"The Nokia E73 Mode brings style and function in an affordable device
without compromise," said Mark Slater, vice president, Sales, Nokia. "Working

a 'Work & Life' solution that allows consumers and businesses to be as
productive as possible, while still providing an exceptional consumer value
and performance."
The thinnest full QWERTY keyboard smartphone available from T-Mobile, the
Nokia E73 Mode, is the perfect device for business customers and consumers
who appreciate both form and function. T-Mobile customers also continue to
get great mobile coverage with the device's Wi-Fi calling capabilities, which
allow consumers to use both cellular and Wi-Fi networks for voice calling.
With Mail for Exchange, based on Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, consumers can
receive their corporate e-mail, contacts and calendar pushed directly to
their device.
"T-Mobile is committed to providing a variety of devices that serve our
customers' needs to stay connected to the central people in their lives
including family, friends and even colleagues from the office," said Travis
Warren, director, product marketing, T-Mobile USA. "With the Nokia E73 Mode,
we're excited to offer a premium device at an attractive price that helps Mom
and Dad put work aside and make their family the top priority."
The Nokia E73 Mode comes pre-loaded with services and applications to
make life easier, more fun and more efficient. With Ovi Maps, a turn-by-turn
navigation solution from Nokia using the device's built-in GPS at no
additional cost, consumers can get from point A to B with voice-guided
directions - even when walking. Also pre-loaded on the device is the Ovi
Store by Nokia, which provides access to thousands of compelling applications
and games including "Shazam" and "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare." In addition,
Ovi Store enables a simplified purchasing experience for consumers by
allowing payment for content billed to their monthly T-Mobile bill or via
credit card.
The Nokia E73 Mode includes support for services such as IBM Lotus
Traveler, support for and access to Salesforce.com, Bloomberg and more to
help business customers bring their office with them while on the go. The
Nokia E73 Mode also comes pre-loaded with many business productivity tools
allowing employees to take their office with them wherever they may be. With
applications such as Ovi Files, QuickOffice, Adobe PDF Manager and ZIP
Manager, files can be easily accessed, sent, viewed and edited right from the
device, allowing customers to be more productive from nearly anywhere.
The Nokia E73 Mode comes with a full QWERTY keyboard, 5 megapixel camera
with flash and autofocus, Wi-Fi for voice and data, long battery life,
personal and corporate e-mail access, a full HTML Web browser with support
