    If you're choosing between the E71 and E63 we don't envy you. The differences in hardware (no HSDPA or GPS) are made up for in its cheaper price tag. The E63 will make an excellent messaging phone for people who need to be connected without the trimmings. Read more

    • Cute design, Great keyboard, Zippy performance, Outstanding battery life
    • No HSDPA, No GPS receiver

    Nokia's latest Eseries mobile phone is the little brother of the more powerful and slimmer . Commanding an outright price of under $400, the Nokia E63 retains most of the Nokia E71's design traits — including a full QWERTY keyboard — but it lacks built-in GPS and HSDPA connectivity. The Nokia E63 is quite similar to the Nokia E71 in terms of its design, though it’s thicker and is made of plastic rather than shiny metal. Read more

    • Excellent design and keyboard, switch mode feature, Wi-Fi, user interface, price
    • Lack of HSDPA-connectivity, no GPS, space bar has been shrunk, downgraded camera

    The users should be pleased as the new touch sensitive Navi Wheel which encircles the traditional d-pad should make it even easier to flip between menus and screens. The Nokia E63 is available in ruby red or blue, applealing to a new group of consumers with a design that feels great in hand. Read more

    I've had this for about 20 months, and I love it more than I did when I first got it. This phone has been dropped repeatedly (by accident of course ;), and it just keeps on ticking. The speaker is great, very loud and clear, and the loud-speaker option while listening to radio and music stored on the phone is fantastic. The camera isn't bad, and the flash is very bright, which makes a surprisingly powerful torch also, which I use often. Read more
