Original maker launch supports corporate email and IP telephony; historical servers and downloads may no longer operate. | Business/personal home-screen profiles; Mail for Exchange, Nokia Intellisync and POP/IMAP email. PDF reader, ZIP manager and office-document viewing; editing required a Quickoffice upgrade in GSMArena's test, whereas TechRadar describes document creation. Exact tested software/upgrade status differs between reports. Historical online services may no longer operate. |
| Release detail | Nokia announced E60 with E61/E70 on 12 October 2005, planning the first quarter of 2006. Nokia's 2006 annual report confirms actual first E60 shipments during 2006; earliest maker-supported retail month unresolved, so year precision retained. The announcement and planned quarter are not first-sale dates. No predecessor link inferred. | Announced 16 June 2008 alongside E71, with July shipments forecast. Nokia's 2008 annual report confirms actual E66 shipments during that year; earliest worldwide retail month remains unresolved. No speculative E65 predecessor relation added while that model is absent. |
| In the box | – | GSMArena's tested package contains a compact charger, 2.5 mm headset, leather case and 2 GB microSD card with maps; regional contents may differ |

| USB | Pop-Port accessory/data connector with USB-compatible cable and infrared; proprietary headset connection, not a standard headphone socket | Micro-USB and infrared; separate 2.5 mm AV/headset connector. GSMArena describes USB 2.0 compatibility; no Hi-Speed rate inferred from that label. |
| Positioning | External Bluetooth GPS receiver needed for the Positions, Navigator and Landmarks applications in GSMArena's exact test; no integrated GPS | Built-in GPS with assisted GPS and Nokia Maps; original reviews describe temporary/subscription-based voice guidance. Historical online map services are not promised available today. |
