Nokia E61

[The PIT]

Anyone know where I can get an secure vpn client for this phone???
It has a inbuilt client but it doesn't let you enter a password or username which is a bit useless.

Doesn't seem one around for free trial

I've come across movian vpn but theres no demo so I don't know if it works or not.

i don't know of one off hand but i will research

by the way; what are you planning on connecting to? just want add a warning; a lot of companies and corporation have very strict rules regarding VPN over wifi. Some companies i've worked for have policies of instant termination with out prejudice for emps who use VPN over wireless (on PDAs, blackberries etc..)

If this is anything like the N80 then you're going to find yourself getting nowhere fast.
I've got a user here who wants to collect e-mail on his N80 from our Exchange Server.

Our Exchange server is non-public facing so this requires VPN access into our network and then he can make a POP connection to the Exchange server and all would be well.
Alas...
The Nokia VPN client requires a "Profile" and the only two things that can generate this profile are a Cisco Concentrator (unless you've already got this you aren't going to buy it) or the NSSM (Nokia Security Service Manager).
The only way to get hold of the NSSM is by buying a Nokia VPN Gateway product - so you need to buy extra Nokia products just to get a configuration tool so that you could then in theory use the N80 with a non-Cisco or Non-Nokia setup.

I've now returned the N80 back to the user as a "Sorry, unsupported device" and if people want remote access to e-mail they will either have to stick to hardware running Microsoft OS's or Blackberry/Blackberry Connect devices.

No problems with permissions for VPN. After all they want there tech support team to try these items out.

(vpn over cdma? *bwahahahaha*)

interesting topic. doesn't seem like this technology has matured at all.

i did find this tidbit:

Apani makes the non-windows VPN clients for Nortel, but they only have a WinCE client

http://www.apani.com/vpnclients.html

VPN over wireless medium is still new and flaky even with proprietary software.

edit: if you are 'just testing' you might also want to consider the BB7270 (currently only Voip/wlan BB). it also has it's own client. I don't believe it's commercially available yet but you should still be able to get it directly from RIM.

edit2(last edit promise): regarding BB connect devices

Several leading manufacturers have also announced plans to make BlackBerry Connect technology available on their devices. These include:

* Nokia Eseries (Nokia E60, Nokia E61, Nokia E70)

No I've got an E61 for my own use but I can use also for testing at work as they're looking into these handheld devices.

Stumbling blocks I found so far. No Secure VPN apart from there own unless you want to risk buying one.

No way at the present to sync to Oracle Calander.
