BlackBerry lovers, there's a new device on the block, and it packs all the functionality of a quad-band Nokia smartphone into a design that business users have grown to love. The device packs EDGE data capabilities, Bluetooth, a miniSD memory card slot, and support for just about every email protocol you can think of -- including BlackBerry Connect and Goodlink. All this and much more is packed into a thin, sleek, and stylish exterior that's perfect for the discerning professional. The Nokia E62 is the perfect way to take advantage of all that Cingular service has to offer.

<table align=right width=250 cellpadding=10> <tr> <td> <img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/wireless/detail-page/e61-1.jpg" border=1 align=top>

<small><b>Thin, light, and powerful, the E62 makes a great office on the go.</b> <small></td></tr></table> <B>Design</B>
The E62 goes with a tried and true design that makes it easy to communicate at a moment's notice. The large, 320 x 240 screen supports a whopping 16.7 million colors, while a QWERTY keyboard just below the screen makes typing out emails, SMS messages, notes, presentations, and more a breeze. A center "thumb stick" allows you to quickly navigate the E62's menus and features, while soft keys on either side of the stick make it easy to quickly access important phone and productivity functions -- all of which make the E62 a snap to use one-handed. On the bottom of the phone, you'll find a dedicated headset jack and a mini-usb connector. The phone's charging port and infrared sensor are also located on the bottom of the phone. Under the battery cover, you'll find a hot-swappable miniSD slot, as well. The device ships with 75 MB of internal memory, as well as a 64 MB miniSD card.

<B>Calling Features</B>
The E62's address book is only limited by the amount of available memory, and it can store multiple phone numbers, as well as physical and email addresses. Meanwhile, the E62's built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear, while speaker-independent voice dialing makes it easy to dial numbers with the sound of your voice. Polyphonic ringtones are included, and you can use your favorite music or recorded voices as ringtones. You can also download additional MP3 music ringtones from Cingular's MEdia Net service. Plus, picture IDs let you assign specific ringtones to particular callers. If you want to keep things discreet, there's a vibrate mode, too. And, of course, the phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible.

<B>Messaging, Internet and Tools</B>
With support for the MMS (multimedia messaging service), the E62 can send picture, video and text messages. Instant messaging is also supported, and the phone ships with a built-in email client that supports POP3, IMAP, and SMTP protocols, as well as Microsoft Office-based email attachments. A robust set of push email and wireless synchronization solutions are provided, including Activesync for Exchange and Outlook, Intellisync, BlackBerry Connect, and Goodlink.

With BlackBerry service plans from Cingular, you can receive emails instantaneously from up to 10 email accounts (personal and enterprise). With BlackBerry push technology, you don't need to retrieve your email. Instead, BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, allowing you to be discreetly notified as new email arrives. Support is also built-in for viewing email attachments (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, WordPerfect, and PDF formats).

Getting on the Internet is easy with the E62. It supports the GPRS data protocol, as well as high-speed EDGE wireless data service. When used with a Cingular data plan and the phone's Bluetooth data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs.

<small><b>Just the right dimensions for mobile productivity.</b> <small></td></tr></table> The E62's innovative built-in browser, one of many enhancements included with the device's new Symbian operating system -- known as Series 60 9.1 Version 3 -- offers full HTML viewing as well as support for page zooming, CSS, javascript and other technologies that will bring you very close to a desktop PC browsing experience.

The E62 supports PC synchronization standards via USB or Bluetooth, which means you can manage and synchronize contacts, calendars and other data with your PC. Nokia's PC Suite application makes this process a breeze. A number of handy software tools are bundled with the device, including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, and an alarm clock. Productivity tools bundled with the E62 include a word processor, a presentation viewer/editor, a spreadsheet viewer/editor, PDF viewer, and a zip file manager. The office applications are compatible with the most common features of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel (MS Office 97 or later). Robust contact and calendar applications are also included.

<B>Entertainment</B>
You can mix your business with quite a bit of pleasure, as the E62 supports playback of MP3 and AAC audio files, as well as streaming and stored video files. Connect a headset, load up your tunes and videos to a memory card, and you've got some serious entertainment in your hand. Picture effects and custom screensavers, as well as backgrounds and themes, can be set up to fit your personality. And don't forget that the E62 is a powerful gaming companion with support for Java and Symbian games.

<B>Vital Statistics</B>
The Nokia E62 weighs 5 ounces and measures 4.61 x 2.74 x 0.55 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 7 hours of digital talk time, and up to 264 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies.

