Nokia E6 Sim Free Symbian Smart Phone with Free WH-207 Stereo Headset and Lifetime Walk and Drive Navigation - Black

At first glance the Nokia E6-00 looks looks a very nice phone, It has a full qwerty keypad making texting and web browsing easier, Add that with the touch screen and the phone give you ease of access. The phone can be a bit slow sometimes but when this happens all you need to do is hold down the home key and close the open applications. There are a wide variety of applications available from the OVI store, however not as many as there are on the Android or iPhone, Also the Angry Bird games are NOT free, they cost £1.50 each, however the first one has been free for the past few months. This phone comes with OVI maps (satellite navigation software) which is free for life and compared to most SatNavs very accurate, its not got me lost yet. The other free software on the phone is Quick Office which allows you to create and edit Word document PowerPoint presentations and Excel spreadsheets which is very useful if your allays on the go and don't like carrying a laptop around with you, otherwise it's pretty useless.

Built by Finnish, but the case is that the touchscreen tends to stop the normal responiveness even on ca +3 degrees Celsius. It just simply does not respond or if works, then with 2 to x pushes. The screen is somewhat small compared to Samsung or HTC, but I like the qwerty physical keyboard. The battery is draining out pretty fast taking into consideration, that the screen is quite small (using of course e-mail system during business hours). For me the really big disappointment was the quality of the camera lenses. This is really bad-bad-bad. Because of business I thought that I can use the phone also for sacanning 1D/2D codes - for that purpose this phone is more like garbage. Only Perfect and BIG codes can be read. What Samsung read with ease and no thinking - Nokia Failed till I gave up in the end. So if thinking about this feature when buying a phone - Avoid if ever possible. The OVI maps work, but not perfectly - It is better to have alternative map source also with you, when going somewhere not in the bigger towns. The + is that I like Nokia menu and I am used to Nokia. Still things to discover with the phone, so maybe adding some info in the future. In overall rating I would say - so-so, that is why 3*. It arrived with no problem and so 5* to Amazon.

I have been using this phone for more than 3 months now and I have only good things to say about it. Off course, you probably won't get the amount of apps (most of them are plain useless anyway) like iPhone or Android phones, but it's not the point. Any really useful app has a version for symbian anyway, and if not, there are many developers who create apps, that don't really end up in Nokia Store and you can find pretty much anything you want. I know I can. Firstly, keyboard is absolutely amazing. It was the main reason why I bought it, because typing on touchscreen using my old iPhone was pretty frustrating sometimes. With E6, i can feel what i type, which is great. Screen is great, responsive and with upcoming Belle update the overall phone experience will be even better. It looks very sexy and it feels like a real solid device in your hand. I will probably go that far an say that this is the best phone I had so far. Just what I wanted. Email works great, i don't have any issues now. In order to make it work well, I typed in my carrier settings manually, because previously it used to have problems with connecting when not on wi-fi. Now it's all good. At first I was quite skeptic about the fixed-focus camera, but then I asked myself, why am i buying this phone? for regular random snapshots this camera is more than enough, and for anything else i have my nikon dslr anyways. You might ask why i didn't mention battery life, so i can say it's normal. i get two days out of it, which is pretty good comparing to other smartphones on the market. Also, you can change this battery any time you want. All in all, for this price that is now (£219) its a bargain and i can only recommend it.

A replacement for my 2 year old E72 which sadly did not survice the washing machine. The E6 is a great phone which makes use of both qwerty keyboard (excellant touch/feel) and touch screen. Most things can be done by whichever input option you prefer. The web-browers is fast and works really well (a big improvment here) and set up a configuration of the nokia push email service was quick and easy. Greate camera and flash. If you want a phone for easy communication via meassge/email/web/video this is a greate choice. If you want games and stuff go elsewhere.
