The Apple iPhone made a groundbreaking scene in the mobile phone industry that manufacturers have started coming up with new models to match up the iPhone’s capabilities. One notable phone is the Samsung Instinct, which at first glance looks almost the same to its competitor, with some feature distinctions. It incorporated visual voice mail, 3G network compatibility, integrated GPS, and work e-mail support and a number of other features.
As the Instinct is identical with the iPhone, it did incorporate a very eye-catching design although originality is a point of debate. This candy-bar mobile phone measures a dimension of 4.57 x 2.17 x 0.49 inches and weighs 4.4 ounces, portable and comfortable to keep in the pocket. Its simple black and silver design made it looked sophisticated. The Instinct is dominated by its 262,000 colors and 432,240-pixel resolution, 3.250-inch touch screen, showcasing an impressive display of colors, graphics and texts. Users can adjust the brightness and the backlighting however the menu is unalterable. The menu interface features a set of icons at the bottom of the display: Favorites, Main, Fun, and Web, which are attractive and very easy to use, all of which are represented by illuminated icons.
The Main menu offers the messaging, organizer, and GPS; the Fun menu for games, multimedia options, and camera; and the Web menu for browser shortcuts. These features are easily navigable through the intuitive touch interface. Users can also adjust the display calibration and its touch sensitivity.
Of course, aside from the touch screen, the Instinct still includes other keys: a back button, a home key, and a calling control, and an alphabetic keyboard, which is easy to type with the thumbs, thanks to its landscape mode. Aside from the keyboard, users can enter via the graffiti method, with the stylus. The only problem is that unlike the iPhone, Instinct doesn’t include a slot for stylus so it is a hassle.
The camera shutter, voice activation control and microSD card slot are located on the left side of the Instinct while a power/display locking control and a 3.5mm headset jack are on the top. The left spine houses the charger port and the volume rocker rest on the left spine while the the camera lens and the self-portrait mirror are on the back side. Phone features are relatively superb in the Instinct. The phonebook can hold 600 contacts. It also included visual voice mail and text and multimedia messaging. Productivity tools include a calendar, a notepad, a calculator, a unit converter, a tip calculator, an alarm clock, a timer, a stopwatch, and a world clock.
Connectivity options include Bluetooth with a stereo profile, GPS phone as modem supports, audible caller ID, a speakerphone, mobile syncing for stored contacts, and USB storage, although it lacked Wi-FI connectivity. It doesn’t include instant messaging, which may consider as a disappointment. On the other hand, the e-mail features are at best, with its support for POP3 accounts for AOL, AIM, Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail and connecting to e-mail is easy with Outlook Web Access. It has the Instinct’s Web browser which is commendable enough, but it lacks the support for Flash and some users have aired disappointments because the texts appeared a little cramped. Instinct also offers dedicated channels for weather, sports, news, and movies.
The GPS in Instinct is a big help in acquiring traffic information especially that the touch screen has made panning through the 3D maps way easier and quicker than on the Web browser. Instinct’s support for Sprint’s 3G services allows users to connect to Sprint’s Power Vision and Sprint TV, which include channels such as CNN, E!, MTV Mobile, Discovery Mobile, ESPN, Logo Mobile, Comedy Central, and Nickelodeon. Multimedia support in the Instinct includes the music player that can play MP3, AAC, AAC+ and WMA formats, and the 2.0-megapixel camera which features very limited options, but still produces usable images.
Samsung BlackJack II smartphone continues the tradition of innovation that the original Samsung BlackJack has offered. BlackJack II retained the original’s support for video, radio and 3G data and included a number of improvements: GPS navigation support, more battery life and internal memory. All of these are offered in a very affordable price that business persons will surely love. It is available through AT&T.
The BlackJack II, also known in the market as the Samsung SGH-i617, is perfectly packaged in a sporty, sexy design and is available in two colors: black and wine red. It also offers an interface that is very easy to use: including a larger 2.4″ display screen with a screen resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, 65K color TFT display, for making the most out of the Video Share Calling support feature, a front jog wheel for easier scrolling, a more compact QWERTY keypad for easier inputting and a 2.0 mega-pixel camera for better picture taking. The camera can take multiple resolutions (the largest is 1600 x 1200 while the smallest is 176 x 144) and includes features like 4x digital zoom, brightness level adjustment, self-timer and multi-shot. BlackJack II is slightly thicker than its predecessor, to give room for its larger-capacity battery. It has a dimension of 4.4″ x 2.3″ x 0.5″ and a weight of 4 ounces.
