It's a user friendly phone with all the generally required communication features. However, its design is not brilliant! Its Bluetooth is also quite slow.

A terrible phone that drops calls, gets stuck thus battery needs removal, very slow, I am going for the iPhone which seems like a proper all rounder.

I am using E50 presently. I did like its Internet speed. That's why I had it with me for over a year. Now the first ever mobile I have ever got attracted is E51 because of its slimness than E50. I had a look at it. It's quite excellent rather than good.

Really, REALLY bad phone. Constant crashes, slow to start, font so small it is virtually impossible to read, sticky keys. I could go on but I won't! Avoid like the plague.

Great look & easy to use. Battery life is great. Great features that allow you to place word documents & open them with built in application.

But, operating system crashes. It takes forever to open images. It would reset the mobile when checking balance on Pay as you go. Sometimes phone would go on loud speaker during a call & not be able to get it back to headset function.

I have had this phone for a year now & despite it not getting over used, it is now really struggling. The battery life is shockingly bad, it crashes, it freezes & it scratches really easily. My phone now looks like the phone of a builder!

I have never had a bad phone from Nokia, until now.

My advice is don't get it. It will only let you down!

Nokia E-50i is the thinnest set which I use in my life it's amazing. Simply to say no phone like that isn't.

This is a good phone, it making calls however, the text messages take at least 5 minutes to send. This freezes the phone & you have to remove the battery to restart it again. There is also no camera & the phone could benefit from one. These are the only two factors about the phone that have let me down.

Reviewer: Ddn - Bangladesh
Date: 7th Dec 2007

I think now it's useless to buy this phone, as Nokia has massively degraded its quality. I had purchased mine made in China but it is not like my pal, who had older edition. Difference which I have seen hand to hand are as follows, so be alert.

Best thing about E50 was it beautiful sharp crispy screen & good battery, plastic quality too but these three things are missing. Screen quality is bad now. Earlier the screen was in a white tone so picture looks stunning crispy. But now, it's in dull yellow tone. Which is simply unacceptable?

They have started giving ordinary batteries. Most common in Nokia low end sets, so you can imagine its performance. Plastic quality is also hard & cheap not beautiful smooth like earlier production. Also its joystick is also not long lasting same as Sony Ericsson. Mine downside joystick has stopped responding.

In simple words you pay less you get less. So if you are planning to buy it now just change your decision. Also Nokia have stopped giving data cable with the new packages, because original data cable will cost you RS 1700. Instead now they give a 512 memory card & a useless carry pouch case. To bring down the price more downwards.

Also major drawback is its ear piece gets terribly hot when you talk more than 5mins. You simply can't face the heat radiated. So if you luckily get an older pack manufactured before August. Or older then buy it otherwise forget it. It's simply waste of money.

I have now had this phone for 3 months (sim free phone running version 07.36.0.0 07 09 2007 RM 170) using Vodafone UK. I have found this phone to be excellent on call quality, signal strength, usability & battery life. However as with some of the other reviews accessing the gallery, in particular the pictures on the memory card can be quite slow, taking typically 10 seconds to open the gallery for the pictures (2GB Memory Card Installed). The phone has an extremely solid feel to it as the back, screen surround & the bottom lip of the phone are made of metal (no really, metal). Oh & if your reading this review & you own a Ford vehicle with built in Bluetooth you will be happy to know that this phone WILL work perfectly with it! Overall if you need a phone for calls, texts & connectivity (& there's nothing much wrong with your eye sight) then this is ideal for you. If you need a phone for pictures, music or the latest fashion accessory then this phone is not for you.

Essentials that you will need for this phone are Auto lock (automatically locks the keys), Stopwatch, Divx Player & some games. Applications that will work on this phone are TOMTOM 6 & Nokia Maps (external GPS unit required).

No camera on this phone must be an early model. Font too small, keys tiny & stiff, menu access poor, very slow. The loudspeaker not loud enough on full volume. Will not connect to Bluetooth headset in fact it can't even discover it. Not a Nokia I would recommend, obviously designed by committee from used parts bin. I will try 6300 or 7500 next. Nokia please withdraw this phone maybe you could replace it with a carrier pigeon.

Reviewer: Vinay - Banglore, India

I bought Nokia E50 black 1 month ago, synopsis.

- Design is excellent.
- Features are excellent.
- Keypad usability is poor.
- Fonts visibility is average.
- Symbian OS is good.
- Processor speed is poor.
- Battery is average.
- Bugs it has loads of them, updates needed regularly.
- Camera is pathetic 1.3 megapixels.

