The E5 looks like it means business thanks to its Blackberry-style design, where a landscape screen at the top is joined by a full QWERTY keyboard nestled beneath. Like many of Nokia's other recent messenger handsets though, this one is also about fun, as...

The Nokia E5 is a well built handset with a good quality keyboard. It is well suited to those who do a lot of mobile email or texting. But the small screen is not so good if mobile web browsing is more your cup of tea. Nokia - E5 price Buy Nokia E5 se...

Under Nokia's new naming regime all future handsets will fall into one of four series; X for entertainment, N for high-end smartphones, C for consumer handsets and E for business and enterprise. Each handset's place within its series will be denoted by...

Signal reception and call quality were of a uniformly high standard and the speaker was both loud and clear. Say what you will about Nokia, it does have these basic aspects of handset design down pat. Orange is offering the E5 on contract for free, bu...

The Nokia E5 is a curious proposition from Espoo, especially with the Symbian 3 fueled Nokia N8 just around the corner. It’s a pleasant Symbian S60 messaging phone with a QWERTY keyboard, but the pricetag is a bit of a shocker after Nokia’s done so...

d the Nokia E72 and its gorgeous thin metal frame at the time, and we still do, so taking its skeleton and slapping it in a slightly uglier skin and giving it a new name leaves us scratching our heads.Such a move might be good and well if Nokia had brought the price down in the meantime (As it did with the Nokia C6 compared to the N97 Mini), but it’s forgotten to with the Nokia E5. SIMfree and un...

Costs just £10 less than the slicker E72...

A great phone, but the E72 is better, and a year old, which says alot...

It’s hard to argue that Nokia’s E-series isn’t Espoo’s crowning achievement of recent years. The business-based blowers pack in great design, fit well with the functional but hardly fancy S60 interface and rock battery life that draws envious glance...

It’s great that Nokia is offering the Eseries to the mass market, and for the price you get a great range of features. It’s just a shame the Symbian OS is past its best and doesn’t offer the ease of use an entry-level smartphone should. Nokia E5...

S60 does let the side down, though. It’s still remarkably unintuitive and will face stiff competition from BlackBerry OS6 when RIM rolls it out to its QWERTY devices. Fortunately, the E5 doesn’t have a touchscreen, so this iteration is passable and do...

The Nokia E5 is a solid handset, but if you're looking for much more than traditional calling, texting or emailing then you might want to go for something a little up-to-date. The Symbian-running E5 lacks the fluidity of Android and the apps of iOS, le...
