Great phone, weird wired headset, May 14, 2009
By Thomas W. Wright “cavehobbit” (a sandy hole in NJ)

I have had the phone for over 24 hours so far. Great phone. Good sound, good voice, fast O.S. Good signal reception all around, though in N. NJ that is not really a problem.

I charged it initially at home with the included AC charger, and at the office hooked it up with the included USB cable and saw the phone charging while I was playing with it and synching up my calendar.

I swapped my SIM card from the old phone, (HTC Hermes/ATT 8525), to this one and it worked right away. ATT mediaNet needed no configuration even though I had only added data/texting to my account from online only minutes before. WiFi works well in my home. This is my first time using ATT MediaNet so I can’t really comment, but it helped me compare prices on a microwave oven from inside a store. Amazon got an order for a microwave once I got home and I saved over $50. It is nice not hunting for a WiFi signal as I used to do. Glad I finally succumbed to paying for ATT’s service. I am not comfortable with Nokias included browser yet, but it seems to work well. I may try Opera.

I can work with office documents and synch up with my outlook calender faster than I could with my old HTC/ATT Win 6.1 smart phone. Nokia PC Suit is leagues ahead of MS Active Synch, and puts Motorola’s software to the shame it deserves.

Folks that play with it are amazed at how fast the phone responds when selecting applications. Instant response instead of a second or so wait as many Windows based phones have.

The one issue I have had is I can not get the included headset to work properly as a headset. I suspect it is intended as just a music headset, but no matter what I do I can not get loud enough sound out of it, and the manual has no mention of it other than showing where to plug it in. When you attach the headset the phone asks what you want to use it as. Whether I select headset or headphones it does not seem to work well. The phone will warn you to use the phone mic. I recommend getting a better headset/headphones when you buy the phone, I am doing that right after I post this. Maybe with more use I can sort it out. I only tested it by calling my office voice mail, since I did not want to annoy friends and family by making them guinea pigs.

This brings up the 3.5 mm jack the phone has. I am often on support calls. Sometimes for hours at a time. (Yes, I am an I.T. peon). I did not consider this when thinking about the phone, but there are NO standard headsets that use 3.5 jacks that I can find, they almost all use 2.5. The headsets that do use 3.5 are either iPhone style earbuds, which I find very uncomfortable, or ones intended for PC gaming, which use TWO plugs and are not usable on a phone. Not an over-the-ear one in the bunch. So I am stuck using bluetooth, which loses power fast and can’t last long anough, or getting a clunky adapter so I can use a standard 2.5 mm headset, or trying an iphone earbud style headset that has the microphone in the wire, not on a boom, which has poor voice quality compared to a boom and hurts my ears after a few minutes. Slightly disappointing.

I do like having the hidden qwerty keyboard, as I did with my prior phone, so that it is there when needed for documents, email, texting etc, but out of the way otherwise. Someday I may try a tablet-style phone, like the E71 or a blackberry, but this works well for me.

One big reason I got this phone is the number pad for dialing. While touch screens are nice, having them as the only interface to the phone is a mistake.If you need to dial a number fast, such as 911, it can be very tough to do. Number pads are better, and if the primary use of the phone is as, well, a PHONE, it makes sense. It fits easily into my shirt pocket. I do not need to hang it on my belt and feel like Batman as I would with a tablet PDA.

But touch screens are useful. I think this phone would benefit from one for navigating the menus, it would probably be faster than using the various keys. The screen could be larger, there would be room to extend it if Nokia moved the logo from the top of the phone.

There is a lot left to play with on this, like the multiple profiles, etc. So there is still more to learn on this.

But all-in-all, even with the headset issue, this is the best phone I have had yet, whether smart-phone or not. If this is an indication of where Nokia is going, they are going in the right direction.

E Series Style in a Great Slider Package, May 22, 2009
By Jared (Salem, OR United States)

With the incarnation of the E75, Nokia successfully continues the E series ideology of enterprise-oriented phones while supporting a balance of personal life and entertainment.

