Nokia E55 Reviews Starting To Come In

By The Guru on September 9, 2009

Nokia-E55The Nokia E55 is an odd duck, with its 20-key half-QWERTY keyboard and all, but from the spec sheet, it also looks to be quite a popular little phone. I had the chance to play with Rafe Blandford from All About Symbian’s E55 yesterday, and from the few moments I spent fondling it, the E55 is definitely a nice piece of kit. It’s incredibly thin, and much smaller than I had imagined. However, that weird keypad just doesn’t sit right with me, but perhaps you’d like it better.

You can read Rafe’s coverage of the Nokia E55 here, and MobileBurn.com just published their review of the phone, as well. I also know that Dan Carter from Nokia World has purchased an E55 on his way here to Nokia World, so expect some coverage over there, as well.

What do you think about this phone? Potential high-seller, or will the keyboard bomb it out?

    I want it. Or at least the rumoured version that will work on the 850 and 2100 3G bands. I wanted the N79, but it didn’t offer that mix of frequencies, so I’m left waiting for something that does, and I’m learning to stalk this phone.

    There is something that seems strangely alluring about this keypad layout, but odds on that I would hate it within a couple of days.

    However, that said, the Blackberry with a similar setup actually sold fairly well, even if mostly to the consumer market rather than corporate.

    I’m going to go for the E52, exact same spec as E55, with the exception of a standard T9 keypad.

    I totally want it though a bit larger screen would make it even more appealing. Wonder why Nokia can’t put a 2.6 incher on a candy bar.

    I had a chance to play with the e52 on a trip recently and you have to hold this phone in person to believe it. Its 9.9mm thin(/thick!) and considering the size of the 1500mAH battery its amazing. It really hits you when the battery is removed and you hold the aluminium kit in your hand…talk about feather light!

    The 2.6′ screen on a phone this size is pretty big + with the beautiful colors I don’t think too many people will complain in that regard.

    Gonna get one for my sis as soon as they release a version which is legible in sunlight. (White on silver does not work unfortunately).
