The E90 is Nokia’s new top end enterprise-focussed device. However, as with the multimedia-focussed N95, Nokia have packed in an impressive number of features. The connectivity options include quad band EGSM, 3G connectivity (WCDMA and HSDPA), WiFi (802.11g), Bluetooth (including stereo audio support), infrared and USB (2.0 full-speed). There is also a 2.5mm audio jack for headsets, a FM Radio, a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto-focus and DVD-quality recording, and an integrated GPS chipset. All this in the standard Communicator clamshell form factor, which this time boasts an external QVGA screen with number keypad and a wide (800×352 pixels) internal screen with full QWERTY keyboard.

The build quality is also excellent for this Nokia. However, the faceplate at the back of the E90 didn’t gel very well at the top where the speakers are, but we’re nitpicking and it could be just our review unit. When we’re using the directional pad, delete and enter buttons on the QWERTY, we can feel its hollowness.
On the outside, the E90 is like any other candy-bar phone. In fact, most of the functions are accessible from the 2-inch screen save for a front-facing camera for 3G video calls. The beauty of the E90 shows up only when we open the clamshell and let it sit on the table like a mini laptop.

The E90 is effectively two phones in one, but with a common data store and computer between them. With the clamshell closed, the E90 is an a fairly standard, if rather large, S60 smartphone. There are the usual control keys and number keypad, and 16 million colour QVGA screen. The external keypad is perfectly usable, although it doesn’t measure up to that found on the N93. The usual S60 applications are present and it is possible to carry out every function of the phone in this mode, from writing emails and watching films to making phone calls. However, opening up the device reveals a decent sized QWERTY keyboard and a gorgeous 800 x 352 pixel screen. The inside also runs S60, albeit with the UI appropriately reconfigured for the screen size. The impressive part is that the phone will switch seamlessly between the two screens and maintain application state. This means you can, for example, beginning to compose a message in closed mode, but decide to continue it using the full keyboard without the need for any user interface intervention. The switch generally takes about a second, although I would expect this to get better nearer the release date.

Setting up the E90 to connect to our Exchange server was also a breeze. We used the Mail for Exchange program which can be downloaded for free from Nokia’s Web site. The application allows us to sync our calendar, contacts and email on our server to the mobile device. There’s also an option to set how often the synchronization should happen, although we left that to manual most of the time. The E90 also supports other popular messaging clients such as RIM’s BlackBerry Connect and Intellisync Wireless Email.
The other component of the Communicator which we were rather impressed with is the LCD. The screen is crystal-clear and text on it appears razor sharp. It also held up well under sunlight and has a wide viewing angle.

Its design is classic Nokia understatement - a slim candybar phone with an elegant metal trim and back panel adding a classy feel to the package. The metal edging is available in three flavours: shiny silver, black or bronze.

The E51 is a 3G, HSDPA capable phone — our test sample came configured for Telstra’s Next G network. It also boasts Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities, as you’d expect from a business-class phone. The E51 runs on the Symbian 60 platform, with support for push mail via Mail for Exchange, Visto Mobile, and Seven Always-on platforms. On the office side, QuickOffice provides access to Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents, although critically this is in a viewing capacity only. We can’t imagine seriously editing a business document on the E51’s two-inch display, so perhaps Nokia has a point in not including a full editor; still, some business users may find this a distinct drawback.

The bottom half is peppered with various shortcut keys and a generous-sized keypad. Above that is a modest 2-inch QVGA display with an ambient light sensor and LED light indicator customizable to light up in the event of missed calls, incoming text/multimedia messages or emails. The screen is readable even in bright outdoor conditions, which is great. However, it’s probably not suitable for prolonged Web surfing or document reading, unless you want to end up straining your vision.

Nokia E51 takes functionality to a higher level than E50. The successor measures 114.8 x 46 mm, which is pretty much the same as the old Nokia E50, but its 12 mm slimness makes good sense in Nokia’s business line. The E51 is the thinnest Eseries squad member. The weight has gone up by only 4 grams to a total of 100 sharp, which is a great achievement, given the features this handset offers.

The Nokia E50 Smartphone is the business users perfect partner as it comes with S60 software on a Symbian operating system. The handset is very attractive & comes in a silver coloured casing with black sections to add style & class to this business mobile phone. The handset weighs 104 grams & measures 113 x 43.5 x 15.5 mm which provides the user with a neat & easy to handle mobile phone. The E50 comes from the E range designed beautifully by Nokia which includes the Nokia E60, Nokia E61 & the Nokia E70.
The phone comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera complete with a 4 x digital zoom. The camera feature provides the user with a fun element to this highly equipped business phone. The large TFT screen works as a viewfinder & provides a 262k colour display & a screen resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. The user can store their pictures on the very capable memory, share the pictures with others via multimedia messaging or email. The Nokia E50 comes with 70 Mbytes of dynamic memory which is a large amount & can be expanded even further by using the MicroSD™ cards. The memory cards are hot swappable cards that can be inserted & removed easily. The user can record video for up to one hour & store it on the phones memory & play it back on the video player. The Nokia E50 has a built in music player which plays music in either MP3 format or AAC music format. The RealPlayer feature allows the user to play streaming sound & video footage.

The design of E50 is rather conservative. It is mostly silver and black which merge in some areas and create a pretty ergonomic impression. The phone is not flat and the keypad part is positioned lower than the rest of the body. This leads to a significant ease when writing. The joystick bulks in front of everything and smashes to pieces the nice impression of the otherwise perfect design of the phone.
The phone’s size can be very well understood when compared to other phones. We have made such comparisons for our readers with N93 and E70. You can see that E50 is smaller, narrower and thinner than both phones. All three smartphones run on the same Symbian OS with Series 60 user interface.

