Nokia E55


Nokia E55 is a mobile phone in the business segment, intended to be compact, yet suitable for writing e-mails and other longer texts on. This is accomplished by a so-called compact QWERTY keyboard with two characters per key. Designwise, the Nokia E55 is almost exactly identical to its twin, the E52, and both phones feature exactly the same specifications. The only difference lies in their keypad layout.

The E55 has 20 keys arranged in the standard QWERTY layout, but because each alphabet is not assigned its own key, typing is achieved either by using the predictive text input (where each key is typed once per word and the software automatically guesses the word you type using an internal dictionary) or using multitap. This form factor is relatively uncommon, with most modern mobile phones employing traditional T9 text entry or a physical or virtual full qwerty keyboard. The Blackberry Pearl range of devices share this keyboard form factor.
The phone was announced on February 16, 2009 during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Nokia E52


The Nokia E52 is a smartphone from the Nokia Eseries range, a Symbian OS v9.3 device with a 240x320 screen. It is available in Black, Black Aluminum, Metal Grey aluminium, White Aluminium and Gold. It comes with a 1GB MicroSD memory card, but it supports MicroSD cards with up to 16GB memory. It also has 60MB free user memory. It is an update to Nokia's successful E51 model. It was released concurrently with E55, which is physically and functionally identical, except for the traditional T9 keypad as opposed to compact QWERTY keypad in E55. Latest firmware version is v052.003 released on the 29th October 2010.

Nokia E51


Nokia E51 is a Symbian OS smartphone by Nokia. It's the second Nokia UMTS / HSDPA dual band mobile. The phone is available with a black, silver or bronze-coloured border and backplate. A version without the integrated camera also exists.
The Nokia E51 is possibly the most attractive E series phone to date, because it is a small, lightweight, candy bar style mobile phone, housing some sophisticated software. It looks quite simple, but it is a really cool phone.

The quality of communications provided by Nokia E51 is simply great - comparable with the latest standards in the field of mobile technology. The sound volume of the polyphonic speaker is loud.

The nokia E50 was the most compact smartphone of those days, hence its high popularity. The balance between the set of features and the price played a major part in its way to the bestseller status. Similarly, the Nokia N51 is today’s most compact and slimmest smartphone available on the market, it now has full Wi-Fi support, a full set of telecom features that are seen as necessary for a modern smartphone and a high quality of build and materials.

Switching to Nokia E51 from the good old E50 is more than justified. The E51 might look slightly bigger and narrower than the E50. But in fact this difference can hardly be felt, the nokia E51 is very comfortable to hold.

Nokia E50


The Nokia E50 Business Device is a bar-style monoblock quad-band smartphone from Nokia announced May 18, 2006[1] as part of the Eseries, intended primarily for the corporate business market. It includes sophisticated e-mail support for Nokia’s Intellisync Wireless Email, BlackBerry Connect, Visto Mobile, Activesync Mail for Exchange, and Altexia, along with the ability to view Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel attachments, and PDF documents but it cannot be used for editing these. Device to device synchronisation is possible with Data transfer application. Features include EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0, a 1,280 × 960 pixels (1.3 megapixel) camera, a MicroSD memory-card slot, and digital music player functionality. This unit does not support UMTS, Wi-Fi, or FM radio.

It uses the third edition of the Series 60 user-interface (S60v3) and the Symbian operating system version 9.1. It is not binary compatible with software compiled for earlier versions of the Symbian operating system.

Nokia C7-00


The Nokia C7-00 is a family of smartphones powered by the all new Symbian platform which brings significant enhancements in speed and ease of use. Among the new smartphones is the Nokia C7. The new Nokia C7 device, which is tightly integrated with enhanced Ovi services and apps, reinforces Nokia's vision of a mobile industry that is increasingly being defined by socially connected, location-based devices and experiences. The Nokia C7 joins the previously announced Nokia N8. Beside the C7, Nokia has also announced the Nokia C6 and Nokia E7 to form a family of Symbian products.

The C7-00 display features a 3.5-inch (89 mm), 640 x 360 pixel capacitive touchscreen. The smartphone was released in Q4, 2010 for €335, excluding taxes and subsidies.

