Exterior
The box doesn’t have many extras inside. A basic headset, a microUSB charger, a data cable and a converter are all that’s inside the package, besides the phone of course. The converter can be applied on old Nokia chargers to make them microUSB-compatible, hooray. A leather case would have been better. Another thing that’s also an accessory is the 2 GB microSD card inside the phone.
The handset looks really attractive at first sight. Eseries has a mature style by now, with some attributes that make the phones easy to recognize. These include the icons on the keys around the navigation button, the silver frame, the bit flat bottom and the back panel that’s made of metal. The shape of the keys, the fonts, the part above the display all make it clear that we’re having a Nokia business phone in our hands.
The most special part of E55 is the keypad, so let’s have a closer look at it. As you can see it on the pictures, each key has two characters on it and one more above every third. These can be accessed by pressing the modifier key in the bottom left corner. The layout is in fact QWERTY, which is really strange at first, as the keypad’s size makes us automatically use it as a classical phone keypad. Of course one can get used to anything, but let’s talk about this later.
There is only a microUSB connector on the left side of the phone, but there are some controls on the right. The keys on the sides of the top trio are used for setting the volume, the one in the center launches the voice recorder. Below we can see the camera’s shoot key. On top of E55 we can see the power button, and there is a 3.5 mm jack besides it. The back panel is made of metal, it’s easy to take off, and there is a camera on top – on the part that stays on the phone of course.
Assembly quality is exceptional, the materials used are worthy of the Eseries’ renown high standards, E55 makes the impression of a very precisely assembled device.
