As a phone, the E62 is on the quiet side, so your callers may be hard to hear. Dialing is easy, however, and the unit is comfortably light to hold. Talk-time battery life is excellent, reaching the 10-hour maximum that we test for.
The E62's roomy keyboard is its biggest draw: It's one of the most spacious arrangements I've ever seen on a candy-bar handset, with wide, flat keys that are beautifully sized and spaced. Setting up e-mail is a breeze, and sending and receiving messages are just as simple. The E62 handles attachments with aplomb, and its included office suite lets you edit documents easily. Though the included MP3 player is loud and clear, you'll want to use the bundled headset in lieu of the tinny internal speaker.
My few complaints center on features that the E62 lacks: It has no camera and no 3G service. The Symbian OS is surprisingly sluggish, too; I found myself hitting commands several times, thinking that the button presses hadn't registered, when in reality the E62 was just processing them slowly.
Otherwise, it's a stellar little device. Factor in its reasonable $200 price, and the E62 is a top contender-and number one on our chart.

Duration of ownership: 2 Months
Strengths: Excellent screen, battery life, phone, software and email
Weaknesses: Slow OS, silly placement of audio memo button
Overall Evaluation: While not as cool as some other products I've owned, it is a solid phone, has great battery life and an awesome screen. The OS is simple to use and learn. Having no camera works well for me as i'm not allowed to bring one to work. Unfortunately, Cingular just killed it. Hopefully, they will replace it with another great nokia phone with all these biz features and no camera.

Duration of ownership: 1 Month
Strengths: Big screen Light
Weaknesses: Lillipucian letter ... now that is small ... users 45 and older may need a magnifying glass to read the text. The vendor could not and the manual did not provide instructions to increase the screen characters size. Synch software not user friendly as competitors
Overall Evaluation: This looks and feel like a first time entry PDA Phone by a supplier. A lot of good ideas but just not the finish touch that a Blackberry or even Palm PDA phone has. We even found the software not as intuitive as that of Sony Ericson PC Suite who is not a strong contender in synch. to PC arena. Other well know brand names shine in comparaison. We bought the unit based on the review from PCWorld ... we will be returning it before the 30 day trial is over for competitive offering.
