Смартфон Nokia E6 — 304 отзывов, плюсы и минусы

Когда я собиралась покупать, я сидела сдесь и смотрела комментарии на эту модель...

Очень классный смартфон!!! Я с удовольствием его куплю, но только когда он подешевеет тысяч так на пять!!! Тем более я планирую это сделать ближе к концу сентября. А то что в камере фулфокус это не проблема. Я смотрела снимки, сделанные с фулфокусом, так они...

Ограничение по кол-ву сообщений почты стало неприятным сюрпризом,...

Из несомненных достоинств хочу выделить сенсорный экран - это как раз то, чего мне не хватало в моей Е71.
Само качество экрана - выше всяких похвал: черный цвет действительно черный, а не темно-серый, плотность пикселей достаточна, чтобы легко читать даже...

я большая поклоница Нокиа))Но последние 3 года были только Самсунги....и вот как то я пошла в Связной что бы купить Самсунг (любой),ну и увидела Нокие Е6,сначала подумала...

Никаких координатных отличий от E71, которая действительно была прорывной,...

Сменил Е63 на этот. Только положительные эмоции практически о всём аппарате. Шустрее на порядок, удобнее. Камера после старикана...

Очень хотелось...

Очень мне не понятно, как можно сравнить старье вроде Е71 и Е6. Все...

неожиданно перестало работать. "бегунок" индикатор зарядки на телефоне двигается, но батарея не заряжается. никаких повреждений не было.

i wish to preface this review by stating i did NOT use this phone with the Symbian Anna OS. i did not want to get used to it and then update to Belle, so i went to Belle straight out of the box. i would also like to point out that as far as some reviewers complained about the phone resetting, that indicates a bad phone which ought to be returned and replaced. My first one did it, too, and Amazon replaced it immediately (that brings up a good point - i see a lot of sellers using the Amazon product description as their own. Be aware that Nokia's ONLY US authorized retailer is Amazon. There might be issues with warranty or even the phone being a US-spec model when you buy from another seller on Amazon). The second phone (and third [i got a second one because i like this phone that much]) one have had no such problems.i will lead with my complaints about this phone so you may believe this is a legitimate review and not an advertisement. The media player is on par with the Nokias of 10+ years ago, if not behind even those. The format is nice, resembling iTunes, but not as good as the E72's player. You can not edit media info tags or adjust the equalizer but between presets. My 6230 (cir 2002) had customizable equalizer settings and this media player does not? The interface is not very intuitive at all, really, but the format support is superb. It will play almost any major format you can think of.The touch screen interface can be a little frustrating because the screen is rather diminuitive and i often accidentally touch it while using the Navi key. It DOES work well, but it takes a little while to dial in your technique.Nokia Store installations are quite slow for some reason, but installs from Nokia Suite are no trouble at all.The factory browser is expectedly cumbersome, but it is a nice compliment to Opera at some times. You will quickly learn which sites prefer which browser.Users of the E72 will miss some features like the card reader that let you copy a business card, driver's license, et cetera into your contacts list, but it is no doubt due to the fact that the E6 uses an EDOF camera sensor which can not do close-up photos. The trade-off is that the pictures are taken at lightning-quick speed. There are NO games on board out of the box, but Nokia has a few to be downloaded via Nokia Store for free, as well as many other apps you might expect to see on the phone as shipped. There is a suite available that includes an AMAZING public transportation navigator, a weather app, a local events/restaurant app and of course, Nokia Maps, which is one of the best features on any Nokia phone, including free maps downloadable via Nokia Suite and free voice nav (in any number of languages and voices).The processor may sound a bit weak at 680MHz, but Symbian OSes do not heavily burden a processor, so it is at least adequate and i have not noticed any lag. The 8GB internal memory is expandable to 40GB with an SDHC Micro card (hot-swappable) and even further expandable using a flash drive and a USB on the go adapter. The phone also has a graphics accelerator and plays up to 720p without any trouble. The display is ASTOUNDING and boasts pixel density on par with iPhone's retina display at 326ppi. The contrast ratio is the best i have ever seen on a phone. The internet speed is pretty fast on an HSPA network and if you use the phone to tether (Joikuspot is factory installed), the speed is blazing fast.Voice operation on this phone is stellar and you can do almost anything short of dictating a text message with it. The phone does support text-to-voice, though, and you can download voice packs from Nokia's website, too. Voice dialing is easy with speaker-independent voice recognition and the phone has had no trouble understanding me.The phone itself is the nicest phone i have ever held in terms of build quality and finish. It really feels like top-shelf equipment and nicely blurs the line between the E series and the N series phones. The phone call quality is astonishing and is hands-down the clearest call quality i have experienced on a cell OR a land line.i think this phone is a perfect compliment to an E71/72, as the pair can do pretty much all a business user needs. Paired to an N8? Nice

