Nokia E66 review: Clean-cut business tool
It's been a while since mobile phones became an essential business tool and a huge number of devices are being specially designed for the purpose (not even mentioning the camera-free versions of some handsets). Nokia Eseries...

> In reply to jonzo @ 2009-05-21 11:17 from m27CI've had the phone for about 6 months now and it's performed perfectly. The build quality is absolutely superb and really does make most other phones look pretty cheap eg Nokia N95/96. It has never crashed except on a couple of occasions where I tried to launch Nokia Maps and the other GPS utility simultaneously. I'm a pretty light user, maybe 5 texts and 15mins of calls per day and in my opinion the battery life is no problem. I easily get about 48hrs out of it before it's down to its last 25% or so and I charge it, so far I've never used it until it runs out so can't give a maximum life, but I would guess 4 days max.
GPS lockon takes ages for me (I'm not sure if AGPS is properly configured and assisting), lockon is 2/3 minutes on average. Best case scenario if you're outdoors and standing still it can take 30secs-1min. If you're in a moving car and not holding it against the window then sometimes it hasnt found you after an hour (but this is unusual). Good thing is though that once it's got a lock in a car it hardly ever loses it, even if you put it a little away from the window. GPS with Nokia Maps has lasted for well over 4hrs with still leaving 25%-50% battery left.

Trying to work out if this is the phone for me: downs are apparently TERRIBLE battery life (only 12 hrs max - not mentioned in review - is this right?? Users out there???); 2.5mm jack (a pain, but gotta be because it's so slim), frequent crashes - and of course mediocre camera. But the battery is the biggie. I'd appreciate ANY user feedback on this - and crashing. Cheers.

> In reply to Jimmy P @ 2008-11-06 12:05 from wHSZIf you're a heavy texter, definitely opt for the E66. I tried both phones and bought the E66. The E71 is amazing, but the QWERTY keyboard makes the keys just a bit too small for serious texting. This is my first Nokia phone and it's really quite brilliant. I had Garmin GPS maps installed on it, and they're terrific (and there's no subscription required). Another difference between the two phones is the inclusion of an accelerometer with the E66 which auto-rotates the screen orientation in ANY application (not just selected ones like the iPhone). The E71's screen is already in landscape mode, so it doesn't have this auto-rotate feature. With the E66's accelerometer, you can also silence an incoming call by simply turning the phone over.

Yes, it's true: you can only view these files, but not edit them. You can upgrade the installed version of quick-office to a full-version that can also edit word, excel,... files, but that will cost about 55€ :-(
BTW: the battery life is very very poor...

I have had the e71 for a few months and I have to agree with the reviewer's points. The weakest part of both these phones is the pathetic speakerphone which is only good enough for a quiet room. Anywhere there is ambient noise present like in a crowd of people talking and you won't hear anything.

I am finding a strange problem with the FLASH Light of my E66. It stops working when it is dark. Works fine if the light conditions are so-so. Do anyone faces the same ? Any help will be highly appreciated.
I have tried fondling with the settings and did not find anything strange in my system settings.
