Announcements edit
On October 12, 2005, mobile phone manufacturer Nokia announced what the company refers to as the Eseries, consisting of the three mobile phones, the Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70.[3]
On May 18, 2006, Nokia announced the addition of the E50 to the series, which it refers to as a "business device" rather than a "smartphone".[4]
On February 12, 2007, Nokia announced the addition of three new devices to the series; E61i, E65 and E90 Communicator.[5]
On April 11, 2008, Nokia Australia has advised that the E61i will be discontinued in May 2008 and be replaced by a more featured but smaller E71. Later releases included E72, E52 and E5.
The last Eseries device was the Nokia E7 from 2011.
