The newly launched Nokia E63 is taking some spotlight for as a more affordable version of the Nokia E71 smartphone. After a couple weeks with a review unit, here’s our verdict of the Php14,200 Nokia phone.E63 has a huge potential very good phone easy to navigate. Overall very very good functionality but Nokia are locking for support for this device. Like the Nokia E63.

Based on the popular business smartphone E71, a full keyboard is now available to everyone. Its appearance is more casual, replacing the metal with a high-quality plastic. Hopefully, the build quality doesn’t suffer from this and is still very high-end. The colors are also more liberal and instead of the boring grey and black, here we find the fresher blue or red. The E63 has gotten a bit thicker and is now 13 mm, instead of the E71’s 10 mm.

The E63 stores 110MB internal memory. If you want to store data like music, pictures, videos and other data on your E63 you need to buy a microSD card which are available up to 16GB currently. In the test my 4GB microSDHC card worked without problems and even 16GB cards should work too. E63’s 2.36 ” QVGA ( 240 x 320 pixels) screen displays the 16M colours very well.

As is typical high end Nokia phones , the E63’s display won’t disappoint you. It looks good indoors, as well as when exposed to direct sunlight, though in the latter situation the colors become a bit undistinguishable. Still, the image is clear enough and allows you to use the device with no real issues.

The Nokia E61i has a new refreshed sleek design. I checked its just 2.5mm thinner but it does look a whole lot better. It now has improved handling of attachments and what really makes it for me, an integrated 2 megapixel camera.The Nokia E61i supports corporate mobile email solutions such as Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email, Good Mobile Messaging, Mail for Exchange, Seven Mobile Mail, and BlackBerry Connect as well as most popular consumer email solutions.

The E61i runs under the Symbian OS 9.1, Series 60 third edition. Users are able to view and edit Microsoft Word, Excel and Power Point documents via the Quickoffice Suite. An additional utility is the Nokia Team Suite that can be used for creating teams, members, conference call numbers, conference call PINS and web pages for finding all the information about a single conference calls. Adobe Reader and Zip Manager are also included in the smart phone. Completing the list of tools are calendar, clock, voice recorder, currency converter and calendar. The default memory is 50MB but the microSD can accept up to 2GB of memory.

The Nokia N95 is a somewhat large slider form factor handset. It measures 100mm x 53mm x 20mm (3.9″ x 2.1″ x .8″) in size and weighs 121g (4.3oz), which is to say it is by no means in the running for the thinnest and lightest handset on the market. The front of the N95 has a normal looking silver paint finish, but the sides and back of the device make use of a soft touch style deep burgundy color paint that has a very nice feel to it. Nokia has done a far better job with the slider mechanism on the N95 than it did on the N80.

The N95 gives up the Nokia proprietary pop-port and instead has a miniUSB connector located on its bottom edge. The miniUSB port can not be used for charging, though, a task that is handled by a new style mini Nokia power connector. The top edge of the N95 is home to the power switch, which is also handy for changing profiles when pressed briefly. Out back one finds the 5 megapixel autofocus camera and its flash. The camera lens is protected by a cover that is opened and closed with a slider switch. Opening and closing the cover activates and deactivates the camera. A secondary, QVGA resolution camera is located on the front of the device, just above the display, and is intended for 3G video calling.Nokia N95 8GB is about Php27,850.

Nokia today announced the The Nokia N86 8MP, which comes with a a wide-angle Carl Zeiss optics and an 8 megapixel sensor. The Nokia N86 8MP is designed for both bright and low light conditions, and it’s optimized for both video and still imaging. Its high-speed connectivity ensures easy and convenient sharing.

The fast mechanical shutter ensures pictures with less motion blur while the dual LED camera flash is powerful enough for excellent photography and video capture.

Every detail of the metal-framed Nokia N86 8MP is thoughtfully designed with photography in mind, including 8 GB of internal memory for up to 4,000 images. Like any high-end digital camera, the memory can be increased with an exchangeable 16 GB microSD card. The device also offers a bright OLED screen with scratch resistant hardened glass, easy photo management, full sync capability with a PC and TV-out support for slide shows.

Multimedia features - music, games, video
The Nokia N86 8MP, with its integrated kick stand, is ideal for watching videos and playing games. Each Nokia N86 8MP can play up to 25 hours of music on one charge which can be enjoyed with the Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-214 also announced today. People can build a personal music collection from the millions of tracks and playlists available from the Nokia Music Store, where available.

The sound speakers are the loudest I’ve ever heard on a mobile phone and worthy of being in the XpressMusic class.With the 5800, you are still able to make a phone call and send text messages with one hand, though half the time you’d end up using your fingernails instead of your thumb. The 5800 gives you 4 options for text input — full QWERTY, mini QWERTY (for portrait mode), handwriting recognition and the normal virtual phone keypad — which is nice because it provides the user more ways to type in text depending on the need and screen orientation.

Aside from the glass screen, the entire device is made up of plastic so it feels light for its size. It’s a little thick at 15.5mm. I think the Nokia 5800 is still worthy to be priced at the 25k to 35k range but Nokia puts it at a very cheap price of Php19,990. Nokia fans will surely love owning this little piece of history from Nokia.
