This is maybe the best attempt from Nokia to beat RIM BlackBerry devices. It’s a mobile phone oriented for people who often use e-mail services. Because of that it includes a QWERTY keyboard to make this easier.
This device has some problems if you use BlackBerry e-mail service or Exchange server. Despite this, it will be a good device for everyone, thinking on this kind of user oriented devices.
Let’s talk now about some of its features:
- Design:
It’s really compact (114 x 57 x 10 mm) to have a QWERTY keyboard, Nokia has adjusted the size of the device. It weights 127g, what added to its reduced size looks to be a compact and resistant phone.
In the backside metal part has a useful grid that will prevent it from falls. Besides, just to say that it really has a “Blackberry” style, as we can see in the picture. - Screen:
The screen has 2.36 inchs and can display 16 millions of colours. This size looks right compared to the size of the device. It has a 320×240 pixels resolution what it’s nice, although in some applications like e-mail, a better resolution would help to access more information of each message, as Xatakamovil has previously posted. - Keyboard:
It has QWERTY system. Its compact size makes this device a little bit more “portable”, so that it’s not as big as its competitors (what can be a drawback for people with big hands…). It includes direct access keys on the top, which link to Home, Diary, Contacts and e-mail.
- Connectivity: it can connect via 3G with a 3.6 mbps HSDPA connection or via WiFi 802.11g. It also includes infrared system and Bluetooth 2.0 with these profiles: DUN, OPP, FTP, HFP, GOEP, HSP, BIP, RSAP, GAVDP, AVRCP, A2DP.
- Camera: it has a 3.2 megapixels (2.048 x 1.536) camera, with flash, autofocus and digital zoom.
- Battery: great news at this point, let’s the numbers talk. Up to 10 hours of speaking time, 20 days of non-use time and 18 hours of music playing time.
- Start screen: this is totally customizable. Actually you can configure 2 different start screens and swich them whenever you want. Eachone allows you to customize the direct access icons and even the information you want to be displayed on the screen like e-mails, WiFi networks…
- E-mail: it has a POP3 or IMAP oriented e-mail service that works perfect. It also supports Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email and Nokia Mobile VPN.
- Maps: it has a GPS receptor so with this Nokia phone you can navigate using Nokia Maps 2.0 and even search for restaurants or shops.
- Memory: it supports microSD cards up to 8GB size, and it has an internal dynamic memory of 110MB.
- Connectors: it has a micro-USB 2.0 port to connect your phone to the computer, and also an AV Nokia 2.5mm connector. The disadvantage of this port is that it’s not compatible with standard earphones, so that they are 3.5mm sized.
- Music: we can charge music files from the microSD card or from the computer via an USB cable. We can have the media player background working.
- Conclusion: good design, small size, powerfull applications… looks a great device, we are waiting it comes to our hands to play with it and give you more info and our non-technical opinion.