So, i'm going to start by saying that i'm pretty much a cellphone enthusiast. I've owned the Samsung U900, Nokia E71 in grey then in black, Nokia E72, HTC HD, numerous iPhones (3G, 3GS16GB, 3GS32, 4G), Nokia N97, Nokia E90, Samsung Galaxy, Nokia C7, Blackberry Torch and right now i am using the Blackberry Bold 9900 along with this Nokia E6!Like many have said before, this is the new generation of the series that really made an impression on Nokia users: the E71 and E72. They were great phones and I had a HUGE expectation for this E6! I definitely was hesitating between the E6 and E7. After all the issues i had heard about regarding the N8, i ended up going with the E6.Now, I have been using the E6 for about 2 weeks now and i'm sorry to say that i am a bit disappointed in it. I was expecting so much more from this phone but it just ended up being a simple phone with many glitches and issues. Of course i have been going from a high end Samsung Galaxy phone which was preceded by an iPhone 4 so my judgment might be impaired but i still believe that the Nokia brand should come with the functionality and excellence other manufacturers can provide. And as i have been mostly disappointed so far with this phone, here is, to begin, the list of CONS:CONS:- The Phone is VERY slow! -- I understand that it's a phone but come on, this phone Hangs when multitasking, and i mean A LOT! i'm often found having to wait a few seconds (from 15 to 30 secs) for the phone to respond. --- The Phone has VERY limited amounts of software available for it: I've searched the OVI store (when i could access it, see below) which is in my opinion a sad excuse of an application market and i have to say that i am very very disappointed in the range available for the Phone.- The OVI Store is completely USELESS! -- I have gone on the store only three times successfully. The rest of the time, either i cannot connect to it on the phone, or it just loads for ever. When i go online, of course, i cannot download to my PC to install on my cellphone, i have to send an SMS to my phone with the app link which i cannot retrieve because i OBVIOUSLY have to launch the OVI Store Application which doesn't want to work!- Skype: cannot take advantage of the video camera on the phone to make video skype calls.Okay, i admit, this is a bit of a stretch to blame the manufacturer for a third party software, BUT STILL! My Galaxy could do it :)- The Keyboard is not what I expected: It is nice and usable but i feel like they made the keys too soft. If i recall correctly, when i used the E71 and E72 i KNEW when i pressed a key, now i have to make sure i pressed it once in a while, or i have to make sure i haven't pressed two keys by mistake because i can't tell if i did just by the feeling of typing.- The directional Pad is fine, but annoying as the "Up" key will often let me touch the screen which responds to touch and mess up whatever i'm trying to do on my phone. And mind me, my fingers aren't huge, hard and clumsy.- The Touch screen is... Very responsive, couple that with very small icons and User Interface and you got a nightmare! I mean seriously, make at least the listing of options bigger Nokia! So now i barely use the touch screen.- No Yes and No keyboard Keys (the keys above the call and hang up ones). Which means that you have to use the touch screen directly. Not very cool because i'm always stressed i'm going to touch something wrong.- The USB port: Not much to say except that the cover flap is very annoying to me to open. I mean, it's aesthetically nice, but i have to use my small finger nail to get the gap to pull the cover open each time and i'm always scared i'm going to scratch the phone.- And my last disappointment, NO POUCH IN THE BOX!!! I mean yeah i am being a bit difficult now but they got us used to being treated nicely with the E71 and E72 so why the change now Nokia? :'(OKAY! That is a huge list of CONS! like i said, i'm not very happy with the phone and i think they could have dramatically done much better then that and i wouldn't have minded throwing in an extra few bucks but anyway, he comes the PROS:PROS:- The Phone is very pretty and looks quite slick in black.- The Camera is amazing in my opinion, it delivers very nice pictures and for the price i paid for this phone i am seriously happy with the camera! And even night time pictures give you a nice final product!- The image on the screen is very pretty and i have to say the original wallpapers look good enough for me not to feel like i should change it.- The phone was quite simple to setup at reception and i didn't have any issues synchronizing my contacts, memos, photos, and other with it.- The Phone switches nicely and easily between WiFi and GPRS/EDGE/3G.- Nice independent slide key on the side to lock the phone.- The phone is shortcut friendly and you don't have to go miles to find the applications you want. I have to say though that the home screen is a bit of a rip-off from the Andro

I have owned Nokia Symbian smartphones since the 6682, and in the E-series, I have owned the E71 and E72. I loved both the E71 and E72 phones, and I had very high expectations for their successor. Many of my expectations were met, but the phone has several serious issues that prevented me from giving a higher rating.Form Factor & Build - 10/10- Nokia really did their homework when putting together this phone. Symbian Anna is a nice evolution for a hybrid hard key and touch interface. I was skeptical at first, but I'm now seamlessly using both.- The phone feels very solid, and it feels a little stronger in my hands than even the E71. It is certainly sturdier than the E72.Battery Life - 10/10- Battery life is fantastic. As with previous E-series phones, this phone was designed to go the distance.- The battery is proportionately large and makes up more than half the width of the phone. I think that it was a good move on Nokia's part to get the extra hours and is a definite advantage over most touch screen phones. As they were still able to keep the phone small, I would say it was worth putting in the larger battery.Keyboard - 6/10The Good: - I am a hardware keyboard addict, and I loath the cell phone industry's move to all-touch phones. - In terms of feel, the E6 has another solid portrait layout keyboard from Nokia.The Bad: - I can't believe they put the apostrophe as a function access on the `L.' I would much rather have a thinner spacebar if I could still have a functional apostrophe - no question. Though not as important as the apostrophe, the double quote and parentheses were relegated to function accessed keys as well. - The `Ctrl' key now has its own, coveted bottom row position, but what's the point? The entire user guide only mentions it once, and it is supposed to help with copy and paste functionality. I didn't even remember that my E72 had this key (it was a secondary function to the `silent mode' shortcut - something foolishly done away with in the E6). - The E6 has slightly raised keys, but Nokia got rid of the domed keys from the E72 which I preferred for typing speed. - The keyboard backlight has taken a step back from previous models. By default, the backlight won't turn on in seemingly random situations and never turns on when entering the lock code - even in pitch black darkness. When I first drafted this review, I gave the keyboard a 3/10. After lots of digging and playing with settings, I found that the keyboard backlight is controlled by Menu>Settings>Phone>Display>Brightness. If you turn the brightness setting above 50%, the keyboard and screen backlights work 10x better, and the keyboard backlight is on when typing the lock code!Screen - 9/10- The screen is beautifully detailed, the color appears accurate, and the black levels are very good.- The touch interface is remarkably good. I have found it to be one of the more accurate touch screens I have used, and multitouch gestures work consistently.- I had to mark it down slightly because the default backlight setting is much too dim and gets even dimmer when the sensor deems it appropriate. The screen is beautiful when the backlight is well-illuminated, but it's hard to read when it's often too dim at the default setting.- I immediately deactivated the touchscreen vibrations as they felt cheap and were noisy.Notifications - 5/10- I really miss the `breathing light' from the previous two phones. This made the phone brilliantly easy to watch for the status of emails, sms, and calls even when the phone had to be completely silent during a meeting. There is a menu setting to enable the breathing light (off by default), but it seems to have respiratory problems as it is dim and hard to view off-axis.- I have not had any problems with the vibration as reported by other users. Symbian tailors vibrations to match audio tones even when the tones are turned off, and they might just need to make a tweak to get it working properly again.- The charging light is annoying, bright, and cannot be turned off in the settings menus. I have to cover my phone when I place it on my nightstand.- Email notifications are abysmal - More on this later.Sensors - 8/10GPS: Seems to work well as in previous models and is able to quickly lock on a signal.Electronic Compass: This is a pretty slick new feature, but it seems to be a little off. I have retried the built-in calibration every way I can think, and it still seems to be about 10degrees off. It also doesn't notice if I turn the phone 180degrees.Accelerometer: I haven't found many practical uses for this feature on the Symbian Anna phone, and I quickly disabled the feature to deny calls or turn off my alarm by `turning' the phone. This seems like a recipe for missing calls and oversleeping, and I'm surprised it is enabled by default without warning the user.Camera - 6/10- I would rather have fewer megapixels in exchange for better picture quality, and unfortunately Nokia decided to pa

