Interior
From here on we’ll try to resort to stuff that’s different from E71, since the internal structure of E63 is exactly the same as in the case of the big brother. Both gadgets have a 369 MHz Freescale CPU and 128 MB of RAM. This couple, and the Symbian 9.2 S60 3rd Edition Home Screen 1.0 system, means that E63 works fast, reliable and without problems during everyday life.
Just to make things clear let’s see this OS (with a cool long name) in a nutshell. I don’t think Symbian needs to be introduced, this is the OS of all Nokia smartphones. 9.2 is no the latest one, as we have 9.4 as well (on 5800), but this doesn’t make E63 outdated, it’s just different. S60 is Nokia’s platform, which is based on Symbian, the handset has the third generation of this. It has v5 as well, but that’s made for touchscreen devices. Home Screen 1.0, however, is a unique thing, it can be found on E66, E71 and this phone. The point is that when the third generation S60 platform came out, then first a Feature Pack 1, then a Feature Pack 2 has been released, which included additional features and patches. Home Screen 1.0 is somewhere between these two and it’s called this way because it has a feature that is not present on others. This is that we can switch between private (or home) and business modes with the press of a key, and this won’t change only themes and ringtones, but the active standby screen can be reorganized as well, for example the calendar can disappear and the FM radio can be placed in its place.
Besides this, E63 is a normal Nokia smartphone with the usual features and usability. I will not go into details regarding the phonebook and messaging, these didn’t change since E71 and this part can be read in the E71 review. The organizer features are also the same, the full version QuickOffice suite (it can edit files), the PDF reader and the mobile ZIP application are noteworthy.
There is no change in the music player either, although the lack of the volume control keys on the side makes its use a bit more difficult. The FM radio has no RDS, but otherwise it’s good. The calculator, the voice recorder, the stopwatch… everything’s the same as on E71 and there’s no problem with that.
