Nokia E52 Riviews

The latest E series smartphone from Nokia would be the Nokia E52, where it is pretty much similar to the E55 in nature save for the missing QWERTY keypad, replaced by a standard alphanumeric keypad instead. Features of the E52 include a 2.4″ QVGA display, HSDPA/HSUPA connectivity, GPS navigation, a 3.2-megapixel camera, Ovi service support, noise cancellation and a new email user interface that can be found on the Nokia E75 as well – guess this means you can consolidate up to 10 email accounts onto a single device, so make sure you have an unlimited data line to go along with this unless you want to be faced with a hefty phone bill at the end of the month. Nokia claims that the E52 is equipped with an “impressive battery life” that ought to last for up to 8 hours of non-stop yakking, but we’re waiting for folks to test it and see how true this claim is. You can expect to pick up the Nokia E52 in either silver or brown colors from the second half of this year onwards for €245

Nokia E52 mobile phone comes with attractive price, outstanding features & technical specifications. Nokia E52 is a compact and Stylish business phone with superb voice quality (in-built noise cancellation), 3G Enabled, email connectivity @ attractive price.

Key specifications of Nokia E52 are like a Symbian OS, S60 rel. 3.2, 3.2 Mega Pixel camera with enhanced fixed focus and LED flash, video call camera for video calling, 60 MB built-in memory, microSD (TransFlash), up to 16GB plus 1GB included, HSDPA, 10.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 2 Mbps, Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP, microUSB v2.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, UPnP technology, GPS with A-GPS support; Nokia Maps 3.0, Stereo FM radio with RDS, 3.5 mm audio jack, Document viewer (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF) incl. MS Office 2007 support via free update and Voice memo. The Nokia E52 can give you its best battery time Up to 672 hours on standby, talk time of up to 8 hours and music play of 18.

Nokia's family of E-Series messaging phones is growing faster than we think is necessary. Last year saw two E-Series devices, the full-QWERTY candybar E71, and the slider with a numeric keypad E66. Even with just a choice of two there is no doubting the popularity of the E71, which crushed the E66 into forgettable dust. This year we've seen the E75 in the flesh and heard about the announcements of the E55 and E52, and the differences between all three handsets are smaller still, especially between the latter two.

Nokia E5 Series

Nokia E5 is one of the latest Nokia 3G (third generation) smartphones which borrows many of its styling and featuring cues from its siblings in the Nokia's India stable like Nokia E71 and E63. The new 3G smartphone is supported with the HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) network, which provides a commendable 3G mobile telephony communications in combination with a high speed internet access. In addition to this, the Wi-Fi feature makes it handy to use in the local wireless network, which in turn keeps you up to date while you are on
the go.
Nokia E5 review : One of the most recent Nokia smartphones is the Nokia E5. The Nokia E5 handset has a full Qwerty keyboard and is a follow-up of what Nokia offered with the Nokia E71 and E63 models. The Nokia E5 cell phone is especially aimed at the business user, who will also use the Nokia smartphone for personal use. That is actually a pretty logical and practically-oriented target group. A large part of business users also actively use their phone for personal use. The fact that the Nokia E5 is a business phone is noticeable right away in creating an e-mail account. The possibility of creating several (up to ten) accounts is offered, and is carried out easily.
The 3G enabled Nokia E5 comes equipped with a QWERTY keypad, which makes it perfectly suitable to the requirement of the new age mobile users such as typing longer and instant massages. The new age business class bound Nokia E5 can be used efficiently in both professional and personal work.

The new Nokia E5 features the Ovi Maps (Nokia’s free navigation solution), which is quite essential in finding the right address if you ever get lost. With this, it also helps you in easily get involved in most preferable business-social networks such as LinkedIn.
From the point of view of design and display, the new Nokia E5 can be considered a refurbished avatar of Nokia E71. It carries a display of 2.4 inch which is though small but offers a crystal clear display to the users. It comes featured with a 320x240 pixels resolution along with 250.000 reproduction colors. Though the new 3G Nokia E5 comes with an internal memory of only 250MB, the total memory can be enhanced to as much as 32GB with the help of microSDHC card which enables you to store media-rich files like music, videos, and high-resolution images. With this a 2GB microSD memory card is available as a standard feature with this phone. The mobile is expected to mark its debut in the Indian market by Sept 2010.
Nokia today announced a new addition to its Eseries line up. The Nokia E5, which runs S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2, is a mid-range device in a QWERTY slab form factor, with a 5 megapixel EDoF camera, comprehensive connectivity (tri-band 3G, WiFi), integrated GPS and 256MB of RAM, the first of the new raft of Nokia Symbian-powered phones to have this. It has a comprehensive social messaging software suite, with support for email, instant messaging and social networks. The Nokia E5, which can be considered a successor to the E63, will be available in Q3 2010 at a price of EUR 180 before taxes and subsidies. Read on for specs, photos and our thoughts.

