Pros:
Excellent Ergonomics, Very Simple to Use, Powerful Business Features
Cons:
Poor Inbuilt Speaker,1.3 Megapixel Camera, No FM, No 16M Colour TFT




I just bought the Black Edition for around 9k in Delhi and the phone’s ergonomics are mind blowing - its the sexiest little thing you can hold in your hand. I had actually bought it as a standby for my O2 Atom which is in for Service - and I must say that their service sucks totally!!!
Its an amazing phone - i need to check out the battery backup but m sure as a legacy of Nokia - its gonna be outstanding.
Ten arms straight - its not a multimedia phone - but its a business
Nokia E50

phone. Amazing to see that there are no preloaded games.
Loaded with office applications - Flash player, browser, mail client etc.

Pros:
- Excellent Ergonomics
- High Resolution Screen
- Very Simple to Use
- Powerful Business Features
- Seamless integration with PC (Bluetooth/IrDa/USB)
- Very useful options which are absent on N-Series
- Excellent Batter Life (Upto 6hrs of talk time & 3-4 Days of standby)
- Multimedia Player (Series 60)
- Symbian OS 9 series 60 (So you can install new softwares) - remember you cant do this with series 40 phones like 6300
- Good Navigation (Single handed operation)
- 70MB on Internal Memory
- Ability to integrate with GPS features using an external GPS module
- Phone Book is virtually limitless (No limit on number of entries)
- No Limit to number of SMS you can save (Hats off)
- I could go on and on...in short 70% of my O2 Atoms features for 1/3 the price - Way to go NOKIA E50

Cons
- 1.3 Megapixel Camera
- Poor Inbuilt Speaker (Ringtones sound crappy)
- No FM (This would have made this phone an all rounder)
- 16M Colour TFT - (similar to 6300 - although a 256k is decent enough considering most N Series come with a similar screen)
- Option to increase Font Size (Although I enjoy the small fonts)
- A stereo headset along with the phone (They pack in the mono ones to bring down price) Personally I wouldn’t mind paying another 300rs for it.
- Pop-Port connectivity for PC. They should have stuck to the mini USB cable port being used by 5200/5300 music phones
- Birthdays added to phone book do not get added as reminders :(

Over all for the price i paid for it, I totally recommend this phone but its meant for business classes or executives.
I recommend it for sure.

Purchase Price: 9200
Talk time (minutes): 400
