Nokia E6 review: The E spirit

08 July 2011
Don't let your E71/72 smartphone read this. No, it won't have a heart attack or anything. But you don't want it suddenly feeling sad and useless. You certainly realize the E71/E72 duo is getting old and rusty. Like it or not, it's time to move on. The Nokia E6 will not...

          Does Nokia E6 support multiple mail for exchange accounts simultaneously or not? I faced this issue with my Nokia E72 and found this problem very strange since my Iphone does it quite conveniently. Please reply Anyone

                      Wow Nokia!!
                      Highest PPI on a mobile phone!!
                      (beating out the iPhone4)
                      and brightest display on a mobile phone as well!!
                      (beating out the LG Black which they touted as the mobile with the brightest display)
                      Nokia should be applauded for this feats!!

                      very good Nokia!!
                      hope you announce more ground breaking handsets! more power..

                      for GSMarena, again a very good review! noone else comes close..
                      more reviews to come..

                          autofocus is more important than megapixels for a business phone - E6 has a lot of great features otherwise for phone quality/email/maps. E71/E72 users wont like downgrading their camera :(

                                Adobe Flash is a poorly coded piece of garbage. You only need to look at how smooth HTML5 and QT are before realizing it has no place on a mobile phone. The quicker manufacturers abandon Flash, the better.

                                  The fixed focus camera ruins this phone... I'll keep my dear E72 until a worthy successor comes in!

                                    Thank you, sorry for that again. Thank you GSMARENA. Hope JokiuSpot won't eat the battery and can run for some time.

                                      Dear GSMArena team,
                                      You went gaga on the looks and build quality of this handset; and rightfully so... i thorughly enjoyed every part of this review. I beg to differ in terms of looks... i found BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 and Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510 to be better than E6. build quality?? well E6 is surely the miles ahead.
                                      must appreciate the fact that you guys have a totally unbiased review of this good handset highlighting pros and cons... but 1 thing needs to be highlighted, the feature set Nokia offers is unmatched... no OS can accomodate so many options in a small screen like Nokia. BB OS is competetive though.

                                        Hi, GSMArena.
                                        I have E6 for one weekend. Great device, but with some problems.....I hope with software update it can be FIX.
                                        1. Hard vissibal notification light.(in dark room You can see)
                                        2. Mail client...It can't use Push notification-Waste of internet traffic and battery life.
                                        3. Battery life is far from what Nokia sad. Two-Tree days with normal usage is very bad of E-serries device.
                                        All of this is very important things for me and people who want E-serries type phone. Business phone without notification, bad mail client(when you need to receive mail in time) and short battery life is just a toy - expensive toy, but not a phone for Business.
                                        I am a huge fan of Nokia....but you make me feel like I am a Beta tester for expensive device.
                                        GSMArena, I like you're reviews and always read before buy device.
                                        But you must point this Disadvantage to people who potential want to buy Nokia E6.
