Following on from my Nokia E55 review, I look at its sister device, this time with traditional keypad - is there anything to complain about in the perfectly formed little E52? Don't worry, I manage to find quite a bit - you can't read the keys in some light conditions and there are significant omissions from the initial firmware - though it's still a triumph of S60 miniaturisation. Here's my review of the Nokia E52.
"The candybar S60 smartphone, specifically the Eseries candybar S60 smartphone, has taken a while to fully mature, but I think we can safely say that we're close to the end of the design process. I simply don't believe it's possible to fit much more in. From screen to keypad to battery to wireless functions, it's - quite simply - all here, in a form factor that's under 10mm thick, only 54cc in volume and 98g in weight. Quite astonishing."
