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...

can anybody comment on e63's battery......
or what you say about the below mentioned comments:

"the battery itself feels somewhat loose in the slot – it won’t fall out of the phone, make no mistake about that, but if you simply shake the E63, you’ll hear it rattle inside the battery compartment."

e63 is a great buy. who needs a camera on this if you have a dslr? who needs a GPS on this when you have one in your car? it is a cellular phone for crying out loud. the people who complain too much about what it lacks are those who cant afford to buy those things separately.

do i need to say more

everyone is talking about the performance and the camera, well the performance for E63 is nice, there is no use to attach a camera with this phone or even the E71 because managers dont need cameras or radio.

cheers

I have an e71 and these e-series have totally useless speaker phones. How can this be a business phone when you can't do a proper conference call?

I had e71, now I have e63. Camera is much better in e63, despite 2mpx. it is clearer, and flash is better.
i MISS ONLY GPS,

Only really poor people would buy this device. The E71 is much, much better than this for a fraction extra. The E63 has been on sale for over 2 weeks out here and my local dealer has moved a grand total of 20 units compared with 50+ E71s in the same period.

'NaviTMKey' from the Nokia website
R u sure GSM Arena that there isn't one?
I was going to get one, but then i read this, and now im confused
It would be a shame if it didn't as Nokia says it does, and if it doesn't, then it would be a dealbreaker for me
Please reply!!

@ Sarim
You better think before you write such stupid crap.... Or head over to N-Series!

E-Series is for business, and no manager will need a camera or GPS or radio tools!!!

E63 will make its way! It´s a great phone.

It is amazing business phone for affordable price. why the middle managers need GPS in their phones, or high megapixel camera? It is all about battery life and connectivity. Where did you find another Wifi enabled qwerty phone for 200+taxes eur?

obviously its not ment to be pitched for E71 users so its no brainer you don't like it. price is key to this phone. there are few qwerty keyboards in the market at a low price and nokia recognised this.

Hey E63 had a track wheel navigation D-pad na gsmarena only had stated dat in their previews of difference between E71 and E63 when E63 was finally launched.
Nokia site also states that E63 has track wheel keypad.
It has no mention in the entire review is handset final market product or test piece????
