Nokia E62 Review

by Christopher Null

- This newcomer to the PDA phone scene has quickly become a top contender thanks to a bevy of features and a keyboard that's a pleasure to type on. Available from Cingular, this handset lacks high-speed HSDPA support (it does support EDGE) and has some interface quirks that take a little getting used to, but it's one of the most capable smart phones on the market.

User Reviews for Nokia E62

  • Reviewed by: leshabs29

    Duration of ownership: 2 Months

    Strengths: Excellent screen, battery life, phone, software and email

    Weaknesses: Slow OS, silly placement of audio memo button

    Overall Evaluation: While not as cool as some other products I've owned, it is a solid phone, has great battery life and an awesome screen. The OS is simple to use and learn. Having no camera works well for me as i'm not allowed to bring one to work. Unfortunately, Cingular just killed it. Hopefully, they will replace it with another great nokia phone with all these biz features and no camera.

    Duration of ownership: 1 Month

    Strengths: Big screen Light

    Weaknesses: Lillipucian letter ... now that is small ... users 45 and older may need a magnifying glass to read the text. The vendor could not and the manual did not provide instructions to increase the screen characters size. Synch software not user friendly as competitors

    Overall Evaluation: This looks and feel like a first time entry PDA Phone by a supplier. A lot of good ideas but just not the finish touch that a Blackberry or even Palm PDA phone has. We even found the software not as intuitive as that of Sony Ericson PC Suite who is not a strong contender in synch. to PC arena. Other well know brand names shine in comparaison. We bought the unit based on the review from PCWorld ... we will be returning it before the 30 day trial is over for competitive offering.