The E5 is very similar in size to the E63 (115 x 58.9 x 12.8 mm versus 113 mm x 59 mm x 13 mm), but slightly smaller by volume (75 cc versus 86 cc) thanks to its more rounded profile. Due to the lower price and resultant materials the E5 is bigger than the E72 (114 x 58.3 x 10.1 mm and 65 cc). The keyboard's bottom row has been slightly tweaked with a return to the larger space bar with three (E5, E71), rather than four (E63, E72), buttons on either side. The control cluster has also been redesigned, as has the back of the device, with a mixture of plastic and metallic materials.

At €180 before taxes and subsidies, the E5 is Nokia's cheapest ever Eseries. It compares with launch prices of €199 for Nokia E63, €245 for the Nokia E52 and €350 for the Nokia E72. In the UK it should have a SIM-free street price of around £180, but, as with other products, this will fall in time.

Nokia X6 disadvantages

Introduction

In the world of Nokia it's all about evolution, rather than revolution. So don't expect the specs on the X6 to blow your mind. The handset is the next step for the market leader scrambling to make up for a late start in touch- screens. To be honest, the Symbian S60 touch edition has been struggling to catch up with the standard setters in terms of user experience. And the X6 claims to have the answer: the responsiveness only a capacitive screen can bring. 
The Nokia X6 is also the first XpressMusic handset to head straight for the high-end. Midrange is the highest the music Finns have gone so we are interested to see how this change of approach works. Nokia have always had a strong appeal to the masses, but pleasing the selected few is undoubtedly harder

Key features:
  • Quad-band GSM support
  • Tri-band 3G with HSDPA support
  • 3.2" 16M-color TFT LCD 16:9 capacitive touchscreen (360 x 640 pixels)
  • Symbian S60 5th edition UI
  • ARM 11 434 MHz CPU, 128 MB of RAM memory
  • 5 megapixel autofocus camera with dual-LED flash
  • VGA video recording at 30fps
  • Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, UPnP technology
  • Built-in GPS receiver
  • 32GB built-in storage
  • FM radio with RDS
  • Bluetooth and USB (standard microUSB connector) v2.0
  • 3.5mm standard audio jack
  • Very good audio quality
  • Proximity sensor for screen auto turn-off
  • Accelerometer sensor for automatic UI rotation and motion-based gaming
  • Stereo speakers
  • TV out
  • "Comes with music" edition gives you a year of all-you-can-eat music subscription
  • Landscape on-screen virtual QWERTY keyboard
  • Ovi Maps 3.0 Touch
  • Further Ovi and MySpace service integration (direct image and video uploads)
  • Most regional retail packages include a set of the great Nokia WH-500 headphones
Main disadvantages:
  • X6 is still quite pricey (around 500 euro at the time of writing)
  • UI is still immature with somewhat inconsistent user experience
  • Touch web browser not quite polished and with dodgy Flash support
  • No voice-guided navigation license
  • No office document viewer preinstalled
  • Doesn't charge off microUSB
  • Very poor sunlight legibility
  • Slow image gallery
  • No DivX/XviD support for the video player
  • No microSD card slot (as a connectivity solution)
As you can see in the two lists above there is almost nothing new in the software package, so it all falls on the hardware to justify the high asking price. The well-stuffed retail package is a great place to start but does the capacitive screen improve usability enough to be worth the extra money over, say, the 5800 XpressMusic? And the difference in price is by no means trivial.
In the increasingly competitive touchscreen market manufacturers don't have much room for error. The unpolished S60 UI is enough of a burden already, so Nokia X6 has to be near perfect in every other respect. A tall task indeed, but let's see how they've tackled it.

Nokia X5-01 disadvantages




Introduction

On occasion Nokia will experiment with form factor and shape. The Nokia X5-01 is the kind of phone that might just leave you wondering. Is it having a bad slider day or a great square day? No, the Nokia X5 is better than that. It’s a neat and chubby Symbian smartie with a QWERTY keyboard and a 5MP camera.
The struggle to provide a better system of text input while keeping the size down is still ongoing. Touchscreen provides an answer of sorts, but nothing yet really beats an old-fashioned hardware QWERTY keyboard.
The full four-row keyboard on the Nokia X5 has a long list of applications – from SMS and email, to IM and social networking. The Nokia X5-01 sports a dedicated media key too – it’s no square when it comes to having fun.
The 5MP camera is a constant source of photos to share with friends and you can do it over Wi-Fi, no need for a data plan. The Nokia X5-01 is a full-blown smartphone too – 600MHz and 256MB RAM put it within a stone’s throw of the Nokia N8 performance. And the Ovi Store is steadily growing with new and useful apps.
We were a little disappointed to find the X5-01 doesn’t have a GPS receiver. Check out our list of pros and cons to see what made the cut and what didn’t.

