Nokia E65 the sylish business phone

Nokia's E Series phones have come to define the quintessential business application device. Sporting a host of features on the connectivity, messaging and application fronts,these phones deliver a good arsenal of capabilities for today's demanding corporate worker. This month, we received one of the newest phones from this stable the E65. Created around an enticingly lithe form factor, this device still maintains serious capability within the two halves of its sliding body. Let's take a closer look.
At first glance, one immediately appreciates the heft (or lack thereof) of this phone—it fits very snugly into the palm of your hand. True to the company's standards of build quality, this phone's construction is a pleasing blend of plastic and metal. The screen is bound by a finely textured metal, while the rest of the body consists of a high-quality matte plastic, lending a classy demeanor to the device.
The front facade of the device sports a bright 16-million-color, 2.2-inch screen with a resolution of 240x320, delivering a crisp display. A cluster of buttons beneath the screen 3 in all—allow convenient navigation through menus and answering calls, with additional dedicated keys for the phone book and closed user groups. This phone's slider is solidly implemented, with a reassuringly taut spring mechanism resulting in no perceptible play between the two halves when they are fully opened or closed. Flick it open and the main keypad is revealed. Unlike most phones of this size, the keypad is perhaps one of the best we've seen—it features gently raised keys that are compactly yet comfortably arranged. The button backlighting is even, making the device easy to use even in pitch darkness.
While powering up the phone, we recognized the Series 60 (version 3) platform with its familiar icons and menus. Besides the applications that are usually bundled with this phone series (including QuickOffice, HP printer, Zip, Adobe Reader etc), there is a unique application called Team Suite that lets you define a group of users to whom you can send group messages or make conference calls via the dedicated button beneath the screen. On the connectivity front, you will find Bluetooth v1.2, EDGE for Internet surfing at up to 296 Kbps and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g that can also be used for Voice over IP (VoIP) calls. For business messaging, the phone supports Mail for Exchange 1.5, RIM BlackBerry Connect v2.1 etc, to keep you perennially connected by e-mail. On the multimedia front, the phone has MP3 support, and an integrated 2-megapixel camera which delivers acceptable results. However, the absence of an integrated LED flash makes it unsuited to photography in low lighting conditions.
The package includes a 256 MB pinky-fingernail-sized MicroSD card. You need to remove the battery cover to extract the memory card, but you needn't power down the phone. The phone is charged via the new power connector hence you can't use most older Nokia phone chargers.
While the phone's interface was not blazingly fast to use, it wasn't especially slow either. We did notice a couple of quirks though—the placement of the 'pen' key is on the right side of the phone, making text selection and some Internet browsing functions somewhat awkward because you need to press this button in conjunction with another on the keypad. Also, the phone returned a 'Network Busy' message a tad too often while trying to dial numbers, but that could be specific to our network conditions.
Excellent form factor and build quality, plenty of connectivity and group messaging options.