Ok... a little background. First I always owned a Nokia in my life and I wanted a Nokia smartphone. First because above all I wanted the machine to be a good phone for receiving/accepting calls and I believe that no one can beat the voice/phone quality of Nokia. Second, I like the idea of maps offline. I am one of those guys who uses the traditional maps in his trips, but I have to admit that occasionally I was wondering why I didn't have a machine telling me the stuff around me and guiding me in specific address in very small towns that my maps will fail.Previous phone: Nokia E61... I know!!! After that came the E61i/E61/E62/E63/E71/E72/E73/E5/E7 and probably many more that I am missing. So you can imagine that the upgrade for me was like 10 phone generations.From those two facts: owning a Nokia my whole life and coming from a 5 year old phone, you know I am not going to do comparisons with iPhone, Android phones, Windows phones, Blackberry phones. No comparison. I have seen my friends using other phones and occasionally played around with them but I have no real experience with them, in order to judge them.I have the phone for a week. First impression. Good form factor. Nice that has the combination of a qwerty keyboard and a touchscreen. Nice looking phone, which looks ugly after two days of using it with all the dust and all the fingerprints it accumulates :))What I tried:1) Talked on the phone. The voice quality is clear with the headset on and with the loudspeaker. When on ear/normal mode the phone need to be at a specific position otherwise the others can't hear very well (you hear them decently).2) Download apps. I found a lot to download. But I downloaded mainly basic stuff. Like opera for browser (Although I found the current browser very good but not as good as the opera one.)... A couple of games and a couple of other apps that just work fine. There is this occasional lag when you download something large, but generally it was a flawless procedure. (and I can survive the 2-3 seconds freeze)3) Surf the web. As I said either with opera or its own browser the experience is simple and good.4) Use it as a GPS. Flawless (Almost). Good clear guidance. Found the nearest gas station. Found a hotel for me. But it drained the battery. I mean 2 hours of navigation and my phone was running low on battery! (but it was on the second day after charging it)5) Battery. No complaints. I can take at least 2 days if I do not use the GPS constantly. I use the wi-fi a lot though.6) Wi-fi. Flawless experience connecting to any wi-fi network I tried.7) Headset. Excellent.8) FM radio. Very good and clear reception.9) Security software. I register it for the 30-day trial and it works silently on the background. Don't even feel it.10) Messaging. Nice!! I like the threaded view a lot.11) Keyboard. Smooth. The keys are the right size for my hands. You can easily type with one hand (something you can't do with Nokia E7)12) Touchscreen. Responsive. The only problem is that some things are just too small due to the small screen and you have to touch a couple of times at neighboring spots before hitting the one you actually want.13) Synchronization with Nokia website. Smooth14) Photo camera: I have a professional one but I tried it out of curiosity. It took some nice ones. I used the photo editing app that comes with it and I was surprised with it. It gives you a lot of options and it is easier to do some stuff than in photoshop (ok ok just kidding - but it is still simple and easy to use). I even put a couple of photographs on my phone book on my contacts.15) Calendar. Simple to put entries. Simple to read. I do not expect something more from a calendarWhat I haven't use:Email client. I always use web clients to check emails (even on my computer) so having a nice browser and visit hotmail or gmail or my university website is enough for me. I don't think I am going to use it, so I am not worrying a lot from reviews complaining about the client.Multiple screens. I didn't have time to play around to do stuff on the different screens but at some point later I will doVideo: I do not know why. Just didn't happen.Probably anything I am forgetting and I am not listing above.Note: I also bought the "Amzer AMZ91881 Silicone Skin Jelly Case for Nokia E6-00" case which protected it very well on the first drop it had.I haven't bought a Micro SD card or a screen protector yet.Overall, it serves me pretty well. Based on the (price/what you get) I will give it a 5 star. If price was not accounted for I would say 4 stars.I will update it as I use more and more features. Also I appreciate any comments/suggestions for useful apps to download.

