The Nokia E62 is a bar design available through Cingular. The display is large, taking up the top half of the device, with the keyboard taking up the bottom half. It has an all metal silver casing and is similar in size to the Blackberry 8700. Opening the box revealed an AC charger, USB cable, Users Guide and PC Suite software for your PC.

There are several key features on this device that are just about required by anyone using a PDA integrated with a cell phone these days. Bluetooth, full internet, QWERTY keyboard, several email options, calendar and the ability to Sync with your computer all allow for ease of use. The Symbian operating system allows for a wide variety of third party programs to be downloaded onto the device, for a fee. You are able to view, and edit PowerPoint, Excel and Word documents, Adobe Reader, however we would recommend viewing and not editing Excel or Power Point files. Trying to edit them led us to frustration a few times before we finally gave up and went to a computer to edit them. The E62 lacks both the 3G band (UMTS/HSDPA), and Wi-Fi of its predecessor, the E61.

Much as with the E60, the E70 initially strikes you as a rather plain, standard phone. There’s a screen at the top, sensible buttons at the bottom, a camera lens on the back, and not much else. What’s fantastic about this phone, and why it’s in the Nokia E (Enterprise) series is what’s under the hood (literally) and the mode of text entry. While you might be a T9 whiz, not everyone is, and the Blackberry-toting businessman has his two thumbs perfectly placed to type really quickly on a small but functional keyboard. And while the E61 form factor replicates the Blackberry, the E70 is more subtle. Sure, it has the classic candy bar shape, but then…

…hinge up that keypad, like the gull wing doors on a DeLorean, and you’ve got yourself a full keyboard. In addition, the high resolution portrait screen switches itself to landscape mode, reconfiguring the applications to take account of the different space and controls. It’s very, very swish, and lifts the E70 out of the crowd of ‘standard’ smartphones to something pretty special.

It’s also not gimmicky. This gullwing/split design has appeared before, in a Series 40 Nokia phone, and it obviously went down well in the focus groups. With slightly domed keys (more than on the 9500, but not by much) it’s pretty accurate but you can’t really push the speed – your thumbs can only move so fast. What is noticeable, and not easily cured, is that the phone is geared towards the right-handed people of the world. There’s only one way to hold the phone in “open” mode, and the phone cursor and soft keys snuggle up to the right hand side of the screen. There’s no easy solution, but it can make the phone awkward for left handers. What’s nice is the automatic reconfiguring of the screen. When you open the keyboard, the applications re-jig their layout, menu and buttons to make full use of the UI.

A New Nokia E-90 Series targeting the new business culture of mobility will soon be available in the market.The product will be handy for professionals who value time making it possible for them to respond to jobs.

The device is different from others because of the additional performance and a higher memory capacity.

Speaking during the launch of the new product Richard Vester the head of Nokia enterprise solutions for south and East Africa said the phone would be available at a price of 750-800 euro as per the world market price.

Despite the qwerty keyboard and office suite, the Nokia E61 was a bit of a sideways step for someone used to a Nokia 9500 (for example), but the new E90 brings all that was good about the classic Communicator hardware and form factor into the same series as the E61. In fact, the hardware’s demonstrably better:

• the 800 by 352 pixel by 24-bit colour main screen (dwell on those specs for a second - two and a half times wider than that on the E61 and almost double the height)
• the full QVGA external screen (no more cut-down external interface)
• the full integration of external and internal displays (so that you can switch seamlessly between the same application in open or closed mode!)
• fast processor and around 80MB of RAM (yep, that’s RAM, not storage memory) free after booting
• a significantly better keyboard
• a more flexible hinge (stronger and allowing flat-use, as in the 9300)
• an integrated GPS receiver (a la the N95, and a great match for the new Nokia Maps software/service)
• a standard miniUSB port (no more Pop-port, thankfully) and stereo headphone socket
• a far superior (3 megapixel, auto-focus, with flash) stills camera
• a pretty decent (VGA resolution, 25 frames per second) video camera
