Nokia release the E52

Published by Steve Litchfield at 9:34 UTC, May 6th 2009

Hot off the press is Nokia's new E52, with specs, photos and video embedded below. The E52 can either be thought of as a massive update to the popular E51 or a traditional number-key candybar version of the bigger E75. Highlights include S60 3rd Edition FP2, GPS, 3.2 megapixel camera, Ovi, Nokia Messaging, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB charging, noise cancellation, Nokia's 1500mAh mega-battery for a full 8 hours talk time, and more. Read on for more.

Nokia say:

"Mobile VPN is built in to make it easy to access company intranets. This comes with Call Connect support, which enables businesses to integrate Nokia mobile devices with corporate phone systems, enabling users to be contactable through a single number, have a single voicemail box and offer least-cost call routing.

Getting up and running with email is simple. Support for Nokia Messaging, Mail for Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes Traveller make it simple to add personal or work email accounts to the device and the new to the E52 email user interface makes accessing your email a joy.

The Nokia E52 will ship with a 1GB microSD card and a free 60 day trial for Files on Ovi. It’ll be available in two colours, metal grey and golden aluminium which will help show off the 2.4-inch display (which also has automatic landscape support). The device also sports a compass alongside Nokia Maps and A-GPS. Plus, with speedy HSDPA (10.2Mb per second) and newer HSUPA upload access at up to 2Mb per second, the E52 is equipped for effortless content sharing on the move.

The Nokia E52 is slated to go on sale in the second half of this year at an estimated retail price of €245, before taxes or subsidies."

Ummm, it's an E55 with a T9.

slitchfield

Yeah, but I didn't think there was any point in saying that because noone's even handled the mythical E55.... 8-)

GASP, Great ... Another Symbian Phone. Stop pottering about and give us the N97!

Looks lovely :) Hopefully it will reach Sweden since E55 won't.

Although I do wish it was a bit thicker so a better camera and xenon flash would fit, hopefully we will see a relatively small candybar device with that in the N-series in a not too distant future. N82 is getting old.

... xenon flash..

LED flash...that'll keep Steve happy. He's not happy when he doesn't have anything to moan about ;)

looks like a nice phone!

Not sure why it has taken so long since say the n95 to produce this phone?

I wonder what the SARS rating will be on this phone - the last slim candy bar e-series phone has a very high rating.

Unregistered

QVGA? Fail

Been waiting for the E55 to get launched for 4 months now this! No question, much prefer a standard keypad but now looks like I'll have to wait until the end of the year to get my hands on this one. Don't know whether to go *GRRR* or *SOB*. Why do Nokia always have to give such massive lead times between announcing a new phone and actually launching it? To me it just means people keep putting off their purchase as whilst they're waiting for one phone to be launched, in the meantime they announce another one's on the way (6 months down the line of course).

I suspect I'll be getting this to go with my new iphone if the camera is ok

It'll take them both to replace my N95.

This device has the potential to be a huge hit not only with the corporate sector but across the mainstream market. Like the rest of the e series its build quality and robust feature set should guarantee success. There are many like me, I imagine, who simply could not get on with the kexpad on the otherwise appealing E71 and the E52 is an ideal alternative. As a very happy E51 owner I am sure this device will prove a solid option. It also shows that e and n series are gradually converging.

rvirga

Is there enough demand to justify the existence of both the E52 and the E55? Or will the E55 be silently dropped?

lakitu

Why do they still stick to mere QVGA ?? I don't understand

'LED flash...that'll keep Steve happy. He's not happy when he doesn't have anything to moan about ;)'

Yeah, the Pin Ball Wizard is having his new house lit exclusively using the latest in Xenon technology, his daughter has been renamed Xenona etc.

We love you really Steve.

Aaron Vergara

The design looks gorgeous.

On the video at 0:42, what is that beside the 3.5mm jack? A 1200-ish flash light or something?

Unregistered

It's the power button :)

What is that "ADVANCED FIXED FOCUS CAMERA???" thing???? Much better than Autofocus???

May be same as the "3RD GEN POWER LED" thing in N86???? Proved MUCH Much better than Xenon, right??? ;-)

I am sorry... Sarcasm is like breathing to me...
