E50, well it is the most sensible, under-hyped Nokia phone in the market. Surprisingly, not many people know about it, since it has not being advertised. It looks like a well thought out strategy from Nokia. They bring out the best phones in the market, and make them sell like hot-cakes by word of mouth. E50, ladies and gentlemen, is one such phone which is compact and has the power of a much bigger phone. Nokia seems to have over-hyped lot of other phones in its product portfolio, which have only half of the features that of E-50.
It has all the features which an N-Series phone would have, one top of it, the cost is lesser to that of N-Series phone. Some feature which wins the race for E-50:
High-quality handsfree speakerphone allows conference calls and multitasking(combining voice calls with calendar viewing, SMS, and email) Manage personal and business calls separately: at the end of the day, ’turn off’ work number while keeping private number active Organizer feature includes contacts with images, calendar with accept/reject function for meeting requests, and to-do list Office application viewer for documents, spreadsheets, and presentations Built-in MP3/AAC player 1.3 megapixel camera* Downloadable JavaTM and S60 games and applications Ability to access personal email accounts from the Nokia E50 Support for Wireless Email and BlackBerry Connect, gives easy access to emails XHTML browser for viewing Internet pages Connectivity to compatible PCs and devices via infrared, Bluetooth technology, and USB cable
In a nut-shell, E50 is a power-packed piece, which comes to around 10K. Probably, is the best buy in its category. Almost a blackberry in 10K.