A power button is on top of the unit and the camera lens and mirror are on the backside. It includes an onboard memory of 128MB RAM and 256MB ROM. The microSD expansion slot also supports up to 4GB cards. The microSD expansion slot is on the right side of the phone while the connector or headset port is on the left side.
The phone runs under the Windows Mobile 6 Standard Edition operating system which can be updated to Windows Mobile 6.1. This means that users can maximize the Microsoft Office Mobile Suite, enabling them not only to open and view Word and Excel files but also to edit them as well. It also includes a PDF viewer, a voice recorder, a notepad, calculator and a measurement converter.
When it comes to voice features, BlackJack II doesn’t disappoint. It offers a speakerphone, speed dialing, world-roaming, three-way calling and conference calling. However, there are no voice dialing capabilities.
For a broadband-like connection, the BlackJack II works with AT&T’s HSDPA network which can transmit data up to 14.4 mbps. Media streaming is also at its best with BlackJack II, enabling users to enjoy listening to music and watching programming from various news channels. It also includes Bluetooth 2.0 but there is no Wi-Fi connectivity.
Users who switched from the original Samsung BlackJack to this new unit may end up disappointed because no big updates are really introduced. However, this smartphone will always be included among the most recommended mobile devices for business persons and mobile phone enthusiasts.
What’s impressive about the Palm Treo 700p is that it managed to step away from palm’s camera phone conundrum, and it learned to step up with its major weakness in smartphone. Aside from the major improvements in the camera, the changes in the 700p isn’t that big although there are a number of commendable improvements. To start with, Palm Treo 700p threw away the VGA camera that its predecessor, the Palm Treo 650, acquired and replaced it with 1.3-megapixel camera with 2X zoom. It can also record videos with sound. Image quality is a big improvement compared to earlier models.
The Palm Treo 700p has a dimension of 4.4 x 2.3 x 0.9 inches and weight of 6.4 ounces with silver and gray color schemes. The QWERTY keyboard is also retained, but there is a slight improvement this time with the replacement of the oval buttons with more spacious, brightly backlit rectangular keys this time. Typing texts is much easier with the 700p. It remains comfortable to hold up to the ear and to keep in the pants pocket. The 2.5-inch display runs 65,536-colors at a 240×240-pixel resolution.
Texts and images are displayed bright and more vibrant and can be seen even in direct sunlight. Navigation controls with 700p included the Talk and End keys and below that are the quick-launch buttons for phone, calendar, messages, and home page which are split into two groups by the toggle. The volume-up and -down keys and a customizable shortcut key are in the left spine. The SD/MMC expansion slot, infrared port and a ringer/silent switch are on top. The multi-connector port and 2.5mm headset jack are on the bottom edge while the camera lens is on the back.
Connectivity options in the 700p marks a number of firsts for Palm. It is the first Palm-based Treo to support 3G EV-DO networks that employs broadband speeds (300Kbps to 600Kbps) which make e-mail, messaging, and downloads faster. It is also the first Treo to offer built-in dial-up networking capabilities, transforming itself into a wireless modem for laptops. It also include USB, infrared, and a built-in Bluetooth 1.2 that supports headsets, car kits, printers, and GPS receivers. However, the 700p doesn’t include Wi-Fi on its offerings.
While the available internal memory of the Treo 700p is obviously meager for users, it’s delightful to learn that it includes a SDIO/MMC expansion slot that supports up to 2GB media. Productivity tools with 700p includes the Documents to Go 8 suite for editing Microsoft Word and Excel documents and viewing PowerPoint presentations and PDFs. E-mail capabilities with 700p supports push e-mail capabilities through Verizon’s VZEmail Wireless Sync, and there’s out-of-the-box support for Yahoo, AOL, and Gmail accounts.
Aside from the improvement of the camera phone as mentioned above, the Treo 700p retained its entertainment features. An application called the PocketTunes 3.1 is preinstalled and can play MP3s and WMA.
Compared to the Palm Treo, the Palm Centro is thinner and lighter, meaning it’s more comfortable to the pocket and the grip without losing important features. The Centro is the first smartphone under Palm which doesn’t bear the Treo brand name, and it is the lightest and smallest smartphone from Palm. The move of Palm to revert away from the aesthetics of the Treo is a good decision as Centro promised ease of use.
