Nokia E63 Mobile Phone

Economy or First class ?

That's the question that you're bound to ask yourself with the latest Nokia E63 mobile phone. Why ? Well essentially the Nokia E63 is a stripped down Nokia E71 that Nokia claim ditches some of the features aimed at the hardcore corporate world and softens the blow in the wallet to us mere mortals that simply wouldn't use them. In a nutshell it's a smartphone for the masses - But does it cut the mustard or is it simply a charlatan with nothing behind the smile ?

Don't be fooled into thinking though that the E63 is some poor relation as it's one hell of a 3G smartphone which makes communication as simple and easy as possible. With a full QWERTY keyboard, e-mails and attachments can be dealt with easily & quickly on the large 2.36" display. Dedicated one-touch keys: Home, calendar, contacts, and email let you access your most used applications at the touch of a single button. Intelligent input with auto-completion, auto-correction and learning capability make your life even easier too.

Memory is expandable upto a more than adequate 8Gb via the microSD expansion slot for those all important files & there's 110Mb of internal memory to get you started with.

Connectivity couldn't be easier as you can instantly connect on the go via any Wi-Fi hotspot. Surf the net, access mail and more at broadband like speeds whenever & wherever you are 24/7.

So just what am i missing out on then ? Well, read on as it may or may not matter and you could save a whole wedge of hard earned cash.

The styling of the E63 is where the difference is most significant. The E63 feels sturdy, but it lacks the solid metal feel of the E71. Again, the lower price tag may make you forgive the cost-effective approach to the exterior.

Poor camera performance compared to the E71 as you only get a 2MP camera & not the 3.2 of the E71

No GPS receiver - You won't be using it as a Satnav then....

Lack of "extra goodies" in the box - Don't expect a datacable, Nokia Stereo Headset , Leather Pouch & Strap in the box like you get with the E71

Little niggles - There is an FM radio but it lacks RDS, there aren't any preinstalled games and the 3.5mm jack protective bud is not attached to the body which is quite irritating

Obviously it's your money at the end of the day and life is about compromises. The E63 is a very good phone that represents good value for money...but will you always secretly regret not shelling out that little bit more ?
