Advantages: Versatile Pda with telephony functions Disadvantages: Patchy Bluetooth support
Nokia doesn't even consider this a phone - it markets this as a personal digital assistant WITH a built in mobile!
Funny things mobile phones - from the 'bricks' of the 1980s which said as much about conspicuous consumption as it did about technological innovation, through the nineties when they became the latest 'must have' gadget, to the 'naughties' when they reached true commodity status, and anyone NOT owning one was regarded with the same suspicion ... ...new and innovative products.
NOKIA have aimed the 'E' series fairly and squarely at the business market.
Instead of carrying a pager, mobile telephone, digital camera, MP3 player, PDA and goodness only knows what else, they have provided a range of handsets which combine all these functions and more.
The E50 is the current entry model of the range.
As mentioned before, it isn't so much a phone with frills, as a PDA with connectivity.
It's true ...

Advantages: looks and feels great, better software than standard Nokia phones Disadvantages: uses the new style small charger, no wifi
I recently upgraded to the Nokia e50 from a 6230i and have been very impressed so far.
This is my first series60 phone and it has taken a bit of getting used to, but I'm finding it to be very userfriendly.
The Good
- Very smart looking, metal back, nice solid feel
- Nice screen, big and high resolution
- Camera takes nice photos
- User interface is much more configurable
- Good battery life
- Very nice sound quality
- Doesn't seem to fill ... ...Bad
- New style Nokia charger so can't use the old ones without an adapter lead
- Can feel a bit sluggish while loading apps
- Found a software bug with the contacts where it puts surname then first name on received texts, so I removed the surnames using the PC suite software and put them into the forename field, displays fine for making calls but puts the surname twice while writing a text, weird!
- No wifi internet option
- Doesn't come with ...

Advantages: Classic design Disadvantages: Slow to operate, phone casing easy to scratch
...but this is what I have come to expect from phones with internal antennas. Applications included with the phone are a bit more advanced than the usual Nokia suite of tools but really only business users with organisations who choose to make full use of these will appreciate them. ...

Advantages: Look and Feel, Loads of features Disadvantages: Slow on occasions
This is a very stylish and compact business phone with great features.
The balance between style and substance is slightly biased towards style but in a good way. For example, the standard keypad can be slightly annoying if you have to draft up long emails but I guess you know that you're not getting a qwerty layout!
The metallic effect facia gives the phone a polished feel and unlike other smart phones you're not 'carrying around a brick'.
As ... ...occasionally going to get crash outs but compared to other models I think it's fair to say that there is above average reliability.
I can only think of two things that could be better with this phone: 1) The four way metal 'joystick' can be a little rough on the thumb after prolonged use.
2) The contacts display is miniscule and you really need to have good eyesight to read the text. This is surprising considering all the built in voice features! ...

Advantages: Small, powerful, can get without a camera Disadvantages: No 3G or wifi
Some people complain that the font is too small, I disagree. It enables lots of text on the screen and hence less scrolling. It syncs with outlook brilliantly, I now have all my appointments in my phone wherever I am! and the best part is it has an alarm to remind you a meeting is due. I had heard that it is quite slow, e.g. when pressing to start a text there is a second delay or so. This really doesn't bother me at all but it does seem to get worse ... ...One downside is that there isn't a keylock facility; but as this is a symbian phone you can easily buy one for a fiver along with all sorts of useful software online. To the phone itself:- it is nice and small, well built and very robust (I have dropped it several times).............and now the best part if like me you work in a secure area you can get this phone with/without a camera. It is therefore in my opinion the best camera -free compact smart ...