As stated above, the Palm Centro cuts of the bulk of the Palm Treo. It measures 4.2 x 2.1 x 0.7 inches and weighs 4.2 ounces, although it is still considered bulky as compared to smartphones released by Nokia and LG. It comes in ruby red and black onyx, with the former envisioned targeting female users, however some critics have noted that such logic made the phone looked like a toy.
The screen measures 2.25 inches and runs 65,000 colors at a 320 x 320 pixel resolution. Text and graphics are displayed crisp and bright and navigating and entering data has been very convenient with Centro.
Although it is already a touch screen, controls such as Talk and End keys, five-way toggle and shortcuts (to phone application, home screen, calendar and inbox) are also located below the display. A QWERTY keyboard is also included, but it looked very cramped and small, and typing messages with it proved to be dubious. Atop the Centro is a 2.5mm headset jack while a multi-connector port is located on the bottom. On the left side are the volume rocker and launch button while on the right side are the infrared port and microSD expansion slot. On the back side are the camera lens, speaker, stylus and the self-portrait mirror.
The good thing about the Centro is that it packed all the features of the Palm Treo in a smaller unit. It runs Palm OS 5.4.9 and comes with 128MB ROM and 64MB RAM. Productivity tools include the calendar, a to-do list, a memo pad, a calculator, a world clock, and a voice recorder. An application that can be used for opening, writing and editing Microsoft Word, Excel and Power Point documents as well as PDF documents – the Documents to Go version 10 – is also included.
E-mail is among the important features of the Centro, offering various option for access. Among the applications include the VersaMail e-mail app for real-time synchronization with Microsoft Exchange, and Sprint Mobile eMail. Instant messaging applications (Yahoo, AIM and Windows Live) are also included. Of course, like other smart phones, Centro continues to support SMS and MMS.
Connectivity features in Centro include EV-DO support and Bluetooth 1.2 for wireless headsets, hands-free kits, object exchange, and dial-up networking. However, the model doesn’t support A2DP and that a built-in radio isn’t included. It has 3G but no Wi-Fi. It also works with Sprint TV and live streaming music and talk radio. Access to YouTube is also possible with the Centro Blazer Web Browser. Listening to music is also more fun with the PocketTunes Deluxe Edition that can play MP3s. Last, the images produced in the 1.3-Megapixel camera are surprisingly sharp and decent for a camera phone.
Forget the sins of the Nokia N96, as the Nokia N85 is here to save the phone model in distraught. This gizmo is a real entertainer, having been equipped with music and video playback features, 3D gaming and GPS and unlike N96’s robustness the N85 features a slimmer and sleeker frame.
Commonalities between the N85 and N96 still exist; one is the two-way, sliding keypad mechanism. Push the phone upwards to reveal the traditional keypad and push it downwards to reveal four multi-function buttons that change in every mode. These buttons light up as playback controls in media mode, extra control buttons in game mode and zoom in/out buttons in web browser mode. Sliding the phone also changes the phone’s display layout. Show the normal keypad and it is in landscape mode; show the media controls and it is in portrait mode. N85’s usage of the Organic LED screen is a first in the N series handsets, a cool change since OLED displays consume less power compared to TFT screens. While the usage of OLED to other phones yields some disappointments, N85 did it right with its bright and vivid colors, although getting used to it is a little challenge especially for TFT-addicts who might find the N85’s screen look different.
Its music department comes with top-notch features including the standard, easy to use S60 music player. Store hundred, thousands of songs in the 8GB microSD card and listen in private with your favorite headset by plugging it in the standard headphone jack. You better think twice if you really want to replace the bundled headphones that are actually pretty good, and it comes with an inline remote control, microphone and hands-free calling. Another cool feature is its built-in FM transmitter for beaming tracks to your car stereo or FM radio at home.
Gaming is another plus points to the N85, with the rebirth of the NGage software platform embedded in the unit. Preloaded games include FiFa 08 and System Rush.
Connectivity-wise, the N85 also excels. It has Wi-Fi and HSDPA. There are some complaints with the web pages, but it’s good news that they load and display smoothly and quickly. There is always a solution with the bittersweet browser though, just download Opera mobile for the phone and experience the improvement. The built-in GPS also works wells with the Nokia maps software.
There are two cameras in the Nokia N85, one in front for 3G video calling and the 5-megapixel, with Carl Zeiss optics, on the rear. The sensor is covered with a lens cover, and when slid back, the phone automatically switches into camera mode. The rear camera has both autofocus and a dual LED flash and the image quality is bordering on the okay side.
