   I bought this phone (E63 blue-2) three weeks ago. Overall I am very happy with this phone. $ 200 for this smartphone is released a lot of things.

   I add my background first application in the suite. Because I think a balance is just a background application. For example, the messaging application, Blackberry is more powerful for business users, it may have more features or better performance when connected to your Exchange server in the enterprise. Also for performance data service in wireless network, I only use it in the network T-Mobile, I do not know how he plays in the ATT 3G network, so I do not comment on this item .

   My service provider: T-Mobile
   My package of services: voice + data service 100MB/month
   My request: personal use < br />
   Pro:
   1. Full keyboard Q. Yes, many smartphones have the full Q keyboard. But the keyboard of E63 has the best design, the shape of each button allows you to type with fewer errors stroking.
   2. WI-FI: 802. 11g compatible. Configuration is very easy, it supports functions WEP/WPA/WPA2 wireless security. And the link speed is very good. This will allow me to go to the Internet and download applications at home (or hot spot) without using the 100 MB of data to broadband service.
   3. When the Bluetooth “and” WLAN Scanning “are out, the battery life is good, thanks to the physical size of the battery. When the” WLAN scanning is off, you can still use wireless LAN which have already been implemented in the phone: it just will not search for new WLAN. But for the bluetooth “, you should enable it to use, and the bluetooth” appears to drain over power than WiFi.
   4. E-mail service using Nokia’s free (for now) push mail service, he pushed my yahoo mail and other mail to my E63, it warns me when there’s a new post. Most of the time, he very quickly in the network T-Mobile (but my emails are directed, the contents of HTML require additional download time). This is a great feature, I did not go on the Internet to fetch the mails manually. You can download this software configuration e-mail on the Nokia site. This option is available for BlackBerry and the iPhone before, with a data service more expensive. (I do not know when Nokia will start to charge for this service.)
   5. Completed PDA functions and reliable synchronization with a PC (sync with the PC via bluetooth is great!)
   6. Compare with Nokia E71, I like this one better. The reasons are: low price and thicker body with plastic finish. Although the body of the E63 is plastic, but the texture feels very good and not easy to obtain fingerprints. The thick body has the advantage acoustic performance speaker even when listening to music. Of course, the lower price comes with a compromise: a comparison with E71, the E63 does not have integrated GPS and the camera resolution is lower (3MP via 2MP)
   7. Music Function: E63 has 3. 5 mm standard connector, which means you can use your favorite headphones to listen to music. While the headset is provided with the phone is stereo and has a microphone line, but the frequency response is not good enough to listen to music (if you’re serious about the listening). Using a helmet standard, you can still make calls or receive calls, but you will need to speak to the microphone in the phone.

   Con:
   1. Image quality of the camera. I can live with the resolution of 2MP, but the noise of the camera is too obvious, even pictures taken outdoors.
   2. Micro-USB cable is not included: This phone uses the micro-USB interface, which is smaller than the mini-USB. I’m sure most people have one or more of the mini-USB cable, which is widely used. But many people do not micro-USB cable, at least I do not. So I must go to a local store to buy one ($ 15), and it is not easy to find too. Very unfortunate, Nokia has not thrown one in the box. Sometimes it is very useful, for example when you want to copy a hundred songs to the memory card from your phone, Bluetooth is just too slow to perform this task.

   Last Updated:

   Here’s the update after three months use.