Nokia C7 social networking smartphone 
The Nokia C7 is a beautifully crafted, sleek social networking smartphone. Get live updates from social networks such as Facebook and Twitter and keep track of new email from your Yahoo! or Gmail accounts directly on the homescreen. The Nokia C7 features a 3.5-inch AMOLED display and a stunning combination of stainless steel, glass and soft edges. Estimated retail price is EUR 335, excluding taxes and subsidies.

Nokia C6-01


The Nokia C6-01 is a Symbian^3 smartphone from the Nokia Cseries. The C6-01 display features comes with a 3.2in AMOLED (640 x 360-pixels) display with capacitive touchscreen capabilities and Nokia's ClearBlack technology for improved outdoor visibility. The smartphone is released on November 4, 2010 for €260, excluding taxes and subsidies.
the Nokia C6-01 sort of follows on from the original Nokia C6, but the newer handset lacks the slide-out QWERTY keyboard, although the C6-01 does have an improved operating system and camera. The C6-01 is also a more expensive proposition than the C6, pitched at €260 before tax and subsidy. The existence of two similarly named and similarly specified devices could lead to confusion among customers.
The most prominent feature on the C6-01 is the 3.2" 360 x 640 pixel AMOLED capacitive touchscreen. On the back is an 8 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash and 720p HD video capture, and inside the C6-01 supports 3.5G data and 802.11b/g and n WiFi.

Multimedia support is what you'd expect from a relatively high-end Symbian device, with support for a wide variety of media formats and also an FM radio. Output is via the familiar 3.5mm AV connector that is common on these type of Nokia phones.

GPS is included, and the Nokia C6-01 also supports Ovi Maps Navigation. Other software includes social networking and webmail support, plus a web browser and a wide range of applications that can be downloaded.

The C6-01 has a microSD slot with a 2GB card included in the standard sales package, it also supports Bluetooth 3.0 and USB 2.0 connectivity. A stereo wired headset is included in the box.

The 1050 mAh battery is quoted as giving up to 4.5 hours talktime on 3G and 15.5 days standby time. The Nokia C6-01 weighs 131 grams and measures 104 x 53 x 14mm. It's quite a bit smaller, thinner and lighter than the original C6, and one easy way to tell the handsets apart is that the C6-01 and C6 have a slightly different button arrangement on the front.
This looks like a very capable touchscreen phone, and the improved Symbian^3 operating system and relatively high resolution display should make it an attractive proposition.

Nokia C6-00


The Nokia C6-00 is a smartphone and portable entertainment handheld cellular device by Finnish communications company Nokia, running the Symbian^1 operating system. It was announced on April 13, 2010. It is the third Nokia Symbian^1 smartphone featuring a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Its software and hardware specifications resemble the N97 mini in most ways. One of the differences is that the sliding in this phone is flat, unlike the upward angled in the N97 mini, hence allowing a four row QWERTY keypad, bringing a slightly enhanced typing experience to the table.[4] The phone has a 5 megapixel camera, though unlike the N97 mini, it does not have Carl Zeiss optics.[4] It also has a secondary camera in front for video calls. The Nokia C6-01 is the successor to the C6-00 featuring a major step-up with the new Symbian^3 operating system, Ovi Maps 3.0 and such.
All application and games for similar handsets like the N97, the N97 Mini, the 5800 Xpressmusic, and the 5230 will be compatible with this handset.

Cnet UK wrote that 'The C6 suffers from the worst excesses of the N97's software, without the saving grace of its solid hardware, resulting in a phone that's disappointing at any price. Cnet Asia wrote that though the user interface is slow and outdated. However, they like the improved connectivity features, free real-time navigation with Ovi Maps and the generally well-built chassis.
T3 magazine said that 'This is a decent phone, but unlikely to convert anyone to Symbian, making it a handset for Nokia fans, with the priority of texting and emailing'. while techradar.com gave it three out of five stars and stated that while the phone had useful widgets and a nice screen that those features were countered by general usability frustrations. Stuff.TV also gave the phone three out of five stars and said that the C6 was an 'efficient enough phone' but felt outdated. Electricpig gave the phone two out of five stars and wrote that loved the sturdy nature of the phone and Nseries specifications but that they hated the unresponsive screen and bad button design.