Key features

·                 Full QWERTY slider form factor

·                 Quad-band GSM/EDGE, tri-band 3G with HSDPA and HSUPA

·                 Symbian S60 UI, 3rd edition FP2

·                 600MHz processor, 256MB RAM; 200MB user-accessible storage

·                 2.36" 256K-color QVGA display 

·                 5 megapixel fixed-focus camera, LED flash, VGA@15fps video recording

·                 Standard microUSB port (charging)

·                 microSD card slot (32GB supported, 2GB included)

·                 Wi-Fi b/g; DLNA and UPnP support

·                 Bluetooth (with A2DP) 

·                 Accelerometer-based controls

·                 Dedicated media key

·                 Stereo FM radio with RDS, Internet radio

·                 3.5mm audio jack

·                 Excellent audio quality

·                 Comes With Music bundle in select markets

·                 Good email and social networking support

·                 Office document viewer; ZIP file support

·                 Quick Business and Personal homescreen toggle

Main disadvantages

·                 No GPS receiver

·                 No office document editing

·                 Small, low-resolution screen

·                 Non-hot-swappable microSD card under the battery

·                 Fixed focus camera

·                 Poor video recording 

·                 No camera lens protection

·                 No DivX or XviD video support out-of-the-box

·                 No smart dialing

So, some things were left out, but Nokia managed to fit a lot of features in a small package. The last square-shaped QWERTY messenger we reviewed was the Motorola Flipout, which had its own set of pros and cons. For one thing, the Nokia X5-01 is a cheaper entry into the world of smart messengers. And it’s an entry with a bang.
It’s clearly not a phone that will appeal to everyone, but some will fall for its looks and rectangular charm. And as far as non-touch smartphones go, the Nokia X5-01 actually ranks pretty high on features.
It has a couple of nice accelerometer-based tricks too. If you press and hold the volume key, then shake the X5-01 it will “knock” several times – according to how many new messages you have. You can also skip a music track by shaking the phone.
Now, you can go ahead and skip to the next page for the hardware tour. We begin with unboxing and the 360-degree spin



Nokia X3 disadvantages



Introduction

The Nokia X3 is our first glimpse into the new Xseries and we’re excited to see how things have changed since XpressMusic ran the show. And they have changed, the new angular look is a testament to that. The S40 on the inside has changed as well, throwing Ovi Store and basic multi-tasking into the mix. 
Currently the Xseries is composed of two completely different phones. The Nokia X6 is a touch phone running Symbian, and the X3 is an affordable Series 40 slider. It packs stereo speakers, excellent audio quality and a built-in FM radio antenna for a complete sonic experience. All right, we said affordable, so don’t go looking for top-notch gear beside the obvious full music package.

The Nokia X3 runs the Series 40 6th edition but it’s unlike any S40 handset we’ve seen before. For a brief, joyful moment, we thought Nokia have finally given in and added multitasking. The truth turned out to be different but still there were small steps 
taken in the right direction. And you should see what they’ve done with the Gallery – it’s only a notch bellow the S60 one.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves and let’s take a look at the Nokia X3 pros and cons. 

Key features
  • Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support
  • 2.2" 262K color QVGA display
  • 3.2 megapixel fixed focus camera
  • S40 user interface, 6th edition; rudimentary multitasking
  • Stereo FM radio with RDS; Built-in antena (so it plays on the loudspeakers even if you don’t plug the headset)
  • Stereo speakers
  • Standard 3.5mm audio jack
  • Up to 26 hours of music playback
  • Bluetooth (with A2DP) and microUSB port
  • microSD card slot (16 GB supported, 2GB included)
  • Rich preinstalled application package
  • Ovi Store, Ovi Maps and Ovi Share
Main disadvantages:
  • No 3G connectivity
  • Smallish display with poor viewing angles and sunlight legibility
  • Slider action has an unpleasant plastic-on-plastic friction
  • No accelerometer for screen auto rotation
  • S40 interface feels clunky and out of date
  • No true multitasking
  • No smart dialing or an office document viewer
  • A bunch of software bugs
  • Video recording maxes out at QCIF@15fps 
The specs look like nothing to be excited about but a shortish feature list never tells the whole story. So, think before you go “Nah, it sounds lame”, because you’ll be wrong about sound. We spent several days with it and now we’re ready to tell you the story behind those specs, the good, the bad and the ugly, the whole thing. 
Do we have your interest? Good. Jump to the next page where we open the box and take a look at the Nokia X3. After the hardware inspection we’ll try to explain what the deal is with this multitasking-but-not-quite situation

Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type disadvantages


Introduction

Nokia is trying really hard to build back some lost trust. The new Symbian^3 smartphones are just one weapon in their armory. The other is the touch-enabled lineup of feature phones called Touch and Type. S40 has never before been into the touch business, but the X3-02 is here to change all that.
You have the right to remain skeptical. In fact a healthy does of skepticism is welcome – this market just might not have enough room for yet another touchscreen feature phone. And it’s a S40 phone at that. But you know what – the Nokia X3-02 will not listen to doubters. It’s a phone whose glass is always half full. Half full with touchscreen and half full with keys.
The Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type doesn’t rely on its touchscreen only but on good looks and charm too. It comes in four different colors and has a redesigned keypad. That’s right, Nokia refuses to give up on the good old numeric keypad and it will be an essential companion on the X3-02.
So, you have the touch, and you have the type. There’s the right measure of style too. But that’s not always enough for a classy phone. People want features as well. So, let’s take a closer look at them.

Key features

·                 Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support

·                 Quad-band 3G with 10Mbps HSDPA and 2Mbps HSUPA

·                 Neat and well built, slim and lightweight, metal on the body

·                 2.4" 256K-color resistive TFT QVGA touchscreen

·                 S40 6th edition UI

·                 5 megapixel fixed-focus camera

·                 VGA video recording at 15fps

·                 Wi-Fi b/g/n

·                 Stereo FM radio with RDS, Visual radio

·                 Bluetooth v2.1 (with A2DP)

·                 Standard microUSB port (charging enabled)

·                 USB On-The-Go

·                 microSD card slot (32 GB supported, 2GB included)

·                 3.5mm audio jack

·                 Innovative vibrating touch feedback

Main disadvantages

·                 Small screen (for a touch phone)

·                 No multitasking

·                 No GPS

·                 Fixed-focus camera

·                 No document viewer

·                 No smart dialing

·                 No video-call camera

·                 No accelerometer sensor

There are quite a few things left off of this S40 handset, but it’s the first with a touchscreen on board. Wi-Fi is a rarity on this platform too. In fact we’ll admit quite ahead of our conclusion – we do like the Nokia X3-02 already.
But it’ll take more than that. You’ll have to simply love it. You’ll have to not notice the bad. One thing the Nokia X3-02 won’t give you is multitasking. Another important absentee is GPS and navigation. We just can’t have everything, can we? That might be quite an omission for some, but we hope the performance and ergonomics will make up for that. Let’s see how those shape up right after the jump



Nokia X2 disadvantages


Introduction

When you’re shopping on a budget, getting the most bang for your buck is what counts. And the Nokia X2 is keen to give you an exchange rate that’s hard to beat. This no-nonsense bar delivers a 5MP camera with flash, great audio with stereo speakers, dedicated music keys and a built-in antenna for the FM receiver.
Features like that can run up quite a bill at checkout – but not with the Nokia X2. Its price hovers around the 100 euro mark – a bargain for that feature set.
Not that there weren’t compromises made – here’s the rundown of what made the cut and what was scrapped.

Key features

·                 Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support

·                 2.2" 262K-color QVGA display

·                 5 megapixel enhanced fixed-focus camera with LED flash

·                 QVGA video recording at 15fps

·                 Series 40 UI, 6th edition

·                 Dedicated Facebook app

·                 Bluetooth (with A2DP) 

·                 Standard microUSB port (charging); USB On-The-Go

·                 Hot-swappable microSD card slot (16 GB supported)

·                 Stereo FM radio with RDS; built-in antenna

·                 3.5mm audio jack

·                 Dedicated music keys

·                 Stereo speakers

·                 Excellent loudspeaker performance

·                 Great audio quality

·                 Aluminum back cover

Main disadvantages

·                 No 3G

·                 No GPS receiver

·                 No WLAN

·                 S40 is outdated and lacks multitasking

·                 No document viewer

·                 No smart dialing

·                 Below par still and video camera

·                 Wobbly microUSB port

The Nokia X2 is a lower midrange S40 phone and it shows when you look at the disadvantages. But most of those are under the hood and you likely won’t notice them right away. The back cover is made of aluminum and has a brushed metal finish that looks great.
The stereo speakers are loud and you don’t need the headphones to blast out that new song on the radio. And if that feels too retro, the microSD card slot is easily accessible. The Nokia X2 is true Xseries stuff and makes no excuses when it comes to music.
The Nokia X2 doesn’t overlook the biggest thing on the Internet since Google either. The dedicated Facebook app is pretty good (by non-touch phones’ standards).
And the 5MP camera with LED flash came as a bit of a surprise – that kind of camera usually goes on a mid-to-high end phones. Not all 5MP cameras are born equal though as we’ll see later on.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves – we need to open the box first. Jump to the next page to see what’s in and how the Nokia X2 feels on the outside