   (A) Do not put the phone on a matter that is too tight, especially: preventing the keyboard to be touched when it is in the case. I discovered if the keyboard is touched, the phone will not go into sleep mode and the battery runs out very quickly.
   (B) The function IP phone (aka Internet telephony) is pleasant to call international long distance (you must sign up the “Gizemo” first), you can use it whenever you have WiFi access, it costs much less than the international level of your provider wireless services. But when you finish a call, you must disconnect the phone’s WiFi completely, if the battery goes down very fast. The reason is: when you connect the IP telephony service, it will contact the WiFi access point (such as your wireless router) periodically, even when you do not call this activity will require much power.
   (C) The lock “Remote” is a great feature, and it is very easy to assemble. First, you must configure the code “lock” this phone (after configuration, note). Then activate the option “Allow remote lock” feature, it will ask for a lock code again: it may be the same code in the first stage or another. If you lost your phone or simply forget your phone in the office, simply click on another phone and send a text message to your phone, the message is the lock code. The message must contain the lock code exactly the same case must go hand in hand and no extra space. Use another phone to send a text message is the best way to do some computer programs can send a text message to a wireless phone, but it tends to add additional text in the message automatically, it will fail to lock the phone.

   Let me begin by saying that after using several mobile phones over the years, I think it’s one of my top phones I’ve ever used.

   Being released from the start, the phone is completely umbranded, which means you do not have all the cute AT & T logos or T-Mobile everywhere, and have full access to all parameters that most providers limit you to change. You also have 110 MB of free space on the phone (one ton) for basic applications, and of course you can buy a MicroSD card for more memory.

   phone itself is superb. The blue color is actually a very dark navy, and may look black in most cases. As to the thickness compared to the E71, I think he really feels better in your hand, and not that noticeable. The headphone jack is a little big, you can use any headphones of your choice.

   As for software, it uses the Symbian 9. 2 Feature Pack 1, and includes software that you can use to open and edit Word and Excel documents on the go. The built in music player is decent, and set up as an iPod with its ability to have playlists, etc. such research can even download the free DivX player and watch movies from! Then theres the Nokia Ovi store. Much like the App Store for Ipone, you can download applications directly from Nokia, although for the moment due to its recent launch, there is not that much (mostly free) are available. ” ; br />
   WiFi is sealing the deal for me. Living on a college campus that has wireless internet everywhere, I did not want to pay for Internet and e-mail on my phone. Its fast (compared to ipone a friend, about the same speed) and it is great for surfing, with the help of the built-in YouTube application.

   There are a ton of great free software on the web to the phone if you search it, things like weather applications, instant messaging, mapping software (requires either a WiFi network or a data plan to use) etc.

   I found the speakerphone loud and clear and good enough to play the music more.

   The keyboard is absolutely amazing. I have not had many spelling errors while using it compared to my Palm Treo past I had. The keys are comfortable and easy to push.

   Battery life is great on this point. I was able to get 5 days on a charge with light use (30 texts a day, maybe 20 minutes on the phone daily and 10-15 minutes per day surfing using WiFi)
   

   The disadvantages that I found:
   Nokia still has not established a system of threaded text messaging by default (IM chat style) . My Windows Mobile phone from 4 years ago this function, and Nokia has its own application that does this, but you can set it as the default mail Txt.

   low vibration function. I can smell the barley. My previous Nokia was weak as well though.

   The operating system (Symbian) accepts or not you remember the connection settings. If you open your browser each time it will ask you what connection you want to use. This can become annoying if you’re constantly in the same place.

   Other tips I found
   If you do not have a data plan, go to network settings and change it either GSM only (no UMTS). UMTS is 3G, and you’ll get better battery life using GSM only and no downside if you do not have the data plan.

   To change the volume with Internet radio, press the function key, then up and down buttons change the volume.

   In Media Player, you can start typing the name of a song or an artist using the keyboard and it will manifest.

   I had the E63-2 (North American version) for a few days now, and I really love this phone so far. This is my first Symbian (S60) phone, so I was a little hesitant on the learning curve. And to be honest – it’s not nearly as intuitive as the iPhone or Android. But if you’re a bit tech savvy, it will not be a problem at all.

   The phone feels good in hand. I held the big brother of the E63, the E71, and I prefer this one better. The rubberized plastic does not feel cheap at all, offers superior adhesion, and perhaps best of all, do not get all smudged with fingerprints. It is still relatively thin, but not as elegant as the E71. But again, I prefer it – it’s just easier to take.