Website link [...]Photos are available on the website!Officially fixing up the Nokia E6 hardware: d-pad light, screen dustPublished by Steve Litchfield at 11:39 UTC, October 3rd 2012Nokia E6 Communicator owners have had two crosses to bear on the hardware front since the device first appeared. OK, three if you count the use of an EDoF camera, but let's not go there again....! Firstly, the TFT screen and somewhat defective screen seal meant that copious amounts of dust would get attracted in and then just sit there, mockingly, under the Gorilla Glass. And secondly and more functionally, the d-pad was completely opaque, meaning that the 'breathing/notifications' LED could only shine dimly around the d-pad edges. I set out to my local Nokia Care Point, determined to get both issues addressed...Firstly, here's the scale of the problem. This was my Nokia E6's screen when powered off this morning. It's true that you don't really notice the dust when the screen's lit up, but the presence of it when off really detracts from the idea of the E6 as a premium product:Here's the other issue, the old-style d-pad with notifications LED lit up. How on earth did this one slip past the Q&A team at Nokia?Thankfully, both are known issues and my local Nokia Care Point (see below for link) was on top of them. Warranty on the E6 is a full two years, so there were no issues with my device being just over a year old.Nokia's solution to the d-pad issue is simply to issue a replacement panel, as shown below, with a translucent ring that lets plenty of the underlying LED light through: view link above.At the same time, I had the Care Point replace the screen, complete (presumably) with new and more resilient seal around the TFT display. The result: one immaculate and thankfully dust-free E6 screen:It remains to be seen whether the dust problem will come back, but I'm optimistic that the screen seal has been redesigned since early E6 batches and that I'll be OK...One thing which I'm often asked about is where to find really good Nokia Care Points, who know what they're doing and are quick and polite. Feel free to leave your suggestions of good places to go that are local to you, but the above care was done in 30 minutes flat, while I took a stroll, by Town & Country in Sandhurst (so serving Berkshire and Hampshire) - highly, highly recommended and they've never once let me down.//Buyer's personal note from web research;There is a fix for the notification lighting without sending back handset it is a free or paid version app called Remindme available at the Ovi/ Nokia store.View video at this link for view on how it works, [...]

So I basically buy a phone a month. Androids, lg's, samsungs, every nokia (except the n8 and n9 - no keyboards) and I keep praying that one will be the one. This e6 is it so far, even with the most serious Nokia problem ever.why? because so many other things have been fixed - but not all.I will try to list all issues with e6 especially as compared to older e72, e63, n97, n97mini, e7, astound (c7)This e6 does have Anna from factory. Only 8gb of internal mem. SDhc slot. Ultra fast boot up, screen shows main screen in about 10 seconds, tho it does continue to load more in background such as bluetooth and wireless (wifi) connection. Very handy since you will experience random reboots (biggest problem ever! with any nokia!) Reboots happen most often when using the gps and phone is not mounted in a shockproof mount!Dont mistake the shockproof mount as the quality of the phone is superb as usual for nokia. This phone is by far the most useful phone ever made; especially from nokia.Main reasons this phone is the most useful:Speed - menus are almost instant!Change screens -instant!Email eyecandy is finally tolerable!menu key is instant! Stupid bug if you don't properly complete the factory setup questions, gives error everytime you start it complaining it cant find setup wizard which just dissappears quickly.Best parts of this phone:FASTNot windows, not ios, not android!Has almost all the google software as separate apps like maps and email!! Awesome.independent browser! Works awesome! (minus the pinch to zoom, which I hate. The volume controls do not operate the zoom-lame.)More space to hold phone at bottom beneath keyboard!directional nav key!No optical thumb dumb thingy as 'new' phones use - so no headaches in useability!Full capacitive touch screen which adds ultimate in efficient and speedy usability!nearly all touch buttons are intelligently sized and positioned!Full 3.5g speeds! (10mbs approx!)Tmobile full support, with free internet programability! No high speed data 'tax' (ie blackberry plan etc)Yes, I have it on my phoneweb plan for $10!Awesome nokia browservery very good email program including full mail for exchange imap support (but only one mail for exchange acct : with speed keys for navigation!Intelligent contact manager AND calendar - fast very efficient and most useful as compared to any 'new' smartphone!Very intelligent navigation - when done in one app such as looking at a calendar event by pressing calendar key inside of contacts, it will take you back to where you were - in the contact! AWESOMEvery bright dual leds for flash and flashlight.Full keyboard, but space bar removes some needed keys as it is too wide! E72 keyboard was much better.Main problems with this phone:Random reboots when in motion outside of fixed location when driving, biking etc) mainly when using gps/music, but does happen with nothing other than mail for exchange / email on homescreensCAMERA SUCKS for important pics! IT is fast, but there is NO Auto Focus! the N97 cameras kill this P.o.s.tight camera lock slide, grinds plastic after several days of constant use.phone auto locks after phone call is disconnected even if you are in the middle of typing a calendar event/contact etc (retarded)Phone still beeps annoyingly when other end of call hangs up before you do, I have been told over and over again that this is because of tmobile, um but this is an unlocked phone right ? so where is the setting??? Nokia? Do you ever listen??? No. Cause you are so awesome with your $6 stock price right?Go Stephan Elop! (nokia ceo)Bottom line:Best Business phone EVER. So incredibly sad that I have to plan on it rebooting while driving. Good thing it reboots in 10 seconds, almost fully in 15 seconds! (almost like they knew it has to reboot fast) haha