To date, voice calls and SMS/MMS capabilities are nothing but the core and reviewing them is sometimes unnecessary. Most phone reviews are targeted on the extras and basing on this criterion, the N85 does well.
Another monumental piece in the line of mobile phones under the NSeries is the Nokia N77, among the only few mobile phones that has a commendable mobile TV function. This phone was released in 2007, supporting GSM 900/ 1800/ 1900 and WCDMA 2100 networks. This smartphone’s additional multimedia capability has let business persons and casual users the chance to enjoy viewing mobile broadcast content and accessing interactive services.
The Nokia N77 sports a dimension of 111 x 50 x 18.8 millimeters and weight of 114 grams. Its large 2.4 inches high-color and resolution QVGA screen displays texts and images in good color and brightness and it automatically adjusts according to environmental conditions. It presents high-quality viewing of broadcasts and videos to users.
The phone is also easy to grip, thanks to its candy-bar type design. It also features a 2.0-Megapixel camera that can take pictures in a 1600 x 1200 pixel-resolution. A built-in flash is included, with 16X zoom and can also be used for video recording and video calling.
What made N77 special is the mobile TV, supporting DVB-H broadcasts. Dedicated TV control buttons are also included, with program guide and live TV recording. Of course, the penultimate media features like the music player is still embedded in the N77 technology and with help of a high-quality stereo sound, music in MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+ and WMA formats will be heard at their best. Those who are aiming for a more private listening can opt to choose the 3.5mm jack, allowing standard headphones to be connected as well.
Nokia N77 has a dedicated TV key that allows users to access the DVB-H TV. Here are the things that users can do with the N77: remember the last channel viewed before switching off the TV, set reminders to alert the start of a program, 30 seconds replay, view program information up to seven days through the program guide, browse TV channels, and purchase new channels. Other features of the N77 include hands free speaker, push-to-talk over cellular, still image editor, syncML, themes and the visual radio
N77 has been incorporated with 20.0 MB memory although users can easily beef it up to 2.0 GB with external memory with microSD memory cards. The N77 runs on the Symbian S60 OS and supports tri-band GSM and 3G, which allows the user to engage on video calls. The USB and Pop port allows the user to connect the N77 to the PC. Bluetooth, GPRS and EDGE are also available. It shows that no matter how Nokia’s multimedia capabilities have catapulted an ultimate high in N77 it shows that the basics remains at best, with regards to phone and e-mail functions.
Avaliable in colors red and black is another smartphone in the Nokia NSeries, the Nokia N76. This slim flip phone has magnificently slammed into it truckloads of features, with a strong focus on music, just like the N75. Its speaker also produces one of the best sound qualities for a phone.
Nokia N76’s attractive design is reminiscent of the Motorola Razr. The N76 sports a dimension of 4.1 x 2 x 0.5 inches. Just like the N75, it also offers a 1.3-inch external screen, displaying an impressive 262,000 colors at a 160×128-pixel resolution. This screen displays standard information ((time, battery life, signal strength, and caller ID) and can also act as the camera’s viewfinder Dedicated music controls are also located below the display.
Once opened, users will get awe with the presence of the 2.4-inch internal screen,
that features 16 million-color at a 320×240-pixel resolution. Texts and images are displayed in a vibrant and bright colors and the screen easily adjusts according to the environmental conditions. Personalizing it is also possible by changing the screensavers and wallpaper designs.
The QWERTY design is absent in the N76, although the alphanumeric keypad is already promising, thanks to the keys’ large sizes and spaces. Aside from the keypad, the front panel is composed of the standard navigation composed of two soft keys, Talk and End buttons, shortcuts to the Main and Multimedia menus, an Edit key, a Clear button, and a four-way toggle with a central select key. The left side of the phone is where the microSD expansion slot and power connector port are located. The right side is where the volume rocker, camera-activation key, and image-to-video mode are situated. The camera lens is located on the back while the power button, a mini USB port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack are on the top-edge. The 2.0-Megapixel camera also allows video recording.
N76’s focus on the music is directly reminiscent with the N75. The music player supports MP3, WMA, M4A, AAC, and eAAC+ formats with its library categorizes tracks according to artists, albums, genres and composers. Creating playlists is also possible with the N76. When storing music files, users remember that the internal memory of the N76 is limited to 26MB and a 2GB microSD cards are always helpful. FM radio is also available, although it is dependent with the headset that acts as tuner.
