Nokia E50 review: Economy business class - read the full textNokia E50 is another Series 60 Symbian 9.1 smartphone from the famous Finnish manufacturer. It’s the small sizes and ergonomic shape that attract most of the attention. The new quad-band handset has connectivity features like Infrared, Bluetooth, USB, GPRS and EDGE. As it comes at a low price, it will be a phone with many fans. Packed with features in small dimensions, coming at the right price, E50 is surely a bright addition on the GSM phones’ market shelves.

I bought this phone 6 months back. It's a nice stylish phone. The only problem i have with this is i cann't set-up a recurring alarm. In other words , i have to set up alarm everyday.

The phone is painfully slow. I changed it from Nokia 6630. It was one of the best devices so far I used in all aspects.

Battery life is completely disaster- After being fully charged the battery stands only for ca 90 mins talk!!!

Been using the phone for weeks now and i love it so far. Font size problem was solved by changing the fonts...how did i do that here is the link

SMS sending is smooth and fast. I don't need sms accelerator to send messages fast. Maybe this is because i have the latest software version. (6.41.3.0). I can do other tasks while sending sms. The phone itself will redirect me to stand-by mode while it is sending a message. Isn't that great?

Great phone. Good sound quality.

Is there any point of leaving messages saying ' the font size is fine' when clearly it's not for some?? it is for me but thats not the point, some people have issues with it.

Seems like the only way to improve it is to upload a new font

I suggest that if u want a bigger font buy glasses and this goes to everyone who said the font is too small come off of that now it's not a computer. I think this is one of the best phones on the market the resolution is great, it is light but yet,it has a sturdy feel to it.The only cons i have with the phone is that nokia forgot the auto lock but i guess they did because u can actually set the phone to autolock on its ow after a certain amt of time has elapse and u determine how long that is. Also i've had my phone for about 3 months and has dropped on several occasions and now i find that it freezes sometimes when i am trying to do more than one thing on the phone at a time. Otherwise
this is a great phone u people need to get to know the phone inside out then u will stop HATING and learn to APPRECIATE.
YES I WOULD BUY IT AGAIN !!!! GO to ownskin.com and download free EE50 themes and make the phone yours, not what the manufacturers sold..

Does this phone have a phone charming slot? I it seems silly but its really important to me, the diffrence between tthis and the 5500 sport. I think I see it on the top-right hand side...

Good sleek and sturdy set with lots of office loaded features. Nice one to start as a budget Smart phone. However with goodies there are certain loop holes that may be solved by Nokia.

Bluetooth connectivity: PC Suite(ver 6.82.22) connectivity to the phone is not possible with all the versions of Bluetooth on PC. It specifically requires 2.0.x version(as mentioned by Nokia).

My HP/Compaq Laptop having 3.0.X version(BT by HP 3.0.1) gives an error message while trying Bluetooth connectivity.

Video recording is very poor and frames can be easily made out while the recording is on.

Micro SD card should have been a standard add-on at such price(if 5300/5200 can have them)

Updates on the software for removing these problems should have been out on the website by now to enhace further sales of the product.

Some Games should be available free for download to the registered customers for E-50 as an add on with the updates of the software for BT connectivity.

The CD that accompanies with the phone has a speech software, but not accepted by the phone as Ellen is pre-installed. No instructions as to how it can be loaded is informed to E-50 buyers.

Being a business class phone some Expense related software should be made available to E-50

Battery does not hold good for even 4 hrs of talk time/ 150 hrs of stand by time with 5c.

Software update for multiple/daily alarm facility should be provided so as to avoid setting alarm every day.

Finally if the software is update with the minimum possible, this may over cross the sales of the ever green Sony-J70.

Been using this fone for almost a month, and comparing it to my previous nokia 6230, message sending is way too slow, you have to wait for the message to be sent before doing another task... too slow... frequently hangs.... sold it ang gone back to my old 6230... :(