Had this baby for 2 weeks now and it is great, highly recommended if you like this kind of form factor. I've had (touch wood) none of the software problems other posters have listed such as random reboots or freezes, but I keep 3rd party apps to a minimum, so maybe that's got a lot to do with it. Love it so far. Here are some pros and cons:PROS:-- amazing battery life. With light-moderate use this lasts over 3 days. Really.-- keyboard is a dream to type on. I've used BBs in the past, this is nicer. Much nicer.-- Screen is bright and clear. The pixels per inch are equal to Iphone 4, so you can imagine how great pics look on this. Sure it's a smaller screen, but the density is just superb.-- preloaded apps are good, especially Nokia Maps. Maps can be searched and used OFFLINE, so if you're in the subway train or even a different country and data is either non-available or very expensive, you can still use the amazing Maps app for free. Indispensable. Quickoffice is great too.-- Call quality is second to none, but then again, this is a Nokia.-- The combo of qwerty + touchscreen is just perfect, very easy to use and very enjoyable too.-- 2 option to charge, either 2mm old school plug or new micro USB plug.-- on-the-go usb option to use a usb stick to transfer files.-- small, sleek, lightweight and screen is Gorilla Glass, so scratch resistant and very clear.-- Symbian Anna is much better than Symbian^3, it's quicker and snappier and has a few improved features. Symbian Belle will be available for the E6 soon too, improving the UI even more - can't wait for that!CONS:-- apps are not in abundance. The Nokia Store (was Ovi) has fewer apps than their other phones because of the different screen size of the E6. You can get Angry Birds Rio, but not Seasons. You can't get OpenTable. The ones that are available are a bit naff. Hopefully this will change soon.-- email can be a bit choppy. Yahoo simply refuses to refresh sometimes, then it will cascade emails from 2 days ago and overwhelm you. Mail for Exchange is much better though.-- notifications are poor. The led light around the D-pad is so dim it might as well not be there, and the onscreen notifications are zero in standby. Nokia Sleeping Screen (excellent on the N8 and E7) is incompatible with this type of screen so you're stuck with a plain, black screen all the time. If you press the d-pad button you get a 'screensaver' with clock and missed calls and texts, but it's annoying not to be able to glance at the phone and see if anything has been missed. This is by far the E6's biggest let down.-- camera is not auto-focus, so while it takes excellent shots outdoors or with good light, no close ups. None. It's just a blurry mess.Overall:An absolutely wonderful phone to use for typing texts/emails/documents and the battery life is great. It's thin and light and looks great with the silicone case that Nokia make, the CC-1016 - don't get a cheap 3rd party one, the official Nokia ones fit their phones SO much better.Highly recommended if you are not a touchscreen-only person. Thumbs up!***** UPDATE! 11/3/2011: I've been in contact with a Nokia employee who says Nokia are aware of the D-Pad light problem, and soon they will offer to change it out in Nokia Care Centers around the US for free, as long as the E6 is within warranty. Could be good. Still loving the E6!

I've been on the smartphone band wagon from the beginning. I have used devices from every platform, and I have a high bar for satisfaction. The Nokia E6 does not completely satisfy me, but it does what I need and does it well.I really became tired of toys posing as phones. How many of you are sick of smart phones which fail the basic premise of being a phone? I know I am and that's what brought me back to Nokia. Simply put, Nokia makes the best phones.There's a myriad of criticisms I could throw at Nokia, more specifically Symbian. But despite it's short comings, it still manages to offer a compelling device in the E6. Any criticisms you read about the E6's email handling are absolutely true. It's rubbish. However, I have found ProfiMail which brings the power of desktop email clients to the mobile platform better than anything else. Its UI is questionable, but it's an excellent email client. I've never seen a client that handles IMAP boxes this well with incredibly fast and accurate searching. So if you're considering the E6 just go ahead and factor in the $24.99 to include ProfiMail in the price.Beyond that, all I have to say is VoIP. The E6 is a powerful SIP/VoIP device. This along with it's penta-band antennae/tuner make this an invaluable tool for the globe trotters out there. It's kinda painful to set up, but once you do you can have nearly free VoIP international calling in your hands.The other "amazing" aspect of this device is the battery life. With moderate use I need to charge my phone once every 3 days. Now you can carelessly install/configure software to suck your battery dry, but if you're conservative with the configuration you can have quick access to data intense applications and "amazing" battery life. I say "amazing" because the current standard for smartphones these days seems to be around 12 hours of moderate usage.Additionally, the bluetooth stack on this device is so much more advanced than anything out there. It's Bluetooth 3.0 and supports these profiles: A2DP, AVRCP, BIP, DUN, FTP, GAP, GAVDP, GOEP, HFP, HSP, OPP, PBAP, SAP, SDP, SPP. It's the only phone I've had that I could get to work with AcuraLink (Acura's in car messaging system). I know some others have mentioned issues with Bluetooth on this device, but my experience has been flawless.I have had problems with the E6, but they are on par with problems I've had with every single smartphone I've ever used (more than 30 different devices). The software is not perfect. It will occasionally lock up. You will have to reboot the device when this happens. I recommend being judicious with 3rd party software as this seems to be the root of most of those type of woes.Overall I'm considering purchasing a backup E6 to have when this device is lost/damaged/worn out. That's how much I'm appreciating this phone. I would also like to hedge my bets on Nokia's brain dead corporate direction in moving to the Windows mobile platform (Did the CEO even look at the amazing N9 before canning it?). If you keep your expectations reasonable and really want a smartphone that excels at being a phone, then you really can't go wrong with the E6.