The E75 is the first QWERTY slider into the E series, yet maintains a pleasant thinness. It is not as thin as the E71, but Nokia is fitting quite a bit of hardware into this thin slider body. Nevertheless, the E75 is solidly built and maintains a great feel while being held open or closed.

The QWERTY keyboard featured on the E75 is huge. Coming from a narrower brick QWERTY, the jump to such a wider keyboard is impressive and helps make typing out messages on a phone less of a chore. Those who may have bigger fingers may appreciate the larger keys as featured on the E75. Unlike the E71 the E75 contains a dedicated Ctrl key, the E71′s key only being a secondary function. This dedicated key makes tasks like copying and pasting even easier.

Response time from this phone is pleasing – loading applications is fairly quick, and any seldom noticeable lag is minimal. Multitasking is rather simple, and having a couple applications simultaneously open does not significantly impact the phone’s performance.

Symbian S60 3rd with Feature Pack 2 is the operating system powering the E75. Search contacts directly from the home screen is a valued feature – as the name of a contact is typed (even from the keypad), results are quickly displayed above providing shortcuts to call or message the contact. Mail setup is a breeze and supports Exchange, and using the mail application is very easy and intuitive. The home screen is highly customizable, and the switching between work and personal modes makes the interface even more flexible.

Other benefits of the E75 are its wide range of connectivity – HSDPA, 802.11b/g, GPS, Bluetooth, etc. Additionally, the phone’s video record mode supports a VGA resolution at 30fps. The phone also comes included with a 4GB microSD card and the slot is external. Surprising was the quality of the included earbuds/mic – they aren’t the best quality on the market, but for included earbuds they are actually nice. A full 3.5mm audio jack is also onboard, opposed to 2.5mm. Additionally, the E75 can charge over USB, though not as fast as the provided adapter.

While the keyboard of the E75 brings advantages there are some drawbacks, though these are relatively minor. Because the keyboard is so wide, it can take a few uses to get accommodated to the width – anyone used to a brick QWERTY will need to get accustomed to reaching further with their thumbs. Unfortunately, there is no double quote character on the keyboard, not even as a second function. Instead, the double quote character must be accessed through the Character key. The absence of a left Ctrl key makes moving the cursor over by word practically impossible – both the ctrl key and directional pad are on the right side. The keyboard could also have benefitted by finger finders to help assist with positioning, though this isn’t a serious problem.

The keys on the keypad seem a bit small, and this could hinder some accuracy when working with the phone at a quick pace. However, to accommodate the E75‘s screen and physical size the keys had to be sized as they are. While it would have been nice to have a larger screen, it really wouldn’t be possible to accommodate one with the face keypad. The N97 is Nokia’s full-face screen model (lacking the dedicated keypad), and as such supports touch. The glossy face on the E75 means it is a fingerprint magnet – both keypad and screen. Be prepared to frequently wipe off prints.

There are some mediocre aspects to the E75. The battery is only 1000mAh, which will allow for about a full day of fairly heavy use. However, for light to medium use the battery should last a few days before needing a charge. Thankfully, Nokia included the charge over USB option in this phone. Additionally, the camera quality of the E75 is nothing special. And while the Nokia browser has been improved upon and supports Flash, it could use some more improvements in navigation and viewing.

The perceived drawbacks to the E75 are essentially nitpicks however. This phone has a number of positive aspects that make it very solid and a pleasure to use. Nokia’s E75 is an adequate powerhouse, fully capable of accommodating the aspects of an E series mobile lifestyle.

Not quite ready for prime time, June 16, 2009
By Benjamin Levenson (Cambridge, MA USA)

Phone has a lot of promise (turn-by-turn GPS works pretty well, nice form factor, solid build quality…), but the OS is not as polished as it should be for a $400+ smartphone. Two examples that were quite frustrating to resolve:
1 Some of the VOIP functionality has been stripped away. It is necessary to install additional software to restore the same functionality that was present on the E65:

http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/d476061e-90ca-42e9-b3ea-1a852f3808ec/SIP_VoIP_Settings.html

2 There are issues with the way access points are managed which can make email over VPN a pain in the rear if you don’t get the configuration right on your first pass:

http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=messaging&thread.id=14948

