              Nokia have produced a great set here, I have been testing the battery and with everyday use meaning txt and calls and not using any features I have managed to get it to last 2 weeks and 3 days that's great for me. The qwerty keypad is very tactile and has performed to prefection for me. Only downer for me is the fixed focus on the cam but it will take reasonable shots so if your not a real big snapper then this should not be an issue. Internet very fast I have tried the Opera and that is slightly quicker but internet use is very easy and up to scratch. The symbian interface is a little outdated but is so easy to navigate which works for me I have tried Android and found this was not for me. The handset is built very strong and feels solid in the hand, would of been nice to incorporate more metal as on the E71-72 models but I think this is why there is a reflection in the price altho the battery cover is metal and is nice. Another thing I would of liked them to of included the optical trackball but we can't have it all.

              Great phone

                    E5 does nt have a front camera. Oh god i should have not purchased this phone it has bad sunlight legibility. It hangs up and switches off suddenly. I should have purchased E71. Simply thought E5 is latest so should be better. My friend has E71, she is using it past 8 months -- no complains man --- my suggestion go for E71 -- best phone guys

                      i think N71 still remains the best phone ... E5 hangs quite often + it switches off at times while receiving calls .. its a great concern as calling been main function of any mobile. Also E5 has low resolution then E71.

                                Can you change Carbon Black body into Silver Grey body? Because in my country we have just black or white bodies....so i wonder if body switch is available on Nokia E5?

                                  hi all.. First of all a great review. Thanks.
                                  People this phone is really nice. Comparably That touch screen Sh**s aah awful
                                  E5 great work by nokia, how many of you ( those who are crying about 3G cam) have used 3G video call features & how many times?
                                  I have one question which i didn't get answer anywhere & that is about SIP settings. Where is the internet telephone setting, can’t find anywhere?
                                  Or
                                  Is there another way to configure it.....?

                                  Any help highly appreciated

                                    Just bought E5 last week, it is the best phone as far as I am concerned, faster grab it while stock last, no regret, for sure.
