Summary: Solid phone great price
Comment: I got this phone because my wife had problems texting with her blackbeary perl. It was a serprise. She wasent sure. But after a few days. She loves it now. The price for a unlocked smart phone like this, well I think you just can't beat it. The only problem is my kids want to replace there phones with E-63s.

Summary: Good value for your money
Comment: Nokia can sometimes be like Toyota - they build a model, then they improve on it. This is the case with the E63 as a successor to the E71 and E61. Cheaper and better. Period.

There are a number of arguments for this - no metal case (plastic, here. But hard plastic...); camera isn't something to write home about - but then neither is the previous one.

Anyway - who asked for a high-end camera in an efficient business phone? Someone who from Enron that moved to AIG? Gimme a break.

Getting back to my starting point - the E61 is a great phone (it still works, after three years, three deep dives & umpteen kocks and drops) which the E71 improved upon - the improvement being that you can no longer buy the E61 but the E71 gave you the same capabilities in a better-looking package.

And this is where I get to why I actually like the E63 - it is like the E61 even though it don't got the E71 nifty metal frame, and it's much cheaper, and it still has a great battery life. And because I can't get my hands on another E61 any more. Shame on Nokia.

I probaly do not need to make the point but I will - all of the above phones give you document, spreadsheet and .pdf capability. I wrote and sent documents on letterhead from under the beach umbrella on all. I hated my phone bill later (and my lack of patience to use the laptop on a wi-fi hotel link). Then again - all of these Nokias have wi-fi capability - which is a lot more than you can say about a lot more of the competition. And that makes the guilty feeling all the worse.

I must pay (lip) service to the competition:
1. Aplle i-phone has no battery life which you can't replace and is not a business phone. Please - it's a phun phone.
2. Blackberry will give you all of the above, excepting battery life like the e61 or the e63 (Nokia, can I get the e61 battery in an e63 phone? Pretty please?)
3. Sony-Ericsson I will not badmouth because I never could get used to using them.

If you must have a Nokia that will do all of the above while fitting where it must - this is the phone for you.

Finally - the e61 brought back the good old times of analogue digital phones from the early '90s: "Is that a Nokia in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"

Summary: Highly Recommended: Nokia E63-2
Comment: I bought this phone to replace an older Blackberry 8700, and it has been a very pleasant surprise.

Physically the phone is light, thinnish, and feels good in the hand. The back is easy to open/close, and the build quality is high. Feels solid in the hand. I rather like the lack of external buttons and sliders. Once I got used to how to adjust the volume, left/right on the trackpad, I don't even think about it any more.

Starting at the top, the screen is very good to excellent, with the only drawback being lessened readability in bright sunlight. Colors vivid, text crisp (especially important for my old eyes). Keyboard very functional, the smallish rounded-top keys work well with my fat fingers. It's not a Blackberry keyboard though. My main complaint with the keyboard is that the 'function' key in the lower left is an odd shape due to the rounded shape of the lower left side of the phone. I sometimes hit it rather than SHIFT, and vice versa. But a very minor complaint. Speaker very robust and clear, call quality is great, and speakerphone very loud. Battery life is very good for a 3G phone, and I get 2 - 2 1/2 days of use easily, but in practice leave the phone tethered to a charger at night. I do dislike the fact that even this newish phone uses a proprietary charging and sync cable, and the power cannot be used to sync. I've had quite a few Nokia phones over the years (and even lived in Finland for about five years), so I have a nice museum of discarded chargers and sync cables. Why not use mini-USB or micro-USB?

3G service (North American 3G only on this E63-2 model) is excellent here in New Mexico, very seldom do I fall back to EDGE or GSM. Good call quality, very few dropped calls.

Software. Since I bought the phone unlocked (SIM-free), not a lot of crapware/bloatware was present. Email was a breeze to set up, but I will say that BB email is far superior. Syncing to my desktops and laptops is a no-brainer using Bluetooth. I'm primarily a Mac user, so I use iSync with a Nokia add-on to sync calendar and address book. Software updates are not over-the-air (OTA) for this model, so I bought yet another nokia cable to update the firmware/os. And, of course the nokia update is/was windows-only, so I did the update from a netbook running windows7. Media software is pretty good, but it's not an iPhone.

On-going costs: I bought the phone unlocked, and use AT&T GoPhone PAYG (pay as you go) service, plus a data plan. $100 voice service is valid for a year (and can be topped-off/extended and the amount rolls-over), and the $19.99 for 100MB monthly data plan 'rolls over' if extended within the 30 days. A secret: Buy 100 MB initially, and then extend it with the $4.99 1MB plan if you're not using it all. This continues the roll-over process. AT&T only allows 300MB in reserve, so I did a couple months of $19.99 to get the MB up, and now add $4.99 monthly. Point of this: the Nokia email client is very data efficient, I can't use the entire amount of data on the plan, even when I try. Adding light browsing a few times a day (facebook, googling, etc;) is hardly noticeable. I don't do massive music downloads or apps downloads, so, your mileage may vary depending on your usage. I add videos and/or music from my computer directly to the phone via micro-SD card. Anyway ...

All in all, for the price (around $225 at the time), this is a great deal! An excellent, solidly-built phone, a superior screen and keyboard, trackpad (rather than trackball), and, great call reception and quality - this is, after all, a mobile phone. I like this phone so much, in fact, that I bought a second for international travel, the E63-1 with 3G for 'the rest of the world.'

Summary: Great product Good price
Comment: Got this item 3 months ago and finally decided to review it.
Unlocked is good since my mobile provider is LIME.
Price is good.
Full QWERTY keyboard is good.
Camera could be better but I usually have my SLR with me so it does not affect my rating of this product.
Vibration is acceptable but could be better.
It is a Nokia so you know it is easy to use, everything is right where you would want it to be.
Get a case and a screen protector.
Battery life is good (with bluetooth turned off and wifi scanning off)
I use bluetooth to transfer videos, MP3s,photos and other stuff to and from my computer, so not having a data cable does not affect my rating.

It is an over all good product.

Summary: Nokia E63-2 Unlocked Phone with 2 MP Camera, 3G, Wi-Fi, Media Player, and MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Ultramarine
Comment: For the price this phone is wonderful. It's solid, and very easy to setup. I am using with TMobile prepaid SIM card and when inserted, it worked perfectly. Brought over all my contacts. Easy to connect to my home and work WiFi.

I read a lot about this phone before I bought it and purchased it just because of reviews on Amazon. I read on other sites that it was hard to figure out and that the WiFi couldn't be turned off. Neither is true you just click on on the big square button and scroll down to turn on or off Wlan scan. And if you just read the start up you can figure it out no problem. You don't need to set up a connection for email. Just Google your personal one and go there. Texting is easy with this keypad. Sound is excellent, I highly recommend this phone.