Software issues can be solved up to certain extent by upgrading to version 7.36.0.0. Either by data cable. It is quite stable without facing loudspeaker problem. Nokia should start to think over again before launching such a disgusting phone.

Reviewer: Sally - Staffordshire, UK
Date: 11th Nov 2007

I can't read the numbers on the screen. Can't press the key pad as it's too small. Very Very slow. Hard to find contact number. Screen keeps freezing & has to have battery taken off to get to work again. Sometimes can't be heard by other callers unless take battery off. Rubbish phone hard to use.

---

Reviewer: Igor - Poland

Nice looking phone with some nice features, but it is way too slow, often hangs, gets stuck, takes minutes to send a simple sms, sometimes can you need to take out the battery & 'reboot' in short ONLY for the most patient of users.

---

Reviewer: Antony Gouldsbrough - Doncaster, UK
Date: 29th Oct 2007

Please don't buy one of these. I've had loads of problems since day one, it often crashes during calls & needs the battery to be removed. The car charger is pretty dire too!

---

Reviewer: Eric Stewart - Poole, UK
Date: 25th Oct 2007

Sturdy, sleek & looks cool but the user interface is rubbish compared with the 6320 & in fact, almost anything else. It's totally counter-intuitive & this self confessed computer nerd is scratching his head. My employer supplied it so I use it, but I wouldn't buy this.

---

Reviewer: John - UK
Date: 21st Oct 2007

As was said before excellent design, plenty of features, but cannot cope with S60 - too slow (3 minutes to start! ), hangs, font tiny. Too many features too little power!

---

Reviewer: Mark - UK
Date: 21st Oct 2007

I have had this phone for about 7 months. It has some serious problems:

- It frequently hangs up if you try & end a call. It can only be rebooted by removing the battery.

- It constantly tells me it can't upgrade the Nokia CK7W hands-free kit. Then it freezes. Why it has decided it wants to upgrade the hands-free kit I have no idea. But having to remove the battery while driving can't be a good idea.

On the plus side battery life is good. Overall this phone lacks competent testing before it was released on to the market. Or is that what Nokia thinks it's paying customers are for. Stay well away!

Reviewer: George Grace - Mumbai, India
Date: 12th Oct 2007

It's a great phone.

Everything in this phone is good except for a few things.

The joystick could have been better. Sometimes it's just simply painful to use the joystick.
The video quality is terrible (especially the audio recorded in the video)

Otherwise. I love this phone. I've had it for 2 months. It hasn't given me any problems yet. Love the battery life & the call sound quality.

I am using the N-Series headset with this phone. So as far as sound quality is concerned. It's the best sound I've heard from a low-mid bid budget business phone.

Font size might be an issue with some people. But I think that the font is perfect for its size.

Overall:

It's a very good phone. If you're looking for a good business phone but you cannot afford a HP or a blackberry. Then I think this is the phone you'd want to buy.

Reviewer: Keith Daff - Bryanston, South Africa
Date: 11th Oct 2007

Very satisfied. An excellent compromise between size & features/performance. Smallest font size is small, but at 71 years I can still read the screen clearly. The only problem I had was with the editing screen, black text on a dark blue background! I downloaded 2 new free themes from Nokia, Steel & Dark Stripes. With either of these the editing screen is much more eye-friendly, white text on a dark grey background. I use my phone with a Garmin 10X Bluetooth receiver & Garmin Mobile XT software. Great definition, smooth scrolling & audio routing with safety warnings. This is the latest phone in my collection which includes the 8210, 8310, 6230 & 6280 as well. Nokia is great!

Reviewer: Karl Freeman - Plymouth, UK
Date: 22nd Sep 2007

Just managed to get 02 to replace it - failed on three counts! Joystick doesn't work after 8 months into 18 month contract - why did I go for 18 months? Pin on transformer loose & won't charge it. Back keeps falling off.

Nokia! Nokia! Nokia! What were you thinking when you made this one? Is it made of spare parts no one else wanted?

---

Reviewer: Mark - Liverpool, UK
Date: 21st Sep 2007

Design: Looks like an executive phone & very stylish.

Features: Packed full to the brim of features, mostly for emailing, etc.

Usability: rubbish! Takes forever to start, hangs all of the time, font so small that nobody but myself in my house can read the screen - but I do have to struggle (maybe that was an intentional security feature).

Basically it is pathetic. Worst phone I have ever owned - total waste of money. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. IN FACT, DON'T EVEN DO A STRAIGHT SWAP YOUR OLD Nokia 3210 FOR THIS! What is the point of having a portable anything full of features & looks stylish if it's totally unreliable?