I’m sending mine back to Amazon. The overall user experience with my E65 is /much/ better. I’ll stick with the E65 until Nokia irons out some of the kinks with the E75.

best smartphone out there, August 12, 2008
By J. J. Tan “audiophile/enthusiast” (Fremont, CA United States)

first a comparison to the e61i: i had both the e61 and e61i and this is a major improvement over both. the form factor is incredible as it is only 10mm thin, much narrower than its predecessors, and feels very solid and sleek with its all metal body. the phone is just beautiful to look at. nokia has improved its processor greatly and the phone has almost no wait time with all its functions now. when i went back to use the e61i, it was unbearably slow compared to the e71. the keypad on the e71, although a little cramped, feels good on the fingers. one of my biggest complaints about the e61i was that earphone speaker was hard to hear out of, but the e71′s narrower body and seemingly louder speaker solves the problem. the e71 has also added a microUSB port, and 2.5mm earphone jack. in terms of software, the e71 has an updated symbian os that includes some additional features and programs that were pleasant to see. the biggest program improvements for me was the updated organizer and the shortcut key options. for all e61 and e61i users out there, the e71 is a must update to nokia’s wonderful line of phones.

comparison to competitors: function-wise, it has all the features blackberry’s and the iphone 3g have. however, the e71 is much smaller than both (just put the e71 side to side with the blackberry curve and the iphone and they both look like monsters compared to the e71). i have no complaints with the 3g and 3.5g (umts/hsdpa), and I’m not sure what the other reviewer was talking about– it must be a network/area dependent problem. i live in the SF bay area and i almost always connect to the 3.5g network with att and the internet is extremely fast, comparable to web browsing on a computer with broadband cable access. i really dont like the all touch screen of the iphone, so i would never consider it. i was debating between the curve and e71, but e71 beats it in both function and form-factor. the e71 has a umts/hsdpa, 3mp camera, and better battery life. all the rest (OS mainly) is just up to personal preference.

concluding remarks: if you ask “why should I get the e71″, i would answer with these points based on what “I” feel is most important:
- very fast 3G capability
- excellent size, feel, and look,
- speedy processor with no lag in navigation
- improved OS and great computer connection software (nokia pc suite)
- long battery life
- 3MP camera with flash
- comes with carrying case, carrying strap, stereo earphones, and data cable
- and lastly, did i mention that this is the most beautiful i have ever seen? see one for yourself (i know its hard b/c they dont really have them in stores) and you will love the look and feel of it.

Things I wish I knew beforehand…, September 26, 2008
By J. Sullivan “linux zealot” (Chicago, IL, USA)

Some notes to consider for this phone:

3G — Despite Amazon saying this is the US Version of the phone (which it is,) this phone does NOT work with T-mobile 3G in the US. T-Mobile 3G in the US uses the 1700 mhz spectrum (you can read on wikipedia as for the reasons why) and there are no 3G roaming agreements with AT&Ts 3G spectrum like there is with EDGE. That being said, I have found that EDGE is fast enough for my web browsing and e-mail use (220 kbps+.) Using GSM/EDGE only also more than doubles your battery life, so this is not an entirely bad thing for T-Mobile users. The 10 hours talk-time and 17 day standby is no joke with GSM either.

Network Settings — Nokia has a great website that will text you all the internet, voicemail, and MMS settings for your carrier to the unlocked phone.

Bluetooth Tethering — This phone does not tether with Mac OS 10.4 Tiger. It does tether perfectly with 10.5 Leopard. It tethers with Windows XP via included Nokia PC Suite. It would be nice if a Mac suite were included from Nokia but Apple provides everything necessary with Leopard. It obviously tethers perfectly with Nokia N800/N810.

GPS — The GPS in the phone is first class with both an actual GPS receiver and assisted GPS through cell tower. It works much better than my TomTom One especially indoors. The phone comes with a great program called Maps but the only drawback (and it is a HUGE drawback) is that you have to pay a monthly fee to use any sort of route guidance. You’re allowed to see your position and browse maps for free but if you want to plan a route it costs extra. It comes with a 7 day trial that you should save for emergencies in my opinion.

