gsmarena, please review asap? E55 is available in more and more countries (here in Poland since 1 Aug). Why not combine the review of E55 and E52 - looks like the only difference is the keyboard?

I think this phon... moresorry to disagree. this phone brings brilliant new concept with it. with new predictive input, you can type it easy like full qwerty, and even got bigger keypads than bulky E72! regarding the screen it is also pretty much the same. so why carry fat lady when you can put your hand unto slim nice girl?

I was going to buy this but then gave up. I think this phone has no place... for a complete, cheap model you'll go for the E52... for a true qwerty with fancy extras like a better camera you'll go for the E72... the E55 is lost somewhere in the middle and in my opinion will not sell well.
So now I'l trying to decide between the cheap way E52 or the fatter, nicer E72...

Newbie, 01 Aug 20091. E55 and E52 should have similar spec - both an upgrade ... moreHeard that all mobile phone companies are introducing universal charger which works on all types of phones.
1. Does the Italian version of E55 come with this type of universal charger or a Nokia specific one?
2. Also, presumably the Italian version comes with a flat 2 pin European AC power rather than the 3 pin UK style. Correct?

1. E55 and E52 should have similar spec - both an upgrade to E51. E52 - normal keyboard and smaller internal memeory (100mb?), E55 - qwerty keyboard and bigger internal memory (160mb?)
2. Yes, I've waited a long time for the phone since it was announced back in Feb. No one in the Nokia shop can tell me when it will come out or show me a prototype.
If I buy from the Italian nokia website, anyone knows if it is free of any local restriction that I can use a UK / Far East sim card?
Thanks.

Valeriu, 31 Jul 2009please leave a comment on the site when you buy the phone w... moreI have it in my hands since yesterday (I live in Italy and I ordered it on July 12th). It already arrived via UPS at the beginning of this week but I had to get back home from a vacation first.
The handset looks good and sits comfortably in the hand. It is also quite light (I had a samsung z150 before = 79g so I can feel its 95g)
The screen is nice, sharp and large. Readability is good, outside in bright sunlight it appears ok.
The half-qwerty keyboard: the predictive input works nicely and (it seems to me) better than classical t9.
It is also very easy and quick to use the keyboard in multi-tapping mode (only two taps are needed for any letter). The qwerty layout is more intuitive and easy to learn than it would seem. In short: it did not take me long to be quite fast in writing on this keyboard (consider that I have always been very slow on keypads with a classical (e52 style) keypad though).
Email integration is excellent: just giving it details of my gmail account the terminal set up automatically access to my account using nokia messaging. The client is very clean and easy to learn.
The terminal offers to download
Voip and chat applications like gizmo5, ovi contacts and vyke mobile. I tested gizmo5 and used it to call my skype account using my home wlan network. It worked but there was a significant 1 second delay. I bet this depends on the gizmo5 network though.
The italian version comes with two pre-installed games: solitaires and block cascade (a type of tetris). Demos for n-gage games can be easily downloaded directly from the terminal.
Ok, that's all for now, more news as I keep playing with it. Ciao to everybody.