---

Reviewer: Janet - Chelmsford, UK
Date: 18th Sep 2007

This has to be the worst phone ever. The designer should be shot. User friendly, you are having a laugh! We are a cab company using Nokia for the past 3 years, with only very minor problems. We have had this E50 for 36 hours & only by the grace of our controller with a soft spot for phones has this gremlin not been run over several hundred times! Unusable, should be unsellable. We have several graduate students who have given up trying to negotiate the menu, (these are computer geeks) who ALWAYS instantly know how a phone works. Bring back the 32 range!

---

Reviewer: Fais - Dammam, Saudi Arabia
Date: 14th Sep 2007

I have bought the E50 two month ago. It is easy to use. The phone is built nicely from outside however there is not a latch to hook a wrist strap to it, so no bling on this phone. I manage about 1500 contacts on my phone, so it syncs without look very easily & quickly.

The Battery charges quickly & lasts for a good 2 days with Bluetooth on. The BAD: the phone is slow. It takes a while to start writing a message & to search contacts. PTT takes forever. Sometimes close to 10 minutes to load.

Reviewer: Tim Rowe - UK
Date: 7th Sep 2007

Horribly, horribly slow to start up & respond to any key presses. Minuscule text for contact details that even somebody with good vision will struggle to read. Voice tags a nightmare to set up & even then don't seem to work. This is a phone that looks good on paper but just isn't usable in real life.

---

Reviewer: Jackie Court - UK
Date: 22nd Aug 2007

Whilst being full of whistles & bells, it is the most un-user friendly phone I have ever had, in over 20 years of using Nokia phones because of their simplicity & reliability, I cannot believe someone has designed this rubbish! As someone who is short sighted, I find it impossible to read whilst in the car kit, & struggle with it when hand held. Thank goodness it has the voice aid! It freezes for no reason at all & takes an age to re-boot. A smart phone my foot! Would not advise anyone to buy this phone. Come on Nokia-get your act together.

---

Reviewer: Ghufran - Pakistan
Date: 19th Aug 2007

The mentioned issues by many users are vary phone to phone. There is a freezing issue but other issues are not seen by me in my phone.

Any how, Nokia may fix such issues in the other mobiles with same category.

Reviewer: John - Bristol, UK
Date: 17th Aug 2007

What have you done Nokia. I've had Nokia phones for many years & they have been great. The E50 is just plain awful to use.

I have lost count with the amount of times that this phone has frozen & the only way to reactivate is to pull the battery out & power on again.

Wake up Nokia & put this right.

E50 is good because MS Office applications are viewed, 70 MB memory is enough, it is recommended for sober personality.

Reviewer: Mark - Leeds, UK
Date: 2nd Aug 2007

I have always had a Nokia phones & been happy but. This phone is not what I expected it to be. Most reviewers here have got it right, the phone is unreliable & in terms of the software badly designed. Mine crashes most weeks usually in the middle of a call then its takes an eternity to power back up. The font size would be okay for the cast of 'Honey I shrunk the kids' but for me. No. I won't be getting another.

HEY IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GREAT PHONE THEN don't BUY THIS TRIBE Nokia WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ITS TIME TO SACK the PERSON WHO CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA POOR POOR MANS PHONE NOT EVEN A DEL BOYS PHONE.

Reviewer: Neil - Knutsford, UK
Date: 27th Jul 2007

Nokia were the best makers of mobiles before this phone came out.

RUBBISH.

The phone goes onto speaker (unprompted) when you pick up a call occasionally. I don't know about you, but I need some confidentiality when I am on the phone. Even worse, when you try & finish the call, you can't as the screen is frozen, so you have to resort to pulling the back off & then pull out the battery & then re-boot. Not good.

The screen is large but font is small, so you cannot read numbers from a contact list.

SLOW SLOW SLOW. Painfully slow. If you delete a contact, the phone freezes for about 10 seconds.

Everything takes too long on this phone. I realise that Nokia have packed this thing full of bells & whistles, but at what cost.

The phone should work including contacts & messaging, & it doesn't.

DON'T BUY THIS PHONE.

Reviewer: Faiyaz Vorajee - Surat, India
Date: 13th Jul 2007

By design & features the phone is really is good that why I choose it but its really slow functioning phone. The main problem is sometimes loudspeaker automatically starts upon receiving a call, after finishing the call the phone is hanged up & I can't even switch it off & switch on. I have to remove the cover, then battery & restart the problem. I've been talking to Nokia Care for last 5 months but they don't have any solution available yet. This is the family bug of this phone.

Reviewer: Harry - Devon, UK
Date: 11th Jul 2007

I had an E50 for 8 months.

