Smart phones are no longer only IT-assigned, but are frequently purchased by every day users.
The [tag]Nokia e62[/tag], available from Cingular for the impressive price of $149.99, brings mobile messaging and e-mail to the masses.
BEST FOR Business users who want productivity without distractions.
DESIGN Broad and flat with comfortable keys and an gorgeous 320 x 240-pixel screen, Nokia’s latest effort is an obvious BlackBerry competitor. The device features relatively large keys topped by dedicated menu and messaging buttons, as well as a five-way navigation control similar to the Treo’s. Unlike the Q, which the E62 strongly resembles, there is no side scroll wheel.
The left edge features dedicated buttons for volume and voice recording–be aware that the recorder begins when the button is pushed. Annoyingly, the miniSD slot is hidden behind the battery cover, but at least it’s not under the battery itself. Unlike the Q, the E62 is quite comfortable to use one-handed. :: LAPTOP Magazine • Nokia E62 ::
