Nokia E62 Review

tn_e62slvrcombo_low.jpg

The E62 was created for the user who is always on the run — for the person who needs first class access to their e-mail, appointments and documents in a portable device of manageable size.The E62 is a quad band, GSM/GPRS/EDGE world phone which utilizes the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz bands. It comes with a big, hi-res color screen (320 by 240 pixels) and a full QWERTY keyboard on the front. It also has a dedicated e-mail button and flashing message light.

The E62 goes with a tried and true design that makes it easy to communicate at a moment’s notice. The large, 320 x 240 screen supports a whopping 16.7 million colors, while a QWERTY keyboard just below the screen makes typing out emails, SMS messages, notes, presentations, and more a breeze. A center “thumb stick” allows you to quickly navigate the E62’s menus and features, while soft keys on either side of the stick make it easy to quickly access important phone and productivity functions — all of which make the E62 a snap to use one-handed. On the bottom of the phone, you’ll find a dedicated headset jack and a mini-usb connector. The phone’s charging port and infrared sensor are also located on the bottom of the phone. Under the battery cover, you’ll find a hot-swappable miniSD slot, as well. The device ships with 75 MB of internal memory, as well as a 64 MB miniSD card.

The E62 runs the latest version of the Symbian operating system, version 9.1, with the Series 60 version 3 interface. If you’ve ever used a Symbian device, you’ll immediately feel the difference. The E62 is much quicker and more responsive than previous Symbian-based phones such as the Nokia 9300 and 7610. The Symbian OS is tremendously popular overseas, and it has a thriving ecosystem of third-party software. Although most of these applications were written for earlier versions of Series 60, updates for the E62 already exist.

The power button is located on the upper right face and it’s so small that you’ll likely never accidentally press it. The blue LED that indicates new email is at the upper left. There is no LED that flashes when the phone is asleep. As you’d expect, the earpiece is dead center above the display while the loudspeaker (for speakerphone, ringers and alarms) is on the phone’s left edge. The IR port is located somewhat oddly on the bottom edge next to the mini USB connector and the volume up/down and voice recorder keys are located up on the upper left side. The volume controls fall perfectly under your index finger when holding the phone to the ear with the right hand.

Productivity-wise, the E62 is ahead of the pack for its price point. I was impressed to find the Symbian 9.1 OS was fully-equipped with applications designed to view, create and edit documents in Microsoft Office (including Powerpoint presentations), a feature not available on the much-hyped Motorola Q. The PDF reader was also a help, but let’s talk about the number one reason to buy an E62- complete mobile email support. Setup is a breeze, an email hot key provides one touch access, and a light at the top right corner of the E62 notifies of incoming emails.

Review By Brighthand

The E62 is close in design to the Nokia E61 that’s sold in Europe, but with a few key differences. The E61 has support for the European 3G networks, while the E62 does not support any 3G. The E61 has Wi-Fi, while the E62 doesn’t. On the brighter side, the E62 dispenses with the proprietary Nokia “Pop Port” for audio and USB, substituting standard mini-USB and 2.5mm audio connectors. Otherwise, the devices are identical in design and specs.

The E62 packs in some impressive messaging options, including support for push e-mail via Good Messaging, BlackBerry Connect, and Microsoft Exchange servers, as well as standard POP/IMAP personal e-mail accounts. You can also download the Xpress Mail desktop redirector to your PC, although we experienced some connectivity hiccups during our testing. We were surprised and disappointed that the E62’s messaging app doesn’t automatically list possible matches from your address book as you type in the “To” field; instead, you must click away to the search window and then manually select contacts.
