Nokia E63 review: E for Economy

Nokia E63 review: E for Economy - read the full textNokia E63 is the next QWERTY messenger by Nokia, set on the glorious path of the E71. Only this time it slips off the high heels to walk it in plain straight and simple boots instead. And the matching price tag leaves little doubt of what this Working Joe here is all about...

Hi, i have this phone for month till now ,Really i hate nokia products because of this phone . i know it has a lot of features but it has bugs in the software especially in the alarm setting and it hang-up a lot and when connected to the pc most of the time it hang-up and the memory is still in use although the phone is removed from the usb and u must restart the phone to use any application on the memory.
really nokia has a big problem with that phone and must find a solution for its problems.
My phone changed twice from the service provider for the alarm bug and they have nothing to do with this problem except changing the phone with another new one and the same problems are still there.
I think that E71 is a good phone and if any one need to buy a phone with E63 features buy E71 not E63 because E71 is the master of E63.

Well, I`m no quite sure that we can call E63 a Nokia Business product. I believe that 34 is no to say I`m old but sertenly I dont want to be seen with a Red phone at an Interview... simple grey would it be a better choice in my humble opinion, and the lack of in build GPS is totally NO-GO. Please review your sales strategies Nokia.

P1i has nice specs and size, but the qwerty entry is very poor to use, and the OS was not fast to use, texting/messaging was a slow process on it. Go for the E63 or E71 if you want a great qwerty phone!

Got this phone couple days ago. Love the ergonomics and design, easy to use and hold. Excellent screen and battery life, and has a ton of software built-in that I would of needed to install on my Palm Centro.

The only down-point is it's not as loud as my Centro. E63's loudspeaker is very average if that, which is fine in a quiet room/office. But outside in the traffic or in the car it isn't that practical unless the recipient talks up (or you have super-hearing). That's the only point I was disappointed in, however, it's got much better connectivity and speed. I guess you can't have everything...yet! :-)

If you are really looking for louder speakerphone features, I believe the E71 is quite a bit louder judging by the GSM review comparisons, if you want to pay the extra.

> In reply to hahnvin @ 2009-01-14 02:50 from wY5Ythe whole point is you don't need to carry around your satnav, phone and dslr with you everywhere you go. Who would want to do that?

Anyway, this phone is just a bit too cheap looking and ugly for my taste. E71 is MUCH nicer looking.

I always recommend e71

nokia should make all its cellphone screen from glass or mineral crystal from now on.time to change.people have tired those having plastic screen that's easily prone to scratches.glass not easily prone to scratches but will, compare to plastic. And a metal body is a bonus. for memory card i suggest nokia should use mini than micro coz micro was so tiny and tend to be lost (in case when we want to take them out to put in memory card reader or put in to new phone) .

E71 has bad bad reception, just read here http://www.boygeniusreport.com...-issues-mmm/

I gave back 4 units of E71, all were faulty and had the reception problem, which is known worldwide.

E63 has always reception. Due to the lacking metal parts.

No complaints with this phone at all. Yeah, people are bashing the camera, but it serves it's purpose fairly well. I'm not exactly a full time photogropher, so it's fine.
Great connectivity and simple operation are what this device is all about. Friend has the E71, and he plays with my 63 more than he does his own. Battery life is decent, even surfing (which in itself is a pleasure with this phone). Email is so simple that even people with no real computer backround should have no problems setting it up. Best "bang for you buck" in a new business phone can be found in the E63...