Not as smart as regular phones.......2007-06-01

So I wanted to upgrade, to get a phone that would help me increase my productivity and allow me e-mail and internet functionality. The Nokia was not it, I'm afraid.

It's not even that great as a phone, as it has several pretty nasty habits. For one, it will randomly set itself to profiles other than the one I set for it, which means that on occasion it will ring when it's supposed to be silent, it will use a ringtone I didn't select, or - as in several noteworthy occasions - it will set itself to be "offline," meaning no ingoing or outgoing calls.

Last week it randomly deleted all the numbers saved in my speed dial and I had to reset them all.

It's little things. For instance, when you select "log," you have to click through two extra screens before you see your recent calls, which is a complete waste of time. The interface is not intuitive and easy to use like other smartphones, and the web functionality is pretty much crap. I will say: this is the first phone I've ever had where I really liked using the speakerphone. So there's that.

I've never been happy with a Nokia phone, and after my experience with this one, I'm never buying another Nokia again.

Excellent phone, one flaw.......2007-04-28

As previousely mentioned in other reviews, this phone is frustratingly slow. When sending text messages, it takes a good 45 seconds to send. The keyboard is not stiff at all, at least I don't think so, but it is a bit goofy to type with as compared to the Nokia 6822 (a phone I would deffinately recommend for text lovers). One reviewer mentioned that the backlight doesn't come on with the pressing of any key. I found that a bit annoying as well, until I pressed the power key, which turned the backlight on while the keys were locked. The most annoying feature of this phone is the voice recorder button. It is located on the upper left side, and is easily pressed. And when you press it, it automatically starts recording. I've bumped it several times, and the automatic recording plus the slow loading time is a real pain. But when it comes down to it, minus the slow loading time, this is a wonderful phone. It displays all the "to-do" items right on the home screen, and has excellent sound quality for mp3 playback, and it's loud enough for me to hear it when I'm blaring music in my car. I would give it 5 stars if it weren't for the slow loading time, and that stupid voice recorder; both a minor inconvenience at best.

Perfect professional and personal device!.......2007-03-25

My old devie was one Dell X 51V Pocket-Pc with Windows Mobile 5.0.
My new device is a Nokia E62.
I use it for professional and personal live, and love it!
I use it to:
- send and receive e-mails ( MS Exchange, Hotmail, Gmail, others ),
- browse the web ( the screen is great, and you see the real sites ),
- to write documents in meetings ( i use only one hand and can write with good speed ),
- to talk with Messenger,
- to listen music ( the sound is great ),
- to play backgammon ( Fox Cunning ) and
- to read a lot of documents like spreadcheets, PDFs and PPTs.

To me it is the perfect professional and personal device!

this phone is awesome!.......2007-03-11

Wonderful keyboard! I've watched a movie on this phone....read a PDF short story on it and listened to some music. Nokia PC Suite works with Vista right out of the box without updates and has lots of great features. I don't use this phone for email or office apps. I just wanted a phone that could do just about everything and I got it.

The Good, The Bad and the Mega-Ugly.......2007-03-03

Okay, so here's what good:

a) keyboard kicks butt. Dont listen to anyone who says different. They are clueless SureType loving nuts. Hey dont listen to me, try it yourself.

b) The phone is relatively slim for other devices in its category. Exhibit A: Blackberry 9700.

c) User interface is mostly awesome. Phone calls are placed at the forefront of the UI, as they should be. Look at Tmobile MDA for an excellent example of how NOT to design a phone.

d) supports BlackBerry Connect as well as Good messaging. Sweet!!

Okay, over to the bad:

a) Sloooooow. The damn device is so freaking slow. It makes the TMobile MDA and the Treo look good, which takes the lot since those devices set the performance bar pretty damn low.

b) No Wi-Fi, No 3G, No Camera.

c) Cingular (of course). The IM client that ships with the E62 USES ONE TEXT MESSAGE FOR ONE IM. Do not get ripped off by using the IM client, Cingular decided it was okay to screw over customers with humonguous text message bills (I sent out 900 texts in one month unwittingly on account of the IM client) even though they already pay upwards of $45 dollars for the data channel. What a scam!!! I downloaded Agile Messenger for 20 bucks and use the data pipes for IM. Take that, evil carrier!

The Ugly:

a) Slow. Oh god, it's so slow.