This is a really nice phone. I sometimes miss my E71 but I am falling in love with this phone. I love the touch screen. I makes the phone feel modern and in touch with current standard but still feel more like a core phone and not a media device. I am a very practical business person, All i need a phone to do is to make and receive calls that's the primary function of a phone. Texting has improved on this phone it has a nice feel to use. The navigation has improve and the GPS picks up much faster. Thanks Nokia for this improvement very useful when I travel worldwide. Oh the phone can be used anywhere I love that too. Much much faster internet too. Pinch and zoom is nice, proud to use my phone next to those other guys.Cons. Sometimes the screen is too sensitive, the slightest touch and you may end up doing something not intended. I really really hate the fact that the notification light is useless. This is the only thing that makes me want to go back to the E71. This is a messaging phone what is the point if you can not see if you have a message or be notified.If there is a solution to turn down the sensitivity and fix the notification issue, then I would not need another phone for the ten years. This is a solidly built constructed phone and has every thing you really need. I often throw my E72 and E6 this phone on the ground and ask my other friends with their "Iwhatever" and their "Samswhatever" to do the same. you should see them shake. hahahaah. Well done Nokia.If you need a good phone, look no further. Oh stick with the Anna OS do not upgrade.

I recieved my Nokia E6 four months ago and this is by far the best phone i ever purchased.Pros:-Battery life: like no other smartphone i've used before, i use this phone for emailing, facebooking, browsing the internet, listening to music, texting, calling, video recording, voice recording etc and the battery lasts up to 12 hours under heavy usage, on lighter days where i just text and listen music it lasts for about 2 days-Voice clarity: persons no longer complain about not hearing me properly now with this Active Noise Cancelling mic on this phone, it really works wonders for phone calls-Form Factor: the size and shape of the phone is a plus for anyone seeking a phone that's not too big nor too small, perfect for my big hands and it really intimidates the bb users i know :)-Camera: takes great pictures, no complains, (close up pictures won't be of great quality) and records video is true HD quality-Keyboard: close to perfection, i scarcely make mistakes even with my 'huge' fingers plus i type very fast on this-Home Screens: keeps me away from the menu since i can have everything i need by just switching home screens-Calender & Notes: keeps me very organized and prevents me from forgetting things i usually would since i have my to-do list constantly reminding me.-Videos: this rich display allows me to see videos in extremely good quality and the phone supports more video formats than phones i've used before so this saves me having to convert certain videos-WIFI: stays connected, very good range, and download speeds up to 200+ kbps-USB on the go: a definite plus, no need to plug your flash drive into the pc then transfer files to the phone-Text Messaging: the 'conversations' feature really organizes your messages and helps you keep up with previous text messages-Opera Mobile: a must have on this phone, should come as the default browserCons:-Charging: whenever trying to use the phone while it's charging (using the charger) it stops then starts back 'several' times: this is an indication that the charging port is slack (i just put the phone flat and use it to prevent this problem)-Fingerprints: i'm using the phone without a screen protector and it leaves traces of all fingerprints (i have some screen protectors on the way, that should fix the problem)-E-mail: 'sometimes' there is a lag in retrieving mails but this varies, when you're using a data plan to using wifi, wifi has faster and better retrieval timesAll in all, i highly recommend Nokia on any given day and to anyone looking for the best selection of phones out there. Same thing applies to the Nokia E6: Buy It!

My daughter has had a Nokia E71 for ages, and when her third one finally broke she wanted to buy another one but they were no longer available. She has never been much for apps but instead uses her phone mainly for texting and maybe a quick web search now and then. She wanted a phone that was not like everyone else's (no iphone); had a good physical keyboard and was not too big. At the price, this was the perfect phone for her. It's quite inexpensive for an unlocked phone, looks nice has a good quality build, and as a pentaband phone works well with T-Mobiles strange US 3G frequencies and can also be used almost anywhere in the world. Having a decent turn by turn Maps app. that allows you to download almost any country in the world and use it without needing to use external data is also a huge plus that will save you an incredible amount of money if you travel outside the US. Like any Nokia Symbian phone at this point in time, this is not the unit to get if you're counting on having new apps or features (Symbian is on a death watch and the Nokia App. Store is a sad place) and the screen size is small (although very clear). Although Symbian is actually quite an amazing OS, even with updates it is nowhere as user friendly as Android or iOS. However, if you want a classy business type phone that is quite rare in the States and that has a qwerty keyboard type form factor this is one of the few choices left at a really good price.

Pros:Battery LifeSmooth exteriorPicture qualityPicture editing optionsVideo editing optionsCons:Screen sizeSmall keyboard keysInternet speedPhone freezes constantlyCamera flash noticeably weaker as lighting dropsPhone memoryIf you have big fingers, this phone is not for you.I have never had a phone with 3.5G network, but I am assuming this is one of the querks to having an unlocked phone.This is my first Nokia phone.It comes with too many apps that take up about a half of the phone memory along with the necessary phone software.If you cannot remove the apps yourself then I suggest getting a memory card, especially if you plan on uploading hundreds of songs.Amazon sells sandisk memory cards $4 and up depending on the memory size you want.If you are a fast texter then this is not the phone for you because it freezes as you pick up your texting speed.It cannot handle more than two applications being open at the same time without freezing.It takes 1/2 minutes for the screens to load up before you can text without the phone freezing.If you leave the phone alone it will turn off after 10+ hours.I had no issues with the call reception and the speaker phone was great. The phone volume is not bad when playing music and I would prefer that the phone volume for calls had a higher limit.I NEVER USED THIS PHONE'S VIDEO CALLING FEATURE AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE FRONT CAMERA.THE CALL RECEPTION, SPEAKER PHONE, AND PHONE VOLUME IS MUCH BETTER THAN THAT OF THE HTC RADAR 4G.OVERALL, I REALLY LIKED THIS PHONE. IN FACT IT WAS BETTER THAN THE HTC RADAR 4G (WINDOWS PHONE) AND THE SAMSUNG SGHi97 (unlocked verson of this WINDOWS PHONE). SOME OF THIS INFORMATION ALL DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH YOU USE THE PHONE.FYI UNLOCKED WINDOWS PHONE ARE NOT A GOOD IDEA!

