I absolutely love my new nokia e63. It's by far the best cell phone I've ever had. It does everything it should do. It's really a really compact computer that can take pictures and record videos. I have lots of apps on it and I am loving it. Thanks for the review....

Moving my data from Palm desktop to E63
I found your 2 part review to be very helpful, thanks, and I will be ordering mine (in UK) probably on "three" network soon. However, can you or anyone else advise how easy it is going to be to move my diary, contacts, etc. from Palm desktop (v 4.1.4) on WinXP to the Nokia E63, please?
And does the email IMAP sys work in the same way on three as you describe it on Vodafone?
Many thanks
my contact is davidm fastmail fm (I trust that is this allowed on the forum?)

Decent Review
The bases are fairly well covered with this one. I would've liked to see a little more depth in the audio review (call quality, sound quality from the headphone port, etc), and perhaps a word or two on signal strength, everyone is saying it's excellent though so that doesn't concern me.
It's a bit unfair to say that it's "downright boring," after all, it's a very inexpensive QWERTY-equipped device that can do a hell of a lot for the money (About $200 in the states). Symbian is great, very flexible, the phone is provisioned so that regular headphones may be used which is a great relief for those who are not a fan of proprietary equipment, relatively spacious QVGA 16-Million color screen is a welcome feature, and, well, it's a Nokia phone. One of their better phones at that. Perhaps HSDPA could have been implemented for a minor cost, the lack of GPS doesn't seem too outlandish, stand-alone GPS devices with larger screens are much more suitable for this task in my opinion, especially for in-vehicle use. The device does have a 370 MHz ARM-11 processor which certainly isn't slow, the choppiness of the video playback and the possible quirks with the web browser are concerns that are alleviated with better apps for the job (but I do believe you mentioned this). For a relatively tech savvy person this is an excellent value for the money, plenty to work with and not expensive at all for what you're getting.
I'm glad I found your review, it sealed the deal for me in my search for a new QWERTY phone, ordered mine just today. Thanks for the review.

Dealing with unregsitered users
Hi Rafe,
Don't block unregistered users! I love contributing online but can't be bothered with the hassle of full registration.
They have been adopting a method on the Yahoo blogs/article which I have loved. It allows users to rate a comment i.e. the same as youtube thumbs up/thumbs down approach. Once it receives a poor enough rating it isn't displayed in the thread unless you click on the link 'comment hidden due.....'
While it's primarily meant for spam it should also help with negative posts that add absolutely no value to a thread.
BTW. Great review. That and the other comments meant I took the plunge and got the E63 today!

Yes you can, download some software called Joikuspot

Great Review - I'm switching from Palm to S60
Hey Steve,
Great review...I've ordered mine today (under £180 from Play.com)! I just can't wait. I'm really excited about this phone, as one, it is just fantastic value and I have been looking at the E71 before...but really cannot justify the spend on it, let alone the extra features.
Not only that, I think the omitted specs Nokia have chosen for this was perfect. I already own a GPS device and always take that with me in the car when needed. Google maps uses "My Location" to the closest cell-tower so that is more than enough for me. So GPS in a phone...no big deal. As with the camera, it's at the minimum spec that I would cope with. But shooting video is more important, and at QVGA at 15 FPS is also my desired minimum so that checks those boxes. HSDPA is not important yet to me, but basic 3G is more than enough for now.
I am an avid Palm user, and have used Palm since the old 3Com Palm III, up to more recently the Palm 680 and now the Centro. There are alot of features that I would of liked in the Centro that many other phones have, but I've gotten by. But I can see the E63 has a very swift OS, and great software support too. And I have matched everything that I love on my Centro with the E63 so I can safely jump aboard without much hassle. Main things I wanted was Threaded SMS like the Centro, and I know the E63 doesn't have it natively, but there's a great app called ThreadSMS by EHandySoft that fits the bill. Also I loved my CallRec to record calls with, and I've also found an equivalent app for the S60. Along with stuff like CallBlocking software. So it checks the software side.
The ergonomics on the E63 seem perfect along with the keypad and build quality, much better that the Centro. The only thing I might miss (but I'm sure it will be very short lived) is maybe the Touchscreen on it. But I got to a point where I never use the stylus anymore and practically just use the D-Pad and shortcut keys for everything. The other features that I wished for in the Centro were 3.5mm headphone jack, Stereo Bluetooth, sometimes Wifi and a LED light as a torch. Which the E63 has! So I'm pretty over the moon with this device and think Nokia read my mind on it.
It should keep me happy until I see what the Palm Pre might be like whenever that gets released. But until then, who knows. Sorry for the real long post. But I have been checking the net for the past week on the E63, and your review and videos (on you tube) have finally hit the nail on the head so I can make the right choice. One thing that I couldn't see mentioned was stuff like call quality, loudspeaker quality, etc., but I figured with other reviews and Nokia being Nokia, that it shouldn't be much worse than my Centro.
And one question that just came to mind which would be the icing on the cake:
Do you know if I can directly connect the phone to the computer via Wifi router or ad-hoc for direct data transfer?
All the best!
Gee.

Nice review. Got my E63. Works great. 3G here in the Philippines is superb.

the E63 is rather limited and downright boring
|
Hi Steve, I found this ending quite interesting.....isn't the E63 basically an E71 without the GPS Chip and better camera? So is the E71 a limited device as well? Just trying to clarify since I'm thinking about picking one of these up, but leaning towards the E63 cause of the price and also I light the slight thicker device.

Is the soft reset during video playback deal breaking? I like it for its big screen. I know its not multimedia phone, but I'm intending to watch videos on it on long trips. But you mentioned it is not stable during video playback, so it kind of break the deal for me. It will be good if you can elaborate on how bad it is or whether if it is acceptable or it consistently soft reset in the middle of a video playback. Does 3rd party application resolve this issue?
Thanks!

I'm basically the reason the unregistered people are allowed to comment. It means people don't have to go through the long-ish registration system to post and thereby encourage extra contributions. I am considering different options including compulsory moderation of unregistered comments, replacing the comment system (though not keen to lose forum integration) and of course switching off unregistered commenting.
Incidentally I think Files on Ovi is a great bundle for the Eseries - makes a lot of sense.