RealPlayer plays video in 3GPP and MPEG4 format.
While the developers of the Nokia N76 focused on the multimedia capabilities, to say that the phone features are in trouble may be deemed incongrous, in a sense. First, it is a quadband phone and offers world roaming and other perks of the other Nseries phones. Second, while it doesn’t support the 3G unlike the N75, it supports EDGE for Web browsing and Bluetooth 2.0 for hands-free kits and wireless headsets. Third, it runs the 3rd Edition of the S60 (Symbian) platform with Feature Pack 1 and offers a number.
Before the Nokia N75 was released in 2007, it was subjected into hype, as the first 3G Symbian smartphone to be released, aside from the fact that it promised a multitude of other multimedia capabilities. However, the N75 has absorbed the criticism that the other NSeries phones have received, that it focused so much on its multimedia and other features that the phone functions were compromised.
This black and silver flip smartphone wasn’t praised on its looks because of its bulk, with a dimension of 3.8 x 2 x 0.8 inches, aside from the fact that it is 7 inches long when opened, although it is the type of phone that can easily be gripped and handled. The size of the N75 shares it own advantages though as it gave room to a larger and more spacious keypad. It also includes a 1.3-inch external screen that sports 262,000 colors at a 160×128 pixel resolution. More than the standard information, the N75 also displays track information and equalizer levels in music mode, aside from the fact that there are dedicated music controls below the screen: namely, back, play/pause, stop and forward. Flipping the N75 is a different story. It showcases a 2.4 inch screen that shows 16 million colors 16 million colors at a 240×320 pixel resolution.
Text and images are displayed bright and sharp and the screen automatically adjust according to environmental conditions. Below the screen are easy-navigable controls which include two soft keys, Talk and End buttons, edit, clear, shortcuts for main menu and music and a navigation toggle. The alphanumeric keypad is roomy and tactile and can easily be pressed. Located on the right part of the N75 are the volume rocker, and keys for camera activation and video activation. The 2.0-Megapixel camera is promising yet the picture quality is quite disappointing. The power button is located on top. On the backside is the camera lens while on the left side is the Pop-Port connector, power connector, and a microSD slot. N75’s big surprise for music lovers is the two small speakers situated on both sides of the phone.
While critics are wishing that phone capabilities of the N75 could have been improved, it is safe to say that the N75 has a wide range of features except for the fact that the address book is limited only by the available memory and the 250 contacts that a SIM card can provide. Nevertheless, the N75 is a quadband phone offering world roaming and other services such as speakerphone, speed dial, conference calling, voice command support, and a vibrate mode. Other utilities include Voice Aid and Message reader that use text-to-speech technology. The core of N75’s hype is on the availability of 3G support. It can achieve data transfer speeds of as fast as 2Mbps, although it can’t support HSDPA speeds.
Bluetooth 2.0 is also included in the connectivity options and it supports wireless headsets, hands-free kits, dial-up networking, generic object exchange, and file transfer. With the presence of the 3G came a sacrifice: the absence of the WiFi and GPS. Above all, the N75 has focused on the upgrading of its music capabilities. In fact, the smartphone has devoted a whole subsection of the phone for music where users can can listen to songs, watch music videos, shop for music and listen to mobile radio. Transferring of music files from the phone to the computer was made simple through the Nokia PC Suite that allows drag and dropping of tune.
Aside from the entertainment value, the Nokia N75 is still a smartphone. It runs under the Symbian operating system and still runs the QuickOffice application for viewing Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. Messaging support of N75 includes IMAP4 and POP3 accounts with an attachment viewer. it also includes Adobe Reader, a Zip Manager, a calculator, a notepad, a measurement converter, a clock, and a voice recorder.
While some have dismissed that the Nokia E series is a mediocre line of mobile phones as compared to the N Series, the emergence of the Nokia E71 might have toppled the stereotype on the E-series a bit, especially that the bulky design was cut off to a compact and solidly-built QWERTY device, measuring to 4.4 x 2.2 x 0.4 inches, weighing 4.4 ounces. The phone also showcases a solid performance, with strong messaging and productivity features.
