tools for convenience

All the standard cell phone features are integrated into the Nokia E62 as expected. Vibrate alert, speakerphone, polyphonic ringer, caller ID to name a few. In addition, the phone offers 6-way conference calling capability, picture IDs with specific ring tones, and a mini SD slot that supports cards up to 2 GB. Useful if the E62’s 80mb fixed memory isn’t enough, although the card slot is inconveniently positioned behind the battery cover.

The essentials are there too; alarm clock, calculator, notepad and currency converter. Furthermore, this smart device is compatible with Adobe Reader and Zip Manager.

Design

Housed in a slim silver casing, the Nokia E62 cell phone does not disappoint with its sophisticated appearance. The full QWERTY keyboard is a dream to use, and the navigation system shouldn’t present any problems with the built-in joystick.

With a 2.8-inch display, 320 x 240 pixel resolution, and up to 16 million colors, the display is big, bright, and impressive. The E62 doesn’t have a built-in camera, and while the block-style phone can be cumbersome to use as a phone, this is easily solved by plugging in a hands-free headset.

Technology

Standard lithium-ion battery life means Nokia E62 users will get the best of 6 hours of talk time and up to 332 hours of standby time. One useful feature is one-button email access, with support for POP3, IMAP, SMTP, and Microsoft Exchange Server, along with capable handling of email attachments.

Running Symbian OS 9.1, the Nokia E62 enables users to edit and view Microsoft Office documents, including Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Wireless connectivity options include Bluetooth, GPRS and WAP 2.0, or there’s Nokia’s browser. The Nokia E62 uses EDGE instead of the new high-speed technology and does not have Wi-Fi built into its system. Depending on the volume of your internet usage, this could be a problem for some people.

audio and video

The built-in music player (MP3/AAC) in the Nokia E62 cell phone provides users with good quality sound through stereo headphones. Video and audio streaming is supported by Real Player, however file types are limited to MPEG-4 and 3GPP formats.

• Dimensions: 2.8″ wide x 0.6″ deep x 4.6″ high

Conclusion

Reasonably priced and more than adequate for the average business user, the Nokia E62 smartphone offers excellent value for money. However, users looking for better operating system speed, camera and wi-fi connectivity should look for more advanced solutions.