Like so many others who have reviewed this phone I like Nokia products, but this one was the worst phone I had. Vodafone kindly replaced it for a 6300.

Initially if I left the phone in silent mode I was unable to switch it off. This I could live with, but after about 6 months it would do odd things & freeze.

The final straw came when it was in Bluetooth mode & would not only drop incoming calls, but it would shut down then re-start, not what you want when your driving.

In total this phone was returned to Vodafone three times & despite their best effort & software upgrades it left me cold.

Although in defense of Vodafone they did not make a fuss over changing the phone for a different model.

Nokia took their eye off the ball on this one & it makes me reluctant to try another Symbian phone.

Reviewer: Paul - Norwich, UK
Date: 14th Jun 2007

This phone was appalling. It finally froze up for good about 2 weeks ago & now doesn't work at all.

- Always froze up when sending a text for about 2 minutes after you had sent the message, rendering the phone useless.

- The joy stick was sharp & unable to use.

- Camera was poor.

- Would freeze for no reason when scrolling through phone book, had to take battery out to reset it.

Now doesn't work at all! Worst phone I have owned. Now back with Samsung D600 which I am very happy with, never freezes, camera is good, OS is good, battery life isn't amazing but can live with that. Stay clear of the E50.

Reviewer: Andy Smith - UK
Date: 14th Jun 2007

I have had Nokia phones since they were the size of a house brick & quite frankly this is the worst phone they have ever made including the brick, utterly useless. No auto key guard, text is too small, voice tag is a joke. I can only think the good reviews are from the Nokia sales team. NEVER AGAIN I am finished with Nokia! Nokia wake up & listen before it's to late?

---

Reviewer: James - London, UK
Date: 11th Jun 2007

Design over substance, it is complete rubbish I use it for business & it does the following:

- When you answer it sometimes goes onto speaker & locks up meaning you have to take the battery out.
- It hangs.
- The predictive text is rubbish defaulting to YOT when you type YOU. I don't know too many words starting YOT do you?
- The messaging is very slow it takes 2 minutes to load a message.
- The phones functions are not very intuitive like not always letting you save contacts.
- The voice dialing doesn't work at all.
- The Bluetooth connection is very sensitive to the distance the phone is from the other device.
- Screen resolution is poor & therefore the font is tiny.
- The camera is slow & poor quality.
- The key pad is wearing badly.
- The processor is slow.

Functionality that does work is the email & most calls.

All in all rubbish & continuing poor Nokia quality which is a shame as they used to be so good. If you think its good you have very low expectations.

The screen text is so small it is almost unreadable. It is also not possible to record your own voice tags so you have to imitate a robot to get it to call the correct person which only works about 20% of the time. Apart from these issues it is OK! I certain would not recommend this phone to anyone.

Reviewer: Gavin Riordan - UK
Date: 2nd May 2007

True the Nokia E50 is slim & somewhat lighter than my previous phone but sadly I would implore the average business or personal user to think very carefully before choosing this phone. I have always had a Nokia in the past & vowed never to stray to another brand owing to their simplicity of use. This phone is truly dreadful in terms of usability, & appears to do little else of significance than the previous version. The font size is miniscule & cannot be changed (consider the prospect of a full length text message visible at once on the screen). Sending of text messages involves navigation of a circuitous medley of useless menu options, usually resulting in user error of some description. After 4 weeks of trying, I packed the phone away & have reverted to my old phone.

It's a real disappointment that Nokia have geared their flagship phone toward the teenage market, rather than to those to can actually afford to pay for them! Goodbye Nokia!

Reviewer: Dave Lyons - Dublin, Ireland

Great phone but for one thing, the TEXT. Whoever designed this at the Nokia factory must have just had laser eye surgery. I can just about read the text even with my contacts in! How annoying. A bit like someone selling you a Porsche, it looks fantastic & then you discover it has an old Volkswagen engine inside they found lying around the factory. What a pity, nearly there Nokia, not quite.

Well I have always been a big fan off Nokia's I also own XDA exec. & I have taken on Nokia e50 on a O2 contract, the phone is good, a lot good features its slick, I am using this phone a lot on the go all time, the battery life is really good, it lasts me all day sometimes I don't even charge until after 3 days & it last, I do a lot off abroad rips, it work, This phone works in china, Denmark, Germany, France, Sweden, Russia, Poland, & I have recently uploaded tom tom 6 gb & Europe maps & it works fine with an external gps receiver, no problems, the battery does not die out on me, the push email facility is really good too, I have also added my yahoo & hotmail addresses & I get all the mail, the Internet works very well too.

