Nokia E61

The Nokia E61 was one of the three initial phones in the Nokia E series designed for business users, and the first phone released with in-built IMAP IDLE support. The phone had a full thumb keyboard with the numeric pads in the middle with home keys easily locatable by touch.

The Symbian S60 operating system worked sufficiently in managing the device and provided for a wealth of applications to run on the phone. The noticeably missing elements that would become mainstream in the years following the phone's release were an inbuilt GPS (an external bluetooth GPS was required for location services), and an inbuilt camera with automatic geotagging--although the lack of a camera on a phone could be a marketing point for the business audience.