Networks in General — This phone works great on both AT&T and T-Mobile but each has their drawbacks. AT&T has the faster network but limits you to 5Gb/month bandwidth and charges extra to tether. T-Mobile allows actual unlimited data on EDGE and allows free tethering to any device but has the slower “2.75G” EDGE data network. Wifi is available on the phone and works flawlessly.

Third Party Apps — Two must have apps are the S60 Divx player and the Slick IM client (AIM, Jabber, Etc.) The Nokia mail client works great and a third party solution is not necessary.

All in all this is a first class phone whose only missing feature is a touch screen. Depending on your need for a QWERTY keyboard I would say this and the N95 are battling it out for best phone in the world right now.

This phone saved me $70 per month, October 18, 2008
By Rodney H. Diramos “Techie Monster” (Los Angeles, CA United States)

As the first phone to run on the US 3G network (and in some areas even faster 3.5 G), I was wondering how well this would work as a modem for my laptop for accessing the internet.

Guess what? I’m using this regularly now to connect my macbook to the internet! I’m giving up my mobile aircard (which costs about $ 70 per month) and I’m just using my unlimited mobile internet. Another positive – no need to take out the usb aircard dongle and insert it into the side of the laptop each time I need to use it!

The connection is fast enough to download video and music (you tube etc. will work fine both on the phone and the tethered mac) but the phone gets hot when it’s used as a modem. It also uses a lot of power so for long time use as a modem, I’d keep it plugged into the charger.

Joikuspot is the software I used ($ 25 for a perpetual license) to tether my phone to the macbook so I can use internet.

I’m happy that MS office comes built in. I’m able to import my financial worksheets (even big ones where I do financial modelling) and it still works fast.

Fring works well on these phone – much better than on the Nokia N95. With Fring and my Skype call-out account, I can carry on telephone conversations with almost as much clarity as using my skype on the laptop. In the N95 (which is also a great cellphone), the processor isn’t fast enough to allow phone conversations – the voice quality is so degraded that it’s barely understandable. Apparently, Nokia placed a very powerful processor in this machine.

And since it has a fast processor, all the applications open almost instantly and my cousin, a Blackberry curve user was so impressed with the speed he said it’s the next phone he’ll get.

Another excellent software I like using with this phone is my Salling Clicker. I use it for remotely controlling itunes in my laptop (like when there’s a party and I was to change albums or artists from my phone) or clicking to the next slide in my powerpoint presentation or fast forwarding my DVD player to the next chapter.

This is a lot of technology for the money and I highly recommend it to everyone!

Nokia E63-2 Customer Reviews
A smartphone phone with a good price, May 6, 2009
By Wlake (Texas, United States)

I purchased this phone (blue E63-2) three weeks ago. Overall, I am very happy with this phone. $200 for this unlocked smartphone is a great deal.

I add my application background first in the following. Because I think a review will only be fair with certain application background. For example, for the email application, Blackberry is more powerful for the business user, it can have more functions or better performance when it is hooked up with your company exchange server. Also for data service performance in wireless network, I only use it in T-mobile network; I don’t know how it performs in ATT’s 3G network, so I don’t comment on this.

My service provider: T-mobile
My service package: voice + 100MB/month data service
My application: personal use