Bluetooth headset works great too, I have also got 2 sd cards 1GB & 2 gb & the phone doesn't hang up, the phone LACKS a better camera mega pixel, loud speaker-its too low, Wi-fi, mobile manager should have been given as a standard I had to buy that for £49.95 a little steep.

Other wise it's a good mobile phone for business use. A great companion, it's great side by side with the XDA exec pda.

All thumbs up. Thank you

I have always been a fan of Nokia, subject only to their utterly useless instruction booklets, but I hate this phone! Even the basic leaflet for setting up is so badly laid out I had to photocopy & cut-& paste it before I could see what the various control buttons did by reference to the diagram of the phone. It is too clever by half: despite the screen being bigger than any I have had before, the font size of anything on screen is ridiculously tiny; the menu button is small & fiddly & illogical, the most basic functions are difficult to find as compared with my last phone; putting a new contact on is a day's work, getting at my original contact list after I put the simcard in was a nightmare of digging. There is a mass of stuff I don't need. If ever I hit a wrong button by mistake I find the thing is trying to connect me to the Internet. I am sad to say that the sooner I can move on to another phone, the better! So very sad.

First of all, for me there two types of phones: Nokia & the rest. I had a 6630 before the E50 & it was a pretty good phone. Well, the E50 is miles behind that one. It doesn't have so many applications, the text size is small & the buttons are almost impossible to use. But at least they've got right with the design. Another problem that I have with it is the MMS service, it just doesn't work. I don't know if it's the phone to blame or the network, but it drives me crazy.

The most important things on the cell phones are: software & applications. Not camera ET all. On Symbian OS 9.1 3rd generation missing many applications which can improve usability. But for the first time Nokia made good generation of cell phones models E, its better than any other models.

Buying this was a mistake & like another review, can't wait until the 12 month contract is up so I can change it.

Getting used to it after having had a Motorola for the last 18 months. The font size is a real problem though. I need to dig out my specs if anyone ever sends a text or a calendar event pops up.

Unreal phone, camera is great, however the software is slow to load messages, even slower than my old Mate SP3i - all in all a great phone though.

Finally a worthy replacement for the 6310. A bit more memory would be great but other than that all good. Love it.

My first Nokia & I think it's got some serious failings. I use the phone in the car a lot - the excellent cradle is the main reason I went for this model. The problems are Loudspeaker & Voice Tag volume. You can only turn on the loudspeaker (hands-free) when the call has connected. So if you are placing a call whilst driving, you have to look at the screen until the call connects & the soft key offers the Speaker function. While you drive into the Transit van in front of you. What's the point of this? I need a speakerphone that I can turn on, listen to the call connecting & speak into when the person I am calling answers the phone. OK, OK, so I'll use the ear piece & place the call with a voice dial. The recognition part of this seems to work very well (except that you have to have separate contacts for Fred - home, Fred - office, Fred - mobile (something to learn from Motorola here, chaps) the BIG 'but' however, is that the volume of the 'speak voice tag now' warble is fine when using the phone as a handset, BUT INAUDIBLE when using the earpiece in the car (which means you again have to watch the screen whilst progressing the call - watch out, Transit van) Moreover, the volume level of the synthesised voice tag playback displays identical characteristics, so that again, some hazardous screen watching (at 4pt font) is needed to be sure that you are calling the right contact. These failings make the phone very difficult to use in the car. Roll on 12month contact & something more appropriate. Any ideas anyone?

Perfect replacement for the 6310i. Not top drawer on features, by today's standards, but it just works (as the 6301i did). As a business phone, superb. Non business users will be left wanting.

The phone looks very sharp & the performance (especially the battery life) is outstanding. Although there is no such thing as a 100% "Perfect" phone, its venerable & dependable 6310i. If you are looking for a phone that's small, compact & easy to use, I suggest that you give this model some serious thought. God bless.

Cool handy stuff. A better replacement for 6310'is. If one wants to have business options & multimedia options together then E50 is the best option. I enjoy using it.

Just ordered the phone yesterday, I've had a Nokia 6230 which has held up for 2+ years, but its starting to show its age. That is probably one of the most complete phones ever, people can't believe when I tell them it had FM radio. That's the only feature I think the E50 is probably lacking.

This phone caught my eye as I have recently bought the Nokia E60 & I am extremely pleased with it, but not having a camera has been more of an issue than I ever imagined. I have never felt the need to have a camera on my phone but since I have acquired the E60 it has come to light that a camera & business phone should go together. The Nokia E50 has a camera feature & is very close in exterior design to the E60. I will stick with my E60 but look at investing in the E50 as a second phone & solely for the camera feature. Nokia are manufacturing the best business phones & all of my partners are interested my E60.
