Nokia E63 US User Reviews

One of the main reasons why I bought this phone in the first place was its solid battery life. The keyboard was small, though proved to be highly, highly useful and efficient once used to its small layout. The build of the phone isn't great, it feels cheap. It's a fashionable downgrade from the e71 but this phone is for the financially-conscious individuals out there. I've used this phone for about 2 years and I've rarely had an issue with it. If you're an individual within the corporate world, you simply can't go wrong with this phone.

The reason I purchased this is I badly needed a S60 update, i.e. I was an avid N-Gage QD used until this puppy came in the mail. Originally I ordered an N79... but since it is so freaking popular, I could not get one in a timely manner, and I ordered it twice. So when I saw it discounted through Amazon I jumped on it. This has everything you'd want, except for a few features that I like about the N79.Pros...-Preemptive Multitasking without bugs, can you say "Amiga".-Viewing of Excel, Word, and Powerpoint documents [editing of version 2007 if you get the upgrade]-Not a touch screen. My vision requires the best I can get.-Good signal, I live in a Cell Hole, a bad one. -UMA capability once I figure it out.-works great with Tmobile, no problems so far [I have had it a week]-email is not a true push system, but it works like a push blackberry system, but since you are popping your own ISP instead of RIM, it is much more reliable. If your ISP has security so does this email connection if you set it up.. it is available. I was worried that my phone would not leave the messages on the server, but it does. So ... cool.-Wifi allows for 128 bit WEP, plus other secure keys.-Best form factor for a blackberry style bar phone. The thickness is more than the E71, but that is a good thing. It is about 2/3's the thickness of the Ngage QD, but the other dimensions are about the same, Therefore it is very comfortable to hold and talk on. I cannot stand phones less than 2.0 inches wide.-internet radio, I am listening to an Ecuadorian stations right now, through the loudspeaker.-DUN modem for emergencies.-printer connection-dual modes, for business and personal use... like having two phones in one.
--- I am able to real time post to my blog using this phone.  To see examples visit icedoghans on wordpress.Cons...-no GPS, I am a member of PaintMap so I will have to get a separate module I guess. Fortunately Nokia has a GPS module connection system embedded.-no big stereo speakers, like N79 & 5700.-no FM transmitter, like N79 & N85.

Extremely satisfied with the unlocked  E63.  I was reluctant to buy since I had been using WM6.1, but this phone has everything you need and more.  Call quality, internet browser, online radio, and battery life are excellent.  The keyboard is excent for texting.  Great choice if you don't care about GPS and if you are looking for a good deal. 

The Nokia E63 is certainly a no-thrills mobile, the E63 does its jobs with no fuss and at a fair wage.

Main disadvantages:

No GPS
No RDS in the FM radio
3.5mm jack protective bud is not attached to the body
No USB cable in the retail package


There are some revierers who are gonna claim that poor camera or lack of games are the main disadvantages of this mobile, let me tell you something it is a business oriented device not a gameboy.
The Nokia E63 is undoubtedly a trimmed-down version of the E71 and almost a return to the E61i roots - with a 2 megapixel camera and no built-in GPS receiver. The styling of the E63 is where the difference is most significant. Nokia E63 still looks OK and feels sturdy, but it sure lacks the solid metal charm of the E71. Anyway, the mild price tag may as well make you forgive the cost-effective approach to the exterior. I`m still trying to figure out the choice of colors for this release, blue and red, I believe that according to the target grey or silver would have been better choices.The potential market rivals of the E63 aren't that many but there are still a few affordable QWERTY smartphones out there.

Whether you call Nokia E63 the economy package - or stimulus package, in the jargon of the day - you're looking at a capable business device. It brings the essential skills of the E71, and only sacrifices looks to round off that sweetly trimmed price tag. The lacking GPS comes closest to but still can't be a definite no-go. Even without it, the E63 is a strong enough offer to consider.
Besides, the E63 is not all about downgrading the E71. Whether Nokia want to expand the reach of their Enterprise lineup just like they do with the Nseries, or try to secure some mass demand for a truly elaborate and capable device like the E71, the result looks worth it and we are sure it will get as popular as E51.

The phn is best at the price. It contains lots of features. But no GPS, although lots of us have nothing to do with GPS but it should have HSPD. The main lakings is the HSPD whis is now US standard. The plastic body is good but it catches dust on the back as it is covered with soft plastic. Anyways I'll recomend this phone to all who can sacrifice the Metal Body,GPS and HSPD which is available in the E71.

accrding to its price it has lots of features compared to other smart phones