I'm not entirely sure where to begin. I've never left a review before so bear with me.I only need two simple things from a phone, battery life and reception. That's all. I don't need the internet. I don't need Twitter or Facebook. In a world where smartphones are ever on the rise, I suppose I must be an oddity. Now, I'll admit, the need for a full QWERTY keyboard is a recent one. I've managed, up until a few years ago, to never send a text and I'm well into my late thirties. I've never really seen the use of it all, myself. One leads to another and another when all it would have taken is a simple two minute phone call. Of course, that was all before I got my current job and low and behold I was reborn a texter. I really do hope my boss is proud of herself.Still, regardless of the new changes, some things remain a constant necessity. Phones are first and foremost for making calls. As I don't need the internet, Nokia has always been my go to company. Why buy a smartphone when it's not needed? This is my fifth phone with Nokia and I'm afraid to say that it will likely be my last. Before I get to the simple whys, however, I wish to contradict myself for a moment. This is a marvelous device. The build quality is superb. You can tell Nokia put a great deal of time with the building of the E6. The sturdy metal frame and the Gorilla Glass are testaments to that. And while some may groan and complain about Symbian being outdated, to me it is still a reliable and dependable OS.So, why will I be shortly listing this device on ebay you ask? I have two simple words for you, call quality. Notice I don't say reception. Nokia still holds the reigns in that department in my humble opinion. And, in battery life too while we're on the subject. I always got at least two days out my device and that was with heavy talking and texting. But, since the purchase of this phone, I'm consistently asked to repeat myself, often told that I'm difficult to hear and understand. These complaints have vanished recently as I've sadly moved, temporarily, to a Blackberry Bold. As I am on the front line for my company, often being it's only face for our customers, this is unacceptable.Sadly, Nokia, I regret that we must part ways. I hope you're able to turn things around for yourselves as, in my eyes, you're still the best.A disappointed customer

Well I need BATTERY LIFE and this guy has it. There is an up date that make it more "nice" but the original OS is pretty usable. It has all I need from a phone, VERY GOOD GPS (A), google maps, youtube, FB, very nice camera (fixed focus but 8 MP double flash so, B+), lots of tools, all functions of $500 dls touch ones, but to get more battery life you have to sacrifice screen size. If youre crazy about Iphones dont even look at it, if you like to feel the keys, this is very usable phone, touch creen and keyboard are in a good coordination most of the time, I can do all I need and I need a lot from my cellphone. Not perfect, and not the tons of apps for droids or Mac but there are some good ones, and something important for me this guy will last looooong, already went true couple of bad experiences with the gavel and cement floor and not a single sign of it (use simple silicon case) I think Nokia still makes the best hardware for phones. Compared with my previous black berry I like this one better.Summary good phone if you need bigger get a tablet... if you want nice "easy to use" get iphone, if you has lots of money get a Galaxy III....

I will not add too much about the other smartphone aspects of this phone that have been reviewed already. I bought this Nokia E6 as a backup to my work-issued iPhone 4s (I do lots of intra-state travel) and have been truly surprised that this Nokia E6 had such outstanding call signal and quality when I used it while riding in the CA-BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit), in our office building's below-ground store room, in elevators, and even got 70% signal when I drove thru the San Simeon mountains last week. All throughout these test experiences, my iPhone 4s's (whenever I used it) signal went on and off and drifted out then came back, and the maxiumum signal it achieved was 20%. My girlfriend's Motorola Droid Razr Maxx during that mountain drive fared even worse at 10% signal. As far as the construction on this phone, no complaints, and is as solid, rugged, and `handsome' as my old Nokia E71 (my old back-up phone) Nokia E71 Unlocked Phone with 3.2 MP Camera, 3G, Media Player, GPS Navigation, Free Voice Navigation, Wi-Fi, and MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Gray). It's got metal mostly and Gorilla Glass. Battery life: I get about 4.5 days using it for calls (at least two hours daily), text messaging (around 20/day), and occasional wifi (about 30 minutes daily). My Nokia E6 is still using Symbian Anna since I am hesitant to update it to Symbian Belle with its reported issues but I may be forced to update it if rumors turn out true that the Nokia E6 will soon be allowed an update that will include Mobile Microsoft Office Apps (OneNote, Lync 2010 Mobile, PowerPoint Broadcast, and Document Connection)! Knowing how strong-performing this phone is and that it continues to be improved thru updates makes me feel good about my Nokia E6 purchase.

I bought this phone to replace my QWERTY slide-style Android phone. Having had some experience with Symbian in my N8 I felt confident enough with the OS to try it out as my messaging/email phone.-love the build quality. Solid, obviously well made.-the screen is very bright and very sharp, if a bit small.-battery life is superb. Just be aware some apps like CNN require a GPS lock; if one is in a massive building blocking signal then you will want to close the app to save battery.-gmail is a bit spotty on updating. Sometimes one has to refresh, unlike BB or Android.-the EDOF camera is actually very very good. One cannot do macro but it is fast to use; a streetshooters dream really. Especially for night shots where all phone autofocus stumbles.-the flash/light is stunningly good.-the browser is functional, not up to par with the latest from IOS or Android but useable enough that I removed Opera after 2 days.-Antenna/connectivity is excellent. Love the Pentaband-Voice quality is excellent, no dropped calls.As postscript my notes apply to Belle, I updated immediately and never got a chance to use the device on Anna.If you need a sold, reliable and lovely QWERTY phone and do not mind a learning curve it is really a lovely device.Edit; I recently had a chance to test the reception and battery life during an emergency trip to the Hospital. The little Nokia managed to get 1-2 bars of edge in areas where my Android phone got an 'x'. I was able to keep in touch with family and friends updating them by text and voice while doing research on the web. Not one dropped call. In the end after 12 hours or so of extremely heavy use I got home with 28% remaining on the battery. It had been off the charger 6 hours already before going to the Hospital!