Pro:
1. Full Q keyboard. Yes, a lot of smartphones have the full Q-keyboard. But the keyboard of E63 has the better design, the shape of each key enables you to type with less error-stroking.
2. WI-FI: 802.11g compatible. The setup is very easy, it supports WEP/WPA/WPA2 wireless security features. And the link speed is very good. This enable me to go to internet and download applications at home (or hot-spot) without using the 100MB data-service bandwidth.
3. When the “bluetooth” and the “WLAN scanning” are turned off, the battery life is GOOD; thanks to the physical size of the battery. When the “WLAN scanning” is off, you still can use the WLANs that have already been setup in the phone; it just won’t search for the new WLAN. But for the “bluetooth”, you will have to turn it on in order to use it; and the “bluetooth” seems draining more power than WIFI.
4. Email service: I am using Nokia’s free (for now) mail push service; it pushes my yahoo mails and the other mails to my E63, it notifies me when there is a new mail. Most time, it worked very quickly in T-mobile network (but my emails are more text oriented, HTML contents require additional download time). This is a great feature, I don’t have to go to the internet to fetch the mails manually. One can download this email setup software from Nokia website. This is only available for BlackBerry and iPhone before, with a more expensive data service. (I don’t know when Nokia will start to charge this service.)
5. Completed PDA functions and reliable sync with PC (Syncing with PC by bluetooth is great!)
6. Compare with the Nokia E71, I like this one better. The reasons are: lower-price and thicker body with plastic finishing. Although the body of E63 is plastic, but the texture feels very good and not easy to get the finger-prints. The thicker body has the acoustic advantage, the speaker performances well even when you are listening music. Of course, the lower price comes with the trade-offs: comparing with E71, the E63 does not have integrated GPS and the resolution of the camera is lower (3mp via 2mp)
7. Music function: E63 has the 3.5 mm standard connector, which means you can use your favorite headset to listen to music. Although, the headset comes with the phone is stereo, and it has an in-line microphone; but the frequency response is not good enough to listen to music (if you are serious about listening). By using a standard headset, you still can make calls or receive calls, but you will have to speak to the microphone in the phone.

Con:
1. Image quality of camera. I can live with the 2MP resolution, but the noise of the camera is too obvious; even the pictures taken outdoor.
2. Micro-USB cable is not included: This phone uses the Micro-USB interface, which is smaller than the mini-USB. I am sure most people have one or more mini-USB cables, which is widely used. But a lot of people don’t have the micro-USB cable, at least I don’t. So I have to go to a local shop to buy one ($15), and it is not easy to found one too. Very unfortunate, Nokia did not throw one in the box. Sometimes, it is very useful, such as when you want to copy a hundred songs to your phone’s memory card; bluetooth is simply too slow to do this task.

Great unlocked smartphone for the price!, April 17, 2009
By A.G.R.

I’ve had the E63-2 (North American Version) for a few days now, and am really loving this phone so far. It’s my first Symbian (S60) phone, so I was a little hesitant about the learning curve. And to be honest — it’s not anywhere near as intuitive as the iPhone or Android. But if you’re a little bit tech savvy, it won’t be a problem at all.

The phone feels great in hand. I’ve held the E63‘s big brother, the E71, and I prefer this one better. The rubberized plastic doesn’t feel cheap at all, offers a superior grip, and maybe best of all, doesn’t get all smudged up with fingerprints. It’s still relatively slim, though not as sleek as the E71. But again, I prefer it — it’s just easier to hold.

The QWERTY is nicely designed, and the keys feel great to push. Numerically, the “0″ is to the right of the “9″ instead of underneath the “8,” which is kind of jarring at first, but I got used to it. Another design annoyance is the lack of a volume rocker on the side… you have to use the D-Pad, which means taking the phone away from your ear mid-conversation. No dedicated camera button either, but that didn’t bother me much at all — you can take a picture in two button clicks away from the home screen.

Voice quality is crystal-clear, rivaling any land-line I’ve ever used. The ringer’s nice and loud, though getting to the Sound settings themselves require a series of button pushes, instead of being “right there.”

The default mail client is decent, though I’ve run into some problems connecting to my ISP’s POP3 mail server. I downloaded Nokia’s new mail client, which is a lot more graceful.

There are lots of apps available on the internet for this operating system, but they’re scattered all over the place and they’re hard to find unless you really know what you’re looking for. However, that’s going to change very soon, as Nokia’s “Ovi Store” is set to open next month (May 2009). Looks very promising — and even appears to have the elusive S60 Facebook app that’s been conspicuous in its absence.

Anyway, great UNLOCKED smartphone for the price. Might be lacking in some minor areas (no GPS, average camera quality, no volume rocker), but it makes up for it in others (WiFi, stable operating system, app store coming soon).

Strong recommendation from me.