   The QWERTY keyboard is well designed and the keys feel good to push. Numerically, the “0″ is the right of the “9″ instead of below the “8″, which is a bit jarring at first, but I’m used to. Another inconvenience of design is the lack of a volume rocker on the side. . . you must use the D-Pad, which means taking the phone to your ear, mid-conversation. No dedicated camera button either, but that does not bother me much at all – you can take a picture with two clicks of a button away from the home screen.

   Quality voice is clear, rivaling any land line I have ever used. The ringer is nice and strong, though to get the sound settings themselves need a series of button pushes, instead of being “right there.”

   The client default mail is decent, although I’ve run into some problems connecting to the POP3 mail server from my ISP. I downloaded the new mail client of Nokia, which is much more graceful.

   There are many applications available on the Internet for this operating system, but they are scattered everywhere and they are difficult to find unless you really know what you are looking for. However, this will change very soon, like Nokia “OVI Store” is set to open next month (May 2009). Seems very promising – and even seems to be the elusive S60 Facebook App that was good for its absence.

   Anyway, smartphone UNLOCKED great for the price. Might be lacking in some minor areas (no GPS, camera of average quality, no volume rocker), but he makes up for in others (WiFi, stable operating system, App Store to come).

   strong recommendation from me.

   I wanted to “upgrade” from my old N95 (he was 2 or 3 years) and get a phone with full QWERTY keyboard. Nokia using the “Switch” utility, all my contacts have been transferred to my new E63 in minutes. . . It was easy. . . Thank you Nokia!

   TV screen: the E63 screen is brighter, larger and better proportioned to the N95. Ideal for watching TV – yes, there is a demand of 15 million TV gives you approximately 100 CNN and other channels – Google “Spb TV”

   SPEED: This is much faster and more efficient than the N95 – perhaps the E63 has a faster processor?

   FAST CAMERA: Really Fast! It starts in about a second, so it’s much easier to aim and fire as the N95. 2. 0 megapixels is not a problem – I prefer the lower resolution because it’s much easier to email and share photos on the net.

   PRIUS Bluetooth Integration : Bluetooth transferred all my 170 contacts in the address book of the Toyota at once. The N95 could not do that!

   Internet Modem: Works perfectly. . . Nokia PC Suite allows me to connect my laptop to the Internet at any time by simply plugging the phone into its USB port and clicking a button. T-Mobile gives me unlimited Internet access for only $ 20/month.

   Battery: E63 is huge – about twice the size of the N95 – the phone without paying more Large – amazing. The E63 easily lasts much longer than the N95 without reloading.

   Volume Control: There are no buttons to control volume on the physical E63. Instead, you use the cursor control center (during a call) and it works very well. Honestly, which effectively changes the volume of each call? I set the volume once and it normally remains at this level for all my calls – I do not regret having a separate volume control. Good job NOKIA!

   GMAIL: Nokia handset application email / message works better than Google’s Gmail application separately. Setup was easy and Nokia includes a warning Gmail inbox in the phone’s main screen.

   BLUETOOTH TIP: Enable rapid on / off Bluetooth by pressing the * star key for a couple of seconds (from the main screen). This is ideal when you’re in the car with passengers, but do not want to hear your hands-free conversations.

   PRICE: You can not beat him – he ’s There is nothing that approaches. You’ll also need to order a Nokia USB cable (about $ 2 on Amazon) and why not treat yourself to a Micro SDHC card 8GB? (about $ 20).

   NOKIA E63 ROCKS! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!!!!!!!!< br />

   Unlike the E71-2, which supports “HSDPA class 6, maximum speed. 3 6 kbps Mbps/384 (DL / UL)” this (the E63-2) supports “WCDMA 900/2100 or 850/1900 or 850/2100, maximum speed 384/384 kbps. So if you have ATT HSDPA in your area, you will not be able to enjoy it, download a max speed of 90% less than the E71-2.
   I respectfully suggest obtaining specifications directly from the Nokia website for a phone of interest, rather than relying on the marketing dept. ’s ad copy. Cheers.
