Nokia E63 Unlocked Cell Phone
Nokia E63 unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz). It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider. This phone comes with a full manufacturer’s warranty.
E63 Unlocked Cell Phone
When paired with a compatible 3G network that uses UMTS 900/2100 MHz connectivity (found in Europe and Asia), you’ll enjoy a high-speed connection offering a variety of feature-rich wireless services–from data connectivity to your office to multimedia streaming, and take advantage of simultaneous voice and data services. In the United States and foreign territories where 900/2100 MHz 3G networks are not available, you’ll continue to receive data service via EDGE network (depending on network compatibility).
Nokia E63 unlocked cell phone is the next QWERTY messenger by Nokia, set on the glorious path of the E71. No fancy spoils, the Nokia E63 means business and brings connectivity and messaging together in a sharp and reliable package. We loved the design of the E71, with its sleek curves, QWERTY keyboard and landscape display. Our review unit is a cheeky ruby red, but a blue and black are also available.
Between the screen and keyboard are an array of shortcut keys – home, calendar, contacts and messages – with a large five-way navigation key in the centre. Under the battery cover Nokia has wisely included a huge 1500mAh battery pack. The E63 doesn’t have a volume rocker on the side of the handset, instead the nav-key changes the speaker volume during calls.
The phone is charged via the standard Nokia charging pin at the base of the phone, and the handset has slots both for USB connections and microSD memory expansion on the side of the unit. Unlike the E71, the E63 sports a 3.5mm headphone socket under a rubber plug on the top of the phone. Features
The E63 unlocked cell phone is an interesting mixture of inclusions and exclusions compared with other smartphones available. Its $199 price tag should suggest not to expect all the standard smartphone hardware, but you might be surprised at what Nokia has left in. It sports 3G connectivity and Wi-Fi, but not HSDPA. Most people should find this sufficient for basic mobile browsing and email delivery, though the E63 isn’t the phone you’ll want to use for mobile broadband sharing with a PC.
Using Nokia’s PC Suite you can sync your contacts, calendar and to-do lists from MS Outlook, and share bookmarks with your favourite browser. It’s rarer and rarer for phone manufacturers to break up the holy mobile trinity of HSDPA, Wi-Fi and GPS, and if we had to drop one it’d probably be Wi-Fi first. There’s plenty of people who can live without a GPS receiver, and Nokia is gambling that they are the same people who like red phones. Performance
If you’re happy with the features and components inside the E63 unlocked cell phone then we can guarantee you love the performance. Nokia estimates the talk time for the E63 to be 11 hours with an astounding 18 days standby time. Web browsing is reasonably zippy and the pages render well. Media playback is better, videos look fantastic on the widescreen display and play well after being transcoded in the Nokia PC Suite software during the transfer from a PC.
Do you trade a GPS chip and HSDPA data for a 3.5mm headphone socket, a coloured handset and a cheaper price tag? Either way it’s a win-win situation.
