I have had this wonderful gadget for the last two weeks & I am more than satisfied with it. Composing mails & emails is an absolute pleasure. I possess the black edition & it won't be unjustified if I say it is super glamorous.

- Music quality is awesome through headphone.
- Talk time is great.
- the battery lasts for about 3 days with me, after quite heavy usage.
- Camera quality is not bad.
- It has all the modern facilities like 3G, Wi-Fi, 3.5mm audio jack.
- It is priced well.

Hats off to Nokia, the E63 is marvellous, stupendous, mind blowing. Add as many adjectives as you wish, it won't be unworthy.

Just a few impressions of the Nokia E63 after using one for a month or so on a bargain Virgin contract of £10 a month plus extra charges for WAP use.

Good points.
- Wi-Fi! I can look up live train departures (without being charged for WAP) before I leave the house, & have a quick look at emails in the morning & evening without switching on the computer.
- Internet radio, great feature allowing me to find shed loads of Jazz stations (if you like that sort of thing ).
- 3.5mm output! At last I can use any ear- or headphones without searching for the right adaptor.
- QuickOffice, full editable version for the E series phones allowing me to keep track of my accounts.
- Long battery life.

Bad points.
- So called Visual radio. The visual bit isn't explained in the manual & I haven't got it to work, I doubt if any stations are outputting visual content, & it makes the radio more awkward to use.
- Slight but noticeable hissing sound on 3.5mm output. This is more noticeable with more sensitive earphones. It seems to be a fixed level so when you turn the volume up the music drowns out the hiss.
- Graphic equaliser on music player does not work. Fortunately the sound is well balanced anyway, but it would be nice to be able to change the EQ.
- Despite all the features, the phone seems a bit boring & is bigger than most.

Overall though I am pleased with this phone & would recommend it to others.

This is a great phone. I upgraded from the E51 to this phone & I really cannot fault it in anyway. Excellent spacious keyboard & wide colourful bright screen, excellent battery life & easy to use interface. The best thing about this phone is that it has a 3.5 mm headphone jack & not the 2.5 mm that comes as standard with a large majority of phones now which means you don't have to rely on the cheap headset you are provided with which in most cases are very flimsy & tend not to last as long.

This device is a hidden gem in Nokia's portfolio. Having purchased this device I upgraded the quickoffice application for on the go document editing, installed the Opera Mobile for Symbian browser, & I had a portable computer in my hand. I love the Internet radio on the device too. Fabulous value for money.

I have recently got this mobile on contract & I think it's fabulous I haven't got the smallest fingers & it's not as hard as I thought it would be to text & work when on the Internet the screen quality is brilliant & had lots of features it's like a cheaper iPhone but without all the apps & that has got games installed with it but you have to use the Internet you can download themes songs wallpapers once you have got the hang of how to use it it's an excellent phone the camera isn't so good but it's OK & one good feature is the light I can never find a torch in my house & its handy when you need to see something I have got a 2GB memory card in it & got a few pictures & 100 songs & hasn't slowed down what so ever & it's not even a music phone the battery life is very good for a Nokia & keeps it charge for at least 3 days it's not very bricky from most picture you see as you may be put off it not much bigger than a normal phone it lightweight & you can fit it in your pocket perfectly fine to my calculations I would recommend this phone to most people but don't be concerned by the tiny looking keyboard it puts a lot of people off it not as tiny as you would think when you see it.

Well, economical version of E71. Good for those who need camera for very rare usage. There are few errors in the spec, phone has 3G but not HSDPA, also there's no infra-red & GPS. But otherwise is very good, especially the 3.5mm jack. Recommended.

Note from Editor: Thank you for your feedback, the specification has been amended.

Brilliant phone, the lack of integrated GPS is a shame, but then it's cheap & does the job. Not overly impressed with the Nokia Mail application, but it does work & manages several e-mail addresses with no disenable difficulties. There is one small bug with the software - if you leave it running for a while & then press the menu button nothing happens. It is still possible to lock the phone (? !? ) & do everything else, but no menu (bit odd). Office application is really useful (you can view & edit documents then forward them in an email). Battery life is fantastic even when using Wi-Fi, easily last me three days of heavy use (email, Internet, calls, etc.).

I currently own the E63 & it definitely does have Wi-Fi. I use it constantly. Only I wish it would support more file formats. Btw, there is one game installed, a golfing game with the Tiger Woods brand.

Overall an excellent phone, especially for the price of $180 US.

This phone does have Wi-Fi, great phone. Just be careful when updating the firmware with the Nokia software because there is a issue at the moment. When you switch your phone back on the keyboard has gone funny (EXAMPLE letter Z become WHY & vica versa).

Beautiful looking phone. Basically the same as the E71 but in plastic. A lower camera & some features snipped. Very usable mobile with a great battery life & overall features. With a lower expected price. Will be a great buy!
