I’m glad to announce that Nokia used the new, 600 MHz CPU in E55. This processor has proved itself in 5630 as well and did a good job, which didn’t change: the software is shockingly fast. Of course the QVGA display will soon be considered as a small one in the world of smartphones and the 2.4” diagonal is no big deal either, but this is still okay for business phones.
I might not surprise anyone saying that E55 has the Symbian OS with the Series 60 platform, version 3.2, and just like on many other Eseries phone, the whole thing is completed with the Home Screen. The point is that users can change modes as well, there is a business and a home mode, which are not environmental profiles, as they don’t only change ringtones, but reorganizes the icons and features on the standby screen (active desktop), according to our preset needs.
I might not even have to review the menu system, we can see the good old Symbian structure: colors can be changed with themes and there are logical icons everywhere. The designers have paid a lot of attention to avoid scrolling wherever it is possible, so all submenus fit on a single screen by default.
Still, the first software version is far from perfect. The phone I had locked up quite frequently and it usually did it in the middle of a conversation. Of course this could be because I have a really old SIM card, but unfortunately the handset hung up when installing the N-Gage platform. We should disable automatic screen rotating, as if we’d like to enter a menu and tilt the phone at the same time, the otherwise fast system slows down a lot.
I had problems with sound quality as well. Although I’ve heard everyone perfectly during the test period, many of my partners have been complaining about not hearing what I’m saying, my voice kept disappearing from time to time. This means no good for Nokia, opposed to the assembly quality, I can’t say much good about the software. These problems are of coursed fixed by a patch, but I think it’s a huge mistake to launch an Eseries phone in such a state.
