"Great Phone: Some Details Missing"
Pros: Great Web Browser, Big Screen, Nokia Call Quality
Cons: Camera may have made a best of both worlds, email client needs more feature
Summary: 1. I am used to a blackberry and bought the E62 only yesterday
2. I have configured it to use blackberry email client and i use the cingular blackberry connect service. The setup was a breeze.
3. I am not sure if I can use some of the email functions that i had on my black berry eg. how do I scroll page up /down on my email messages? How do i search within email messages etc.
4. I am not sure if a standard nokia car charger will work or do i have to buy one specific for this one?
5. The ONLY problem i have with the phone (again comparing with blackberry) is that every time I open an email, it displays that annoying 'Opening' picture with the gears and takes time even to open previously opened emails. Any work around that?
6. I have my daughter's picture as the wallpaper and my favourite songs loaded as well, these extra's a business phone are welcome.
Overall a very nice device.Updated
Well..i wrote a very nice (spectacular rating) after 24 hrs of owning the device..72 hrs later..i am far less convinced and here is why
1. Software/Firmware: I think is the big problem. This thing is SLOW. After I press the address book button there is a perceptible time lag. Similarly every time i open an email it takes time, same thing with calling any app. Also i had an mp3 setup as my ringer and though its a nice feature, it has very poor performance and it takes time for the ringer to ring.
2. The speakerphone is very unpredictable and the call volume drops and picks
3. One thing i was counting on with Nokia was the call reception and i am surprisingly disappointed. I have had atleast 2-4 occasions in last 48 hours where incoming calls have directly gone to VM without ringing.
I am having second thoughts and may return and settle for a 8700c (still an upgrade from my existing 7290) ..Others please share your thoughts and viewsUpdated
Please see my previous 'opinion' on this site. I have gone from being total blown away by the phone to 'second thoughts'. 1) The software (on my phone at least) seems a little sluggish and this is the biggest disappointment.
There is missing information on a lot of features. Anyone with details please share:
1. How to use the navigation (GPS) feature.
2. How to edit messages while forwarding
3. My bluetooth (Motorola headset)..works and then doesn't work
any words of wisdom?
The multimedia features (pictures, big screen and MP3) have made me stick to this Nokia B'Barry so far. Lets see how far!

If you read your manual you would probably now how to use the phone and as far as the camera gos you can just email pics to yourself and save them in your doc. I suggest reading the book how to use a cellp phone for dummies. lol lets be realistic their isnt a phone or service out there that hasnt dropped at least a few calls. I got my Nokia e62 and love it i got it for 27.00 with my corporate discount through my employer. using a cell phone is far less complicated than you make it.

As is typical for Cingular during peak call periods, incoming calls frequently go straight into voicemail because of circuit overload. The same thing happens when you attempt to make an outgoing call and you are unable to do so and have to redial to get it to go through.
It's the network, not the phone. -
I totally agree with pankaj's opinion. I had similar thoughts as his second thoughts on my day 1. As soon i set up the email connect (which was a real breeze!!) i started disliking and missing my blackberry. I kept saying to myself this is a "Smartphone" and been using it for 24hours. Not at all happy with software and how slow the device it.
I am very close to exchanging this with a blackberry 8700c.
