Welcome to check an another Nokia E series mobile, It was released on August 2010 and its a full qwerty mobile with decent screen. It is also known as E5-00. 2.36 inches screen good but 320 x 240 resolution and 256K colors are not enough I think. Symbian operating system and ARM 11 processor combination makes this mobile as good speed device. Quad band 2G and 3G supports a lot of network and giving a good connectivity speed. WiFi, HSDPA 10.2Mbps are giving wonderful speed of connectivity while sharing other devices and surfing time. 5 Mega pixel camera with good picture quality looks impressive.

This phone is similar to E72 but except some minor differences. Mobile comes with plastic body and battery back cover only comes with aluminium body. As I said above its a full qwerty keypad mobile and it gives smooth typing option. Volume controller, mobile lock button and battery unlock button placed on right side of the phone. MicroUSB, 3.5 mm audio jack and charge hole place on top of the device and loud speaker is under the phone. 5 mega pixel camera with Dual flash light looking good and a safe guard is molded around the camera for scratch free.
REVIEW
Its a Full qwerty keyboard with 2.36 inches screen but the visual quality is very dummy especially the resolution is very low and can not get a quality color while surfing internet or playing games. Nokia still struggling with Symbian operating system but its not a big problem with this average cost mobile. 5 Mega pixel camera is looking nice but video quality is under average border, so don't expect a good quality of video. There is no auto focus facility so its an another major draw back with the camera. 256MB ram gives a good speed of working and text file editing is very easy due to the quality qwerty keypad. 3G with 10.2 Mbps speed give a good speed of internet and WiFi also supporting connectivity. But no application like twitter is a minor draw back, over all its very suitable phone for file editing like word and excel.
Pros:
- Full qwerty keyboard make typing easier
- 3G and WiFi connectivity for average cost
- Processor and Ram makes good speed of working.
Cons:
- camera quality, no auto focus, low video quality
- Poor screen visual (low resolution and low color)
After check the above details its a nice phone for a cheap cost. Nokia E5 now avails in Chennai, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Delhi, Kolkata, Pune and other major cities in India but price may vary city by city due to taxes and availability condition.