The front panel consists of a 2.36-inch QVGA non-touch display with a 16-million-color output and 320×240-pixel resolution. Texts and images look sharp in the E71 and it is equipped with a light sensing technology which adjusts the display’s brightness depending on the environment. It also included a Business and Personal home screens which allow users to toggle between two different home views. The Business screen gives users access to work tools, such as e-mail, the Web, and the file manager while the Personal screen serves access to music and photo gallery, and switching screens is very easy. The standard navigation array is located below the display and it has two soft keys Talk and End buttons, and a four-way toggle with a center select key.
There are four shortcuts as well: the Home screen, Calendar, Contacts, and Messages. The QWERTY keyboard is a bit cramped as it has a smaller compact body, but is still easy to use. The left spine of the phone is where the microSD slot and a micro USB port are located while the right side has the 2.5mm headset jack, a volume rocker, and a voice command activation key. Located on the top is the power button while the power connector is on the bottom of the unit and the camera, flash, and self-portrait mirror are on the back.
E-mail solutions in the E71 includes supports with Microsoft Exchange Server, POP3, IMAP, and SMTP accounts and has a full attachment viewer, as well as compatibility with push e-mail solutions such as Intellisync Wireless E-mail, Visto, and Seven Always-On Mail, but it didn’t include preloaded instant messaging clients but software can be downloaded. E71 runs on Symbian OS 9.2, Series 60 3.1 edition and it comes with the Quickoffice suite which can open Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. It is also equipped with the Nokia Web browser with support for Flash. Productivity tools include Adobe Reader, a Zip Manager, a calendar, notes, a calculator, a clock, a voice recorder, and a currency converter.
Connectivity features of the Nokia E71 includes Bluetooth 2.0, which supports profiles such as mono and stereo Bluetooth headsets, hands-free kits, dial-up networking and file transfer and Wi-Fi. E71 is also equipped with GPS and preloaded Nokia Maps 2.0 application for navigation.
Among the multimedia features of the E71 are the built-in music player, that supports MP3, WMA, W4A, AAC, AAC+, and eAAC+ files, as well as OMA DRM 2.0- and WM DRM-protected songs, RealPlayer, that supports 3GPP and MPEG-4 files and the 3.2-megapixel camera with video recording capabilities. The camera has auto focus, an LED flash, exposure compensation, and digital zoom, although the picture wasn’t great because of the grainy product.
The Nokia E62 has been considered as one of the most powerful in the Nokia E Series. While users have started debating the gadget’s bias to corporate users, Nokia E62 is a smartphone that gained its reputation as a very dependable gadget for everyone. Some have even compared the E62 to Motorola Q and the RIM BlackBerry 8700.
This smart phone boasts a dimension of 4.6 x 2.7 x 0.5 inches and a weight of 5 ounces, sporting a wider and blockier body. The 2.8-inch screen has 16-million color output at a 320 x 240 pixels resolution. Text messages, images and videos look great in the large and bright screen, even in direct sunlight. Below the screen are a group of buttons and the QWERTY keyboard. The buttons include left and right selection keys, Talk and End buttons, Menu shortcut, e-mail launch and a four-way navigation joystick. The left side of the phone is where three buttons are located for Volume Up, Volume Down and Voice record. Also in the left side, but is located behind the battery cover, is the miniSD expansion slot. Unfortunately, no camera is included in this business-centric device.The Nokia E62 is powered by the Symbian OS 9.1, Series 60 third edition. It supports viewing and editing of Microsoft Word, Excel and even PowerPoint documents, which is a very rare feature for smart phones.

It supports Microsoft Exchange Server, POP3, IMAP, and SMTP accounts. It can also view attachments of popular formats like word, excel and jpeg. Real-time message delivery is attainable with push e-mail solutions. It also supports instant messaging such as Yahoo and AOL. New messages alerts are in the form of a pop-up box and LED.
Among the connectivity capabilities of Nokia E62 are Bluetooth, quadband GSM/GPRS, 3G and infrared. Just like the Nokia E61i, the Bluetooth isn’t limited for hands-free handsets but can be used for file transfers as well. The smartphone can also act as a modem for laptop. There is no Wi-Fi but connecting to the Internet is possible with GPRS. The 3G, on the other hand, can speed up data transmission whether the data are text, video or music.
Phone capabilities with Nokia E62 offer speakerphone, speed dial, and voice commands and VoIP calls, just like the E61i. Multimedia capabilities include music player, Image Viewer and RealPlayer. As mentioned above, there is no built-in camera for this model. The most important thing is that, all of the features above worked great and Nokia E62 ranked among the most dependable smartphones in the market today.