I love this phone! I enjoy the Symbian platform despite its reluctance to work speedily 100% of the time. Its automatically updating widgets are a great way to see e-mail, social updates and the like. It has a good quality camera with flash, the only issues with it are: close-up images and the shutter sound. Because it is fixed-focus, close-up images are completely blurry. Also, I haven't figured out a way (and have read that there isn't one) to turn the shutter sound off, even on silent mode.Another issue that annoyed me is the lack of details in the call log. Numbers are never repeated. So if someone called you 50x in a row, it will only show the last time that they called. This is really strange and annoying because previous versions of Nokia phones have had more detailed call logs without this deficiency.Everything else I have been quite pleased with. Having the buttons and a touch screen is the ideal combination for an avid texter like I am. The touch screen offers simplicity while the buttons offer preciseness. The home pages are also almost completely customizable with different shortcuts, widgets and backgrounds. Unlike iPhones, where they all look the same (yes, I had one for over a year), this phone practically screams "me". Also, the GPS works without data, so if you're traveling abroad or don't have a data plan, you can still find your way around. ALSO, pictures are sent the old-school way and don't need data unlike other smartphones (samsung, blackberry, iPhone).Maybe I am just a hard-core Nokia fan, but I have had this phone for about a month now and am as ecstatic today as I was the first day I got it. :)

Let start with basics:1. Battery life is unbeatable: Heavy calling (including SIP over 3G and WiFi, mostly bluetooth headset), e-mail, web , GPS, online radio and I'd like to top it off with Angry Birds.All above with E6 for 1 day and 1 night and you don't look scared of your shadow thinking? Where's my charger! Note: Activate Power Saving option disables 3G/3.5G, reduces screen brightens continuous e-mail sync with gmail and ability to search though your contacts on the server (in this case gmail contacts). I can't tell how long will battery last with this option activated - I'm guessing longer then required.2. Screen is small but so is the phone and thanks to that fits well everywhere: jeans, sport coat, business suit: Screen is responsive and touchscreen experience is fluid as it should be with 25.8 update3. Contacts! Pure goldmine. Any piece of information can be saved and sorted and accessed. Ability to access your contacts on gmail finally implemented -no workarounds necessary.4. Using phone as hotspot works well. No need for additional charges for privilege of tethering from T-BloodSuckers.5. Multiple VoIP/SIP accounts configurations work well except for the fact that you have to download and install Nokia Symbian^3 SIP VoIP 3.1 separately6. GPS nav and search is trying to compete with google maps and overall experience is great -garim stays @ homeFact that I've never experienced many problem previous reviews point out only speaks volume to the fact how Nokia quality assurance slips and customers feel like beta testers. I lived through E71 (best phone and innovation at the time) than came E72 (some kinda mistake) and here we are with E6 (big relieve and improvement in my productivity department). My home is full of android HTC's and LG's and Samsung G2 so go figure.To summarize this phone works when I need it most with price point that was right for me. Thanks for reading and good luck.

I've been a Nokia fan/user for over a decade. I've owned many Nokia phones, ones I can easily recall owning are 8800, e50, e51, e71. I've been using the e71 since it came out, and it is by far the best phone Nokia has ever made. I'm not sure why it took Nokia 3 years to put a touchscreen on the e71, but one would think that after 3 years, it would be the greatest, most awesome phone, ever. It is not. It isn't even better than the e71. It simply doesn't feel as nice in hand. It doesn't look as good. It just isn't as intuitive and, well, a good all around phone.I've been a long supported of Nokia. I, until recently, genuinely beleived they are still the best phone maker, and that they will come back, etc. They are not, and odds are that they will never come back. They have a CEO who is more concerned with the success of Microsoft WP (it failed when it was first announced) than Nokia. One phone that is generating buzz, Nokia N9, he said it will be the first and last Meego phone. That really works wonders in getting people excited about an upcoming phone. He did the same with Symbian.To sum it up: I will be returning the phone because it has many of the problems other reviewers had mentioned, and most importantly....I am returning it because Nokia e71 is a better phone and I enjoy using it more. I will be using the e71 until I find another qwerty phone that is comparable to it. The new BB 9900 Touch is amazing, the only problem is that I found it to be too wide/big.Word of advice to Nokia....Take Nokia e71. Make the exact same phone with the fastest processor (why does Nokia e6 have such a slow processor compared to its competition!? yet the price is on par) you on the market, put a touchscreen in it and don't do anythign else to it. Everything about that phone is perfect.Nokia, stop being delusional. You are not a market leader anymore. You peaked with Nokia e71. Either make great, quality phones to justify the price tag...or sell this junk (in comparison to e71) for $200.PS. The apostrophe key, as one of the other reviewers had mentioned, has moved and you have to hold the shift key and L for it...Who though that would be a good idea!?This alone would make me return the phone as it slows down typing quite significantly and throws you off rhytm when texting/e-mailing.

I have been a Nokia fan for years. This phone is more like a Blackberry in that is designed for business use rather than personal social media applications. I meets all my business needs. I have owned Nokia phones before and dreaded setting this one up. It turns out it is automatic. Just insert the SIM card, answer a few questions like where in what country and city the phone is going to be used. In a flash the phone configures itself. Then it asks some basic questions about your email service. Again it sets this up quickly as well. Had I known that I would of bought on a year earlier. So if it a business phone you want consider Nokia.
