Nokia E65

Nokia E65

Frazier Barretto, Dec 10, 2007 1633 hrs IST

Here's another business phone with flaunt value. Here's how it faired in our labs.

Stylish, Sturdy, Lots of applications provided, 2MP Camera, CIF Video recording.

Buggy OS, Cramped keys around D-Pad, Mono Headset, Poor Still image quality, Poor speaker on incoming calls.

Most people by now must be familiar with the business series phones from Nokia, the "E-Series". Apart from the fact that the "N-Series" from Nokia are more profound, they're also the phones that are marketed the most. The business series has never been about the entertainment or style factor, it's all about how that phone could increase the productivity of an individual.


That said, the phone that we're looking at today is the E65. This is a business phone, but has flaunt value as well, apart from keeping with its primary concern. Read on to find out whether the E65 is up to the job.

My E 65 is the one which is coffee brown in colour. I would like to change it to red because it looks quite cute. Someone could you tell me where I can order for a panel and body (red) over the net. Also tell me the cost of the spares.

Hello there, I bought this phone way back in March 07 and love it. I believe major reason all Nokia phones with 3G (UTMS) have low battery life is because by default they are set to GSM/3G mode in network settings. Once you change to GSM only mode, battery life increases almost by 30 to 40%. My phone goes 2 days without charging with moderate calls, music for 30 min a day, mail client checking mails through WLAN/GPRS/EDGE every 2 hours and I browse net while at home on an average for 30 min a day using WLAN. The problems you mentioned about phone not answering calls, reboots etc have more or less gone after the recent firmware update to 2.0633.65.01 One thing I love this phone for is dedicated hardware keys for Conference and Mute functions. It even allows me to store my conf bridge Pin which is quite useful. My only gripe about this phone is that why didn't Nokia put Symbian OS 9 FP1 (just like N95) on this. That would have made this phone quite stable. And yes I agree 100% that a business phone should be either without camera or having one of the best camera. Home this loooong essay helps someone.

I have a sincere suggetion if you are planning to by e serires phone E51 is the best with all latest stuff. Never consider E65 against it. Also price is 12.5k for E51. Go google for the product review.

Guys this is a time to review Nokia E51 and not E65. Also FYI Sony Ericsson M600 is no more available and is obloleted by company. Please be careful in writing reviews as people follow you.
