email-focused business device despite the fact that the phone will not include Research in Motion's (RIM) BlackBerry service (which has been traditionally supported on all of Nokia's previous corporate models).

Housed in a tasteful stainless steel case with etched graphics, the E71 will be available in gray or white steel colors combinations. The metallic finish is complemented by a full color display and is designed for one- or two-handed use.

The E71 will also offer professional and personal email. Microsoft Exchange users can access their email using the pre-loaded Mail for Exchange mobile email client. Consumers get real-time access to their email, calendar, contacts and tasks, as well as download attachments including Word, Excel, Powerpoint or PDF files.

The unit is expected to ship next month worldwide and will retail for roughly $550.