One of the major highlights of the E50, distinguishing it from other Eseries-branded offerings, as well as Nokia’s smartphones, is the revamped active standby mode, packing even more functionality and ease-of-use. The modifications are as follows: now the standby mode settings contain a list featuring those functions, whose notifications may be taken to the display. At a glance, there is nothing very special about it, but still it does make some difference. You are also at liberty to leave only shortcuts on the desk, without any notes.

Another novelty, which is quite handy among all other things, is “Search application” – the way it works can be seen on the screenshots. As long as you have the search line unfilled, the app will return you information on amount of messages, contacts, calendar events, notes, tasks and other files. With the release of the E50 this applications made it to the mass market meaning that it is now available for other S60 3rd edition powered smartphones for no fee.

The 7500 isn’t called the Prism because it’s made of glass, nor is it called the Prism because it refracts light into a rainbow. It has that name, at least we assume, because of its triangular-shaped keys. Nokia is no stranger to irregular keypads, having produced phones with buttons arranged in a circle, so this arrangement doesn’t come as a surprise. Yes, it’s eye-catching, but usability was another story (more on that later).
Fashioned in basic black, the candy bar Prism has a sleek and stylish look. And at 4.29 inches by 1.72 inches by 0.57 inche, it’s relatively compact and trim. There’s no distracting external antenna and, except for the plastic rear cover, the phone has a solid feel. The pattern on the keys extends to the phone’s rear face, where triangles in two shades come together in an attractive design. The rear-facing flash is also triangular, while the camera lens is shaped like a diamond. There’s also a small speaker on the rear face; we’ve never been fans of rear-facing speakers since they direct sound away from you.

The 7500 Prism has a 1,000-contact phone book with room in each entry for five phone numbers, a push-to-talk number, an e-mail address, a Web address, a company name, a job title, a nickname, a street address, a birthday, and notes (the SIM card holds an additional 250 names). You can organize contacts into groups and pair them with a photo or one of 17 polyphonic ringtones. Other essentials include a vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging, an alarm clock, a calendar, a to-do list, a notepad, a calculator, a countdown timer, and a stopwatch.

On the higher end, the Prism offers a voice recorder, full Bluetooth with a stereo profile, e-mail, PC syncing, USB mass storage, instant messaging, voice dialing and commands, call recording, and support for push-to-talk (PTT) networks. Just keep in mind that the last feature is carrier-dependent, so even if you use an unlocked 7500 with AT&T, you won’t be able to use the PTT feature. Globetrotters can take advantage of the world clock, a nifty size converter for changing between U.S. and European clothing and shoe sizes, and support for Nokia’s Sensor application, which is a quasisocial-networking feature that scans nearby Bluetooth users.

Complementing the Nokia 7900, on the lower end of the series is the 7500 Prism. The 7500 features a similar design to the 7900, but loses the 3G capabilities of its sibling and makes use of more traditional TFT technology for its display. The handset’s display still features QVGA resolution and also is capable of displaying 16 million colors. The 7500 also has and 2MP camera, and its lack of a large amount of on board memory is made up for with compatibility with microSD memory cards of up to 2GB in size. The Nokia 7500 Prism also features bright, interchangeable color accents.

This is a small, light, candybar handset. Measuring 106mm x 43mm x 12mm and weighing 91g it doesn’t break any records, but it does feel comfortable in the hand and lightweight in the pocket; and that’s despite the fact that there is quite a lot of metal in the fascia.

Nokia’s slogan for the 6300 is “Simply beautiful - beautifully simple.” The beauty comes from the sleek, classic design with stainless-steel surfaces, and the simplicity reflects the fact that this is an all-round kind of phone: not a smartphone, not 3G, but including all of the functionality that most people want. Sounds like a winner! Could Nokia finally be getting back to what it used to do best - a phone that does just what you want and does it well?

The number pad is slightly squished into the bottom section of the phone, but its keys are pretty large nonetheless, and the squishing means there is room for a sizeable navigation button and well spaced softkeys, Call and End keys.

The screen is a bit small at just two inches corner to corner, but it displays 240 x 320 pixels and a massive 16.7 million colours, and as a result it is pin-sharp.

Certainly the phone looks good when you pick it up. It’s like the early 6-series Nokia’s: exclusive- and expensive-looking, practically designed with a good sized screen and functional keypad, yet updated for 2007 with a 5-way navigation button and high quality colour display. The size is perfect: it’s very slim (just 11.7mm) and not too wide, and the weight is enough to make it feel solid and substantial, but not so much that it feels heavy. The keypad is a decent size and is easy to use. The display is exceptional: a high resolution 240 x 320 pixel display with an amazing 16 million colours. On the outside the 6300 ticks all the right boxes.

The glossy plastic used in the 6300 is good; in fact it is similar to that found in Sony Ericsson T610i. Even though it draws scratches and finger-prints, they are not too prominent, unless you start examining it, of course. The metal is exposed to wear and tear as well – first grazes appear in a week’s time, but you won’t stumble upon them at first. Overall, all surfaces of this kind suffer from the same “illness” – Nokia N91 is not an exception with is battery cover.

Weighting only 94 grams, the 6300 fits in hands pretty well and can be carried in any desired fashion. The handset is easy to use, yet retains a number of shortcomings in ergonomics. In light of the face it makes use of dual-interface layout, on Sony Ericsson’s “advice”, dedicated volume keys have been moved to the right side in most phones. This proves to be handy when this key doubles as zoom-button in camera mode. However since Nokia 6300 houses only a single side-mounted key, specifically the volume rocker key, why would they need to relocate it to the right? To blindly follow up the trend? But it is not convenient, and due to being hard-to-push and placed quite deep inside the casing, this key won’t make the user very happy.
