"Worst phone i have had in 8 years"
Pros: Looks elegant, lots of software
Cons: battery life, incredibly slow to open messages/menus, freezes very often, sometimes will refuses to call out until reset... etc
Summary: First off, do not discount this review because its a one off, i have had this phone replaced and both times it has had the same and differnet problems. More importantly though, i would say it is quite likely that every other person to write a review on this phone works for nokia.
There are so many hundreds of complaints on the nokia forums about this phone.
My first E65 had one of the stiffest keypads i have ever seen in any phone, it did not feel as though i was pressing anything (and not in a good way). The buttons on the side of teh phone are so small that only a skinny 4 year old could press the button and find it an appropriate size.
Once you get passed these two initial problems you have to deal with significant software problems.
1. On a regular basis (happened on both phones) the phone will not let you call out. It will let you select the contact, but then when you press call, or go to menu and 'call', it does absolutely nothing.
2. If you are lucky enough to get the phone to call out, it freezes on hanging up about 50% of the time (happened on both phones)
3. Terrible terrible battery life, maybe the price you pay for having extra features...but the pros definently do not outweight the cons.
4. Loss of soo many features from previous nokias such as no automic keypad lock after a certain amount of time.
5. Made pretty much every every aspect of using the phone more complicated than previous nokia's...most operations that used to take one click/selection usually take at least two or three on the E65.
6. The menu and clear button on the front are incredibly small, and the phone for some stupid reason will not let change teh middle selection button to open menu (like EVERY other smart phone ever made) and the clear button to the top right like it used to be in previous Nokias.
Overall... do not even consider getting this phone until nokia gives a release date on a software upgrade. considering how many issues it needs to fix, it could be a LONG LONG LONG time
