Reliability and Quality

Overall

Decent nokia with great features it has to name but a few - 2mp camera, calendar, mobile internet, alarm, music player, radio, realtones, predictive text, slide phone, large buttons, memory card slot, flash player, video recorder, voice recorder, real player, bluetooth,infrared, speed dialling, email ..... everything that you could want in a mobile phone.

Battery is a bit useless, goes flat in a day or so, even less if you are using your music player or if you use your phone for high volumes of calls and texts. Usually have to charge mine every night although the phone is now 16 months old. The phone started to switch itself off after a few weeks too, especially when the slider was closed too quickly. Took this back to Vodafone where it was purchased to be told that this would be a loose connection and that all Nokia's have a problem in one way or another, and that they have heard of this happening before with some nokia E65's. This has since been fixed and I have had no more problems with it since then.

Other than these few minor problems, it is an excellent phone with great features. Nice leather-look back, silver front and buttons, large buttons, which I have since gotten used to using as I was used to having a Nokia 3330. It also has the ability to change your 'quick keys' to have shortcuts to the things that you really use the most. Like I said, other than the short battery life and the switching off problem, this is by far one of the best phones that I have had and would recommend this to anyone who is in the market for a new, slim, stylish must have mobile phone whether it is for a fashion accessory or just the basics.

The box came with a PC suite disc, USB Cable, headphones and a little sock to keep it all clean and sparkly. There is also a memory card slot, although I find it has sufficient memory for what I use it for therefore I have not had to use the extra memory up to now.

The large screen shows crystal clear coloured images and the camera is of good quality too, although I do not use this much as I usually have my camera in my bag.

I have had problems with other Nokia's where the sound has become fainter with time, but can honestly say that this has not shown any signs of that happening yet.

I have never used email on this phone so cannot give my honest opinion on it but have used pretty much everything else. It's a nice small-ish phone, but not too small that I would lose it in my bag. It also has taken quite a few bumps on the floor due to me dropping it but it is still working and there has been no damage to it due to this, so it is quite hard wearing.

If I had to get another phone tomorrow I would definately pick the Nokia E65 series :0)
