How would the average user know what that means, or what it does? We’re not even sure we understand it. For example, there’s a listing for “Session Initiation Protocol” or “SIP” in the Connections settings menu. On its surface, the slate-like Nokia E63 offers everything a young mobile propeller-head would need: messaging and email capabilities with a full QWERTY keyboard, an above-average music player, a swift Internet connection, especially when connected via Wi-Fi, and access to Nokia’s Ovi third-party application and cloud server Web site, all in a package that’s a little bigger the Blackberry Bold.Īs usual, the Symbian S60 user interface looks and feels like a more intuitive version of Windows Mobile, but contains a lot of unnecessary tech doublespeak. In other words, we’ve used iPhones and BlackBerrys – and the E63 is neither. But a lot of these paradoxes are overcome by superior call quality and above-average battery life. Nokia’s unlocked E63 (a surprisingly inexpensive $279 at ) represents the now-familiar fusion of a smartphone with an “open” operating system, a speedy Internet browser, a messaging device and a multimedia player, yet there is something off from each of these that becomes annoying. No way to disconnect WiFi connection overly technical settings menus poor 2-megapixel camera no music controls on earphones no included PC PIM sync softwareĮver since Apple and RIM began their touch-screen smartphone/multimedia device/third-party app store pas de deux, other smartphone makers have been trying to fill the small niche formed by users not satisfied by these two smartphone giants.
