E50 is the latest addition to Nokia E-Series of business phones. With a very classical - almost unappealing - look, this phone however features a couple of interesting voice features:
  Mobile access to PBX solutions to combines the benefits of fixed-line office and mobile phones
  High-quality handsfree speakerphone allows conference calls and multitasking (combining voice calls with calendar viewing, SMS, and email)
  Quadband GSM works on 5 continents (where GSM networks supported)
  Easy speaker activation and mute when call is active
  Nokia Office Tools allow more effective communication with work teams:

• Create and edit work-related or personal teams
• Initiate conference calls or Push-to-talk sessions with your team
• Use a team-specific conference number for conference calls
• Send SMS, MMS, and voice messages and emails to your team

I have been able to play with the device for a couple of minutes. It's a real thin and light S60 phone with zero gadget available. From what I have heard, it should be available in two fashions: with or without camera.

The device lacks a little bit of personnality I think but it may might be a very good choice as an upgrade from a feature phone to discover the ease of power of Symbian OS and the S60 platform.
