Data transfer, battery
We have everything. GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA. The latter supports only 3.6 Mbit/s, but I am personally well off with that one too. WLAN is also supported, so in an average situation there can be no place where there is no Internet access.
All these come with a near-perfect browser, as the software based on the new Minimap technology seemed as absolutely flawless to me. Besides already known features (landscape view, zoom, graphical history, handling multiple pages at the same time, review) it also supports flash content, it played back fullscreen flash animations, running in a separate window, without problems. Youtube content is opened automatically by Real Player, so it really has everything that is possible on a QVGA display; there is a huge bonus point for Nokia for all these. Although it’s not visible by default, there is a very small lens above the display, so we can make video calls too.
As for local data transfer technologies Bluetooth and USB 2.0 are supported. Regarding USB it would be high time to scold the designers, as E66 can’t be charged via the USB cable, so why the hell are they forcing this whole microUSB standardization. With PC Suite we can make lots of stuff, there were no kinds of problems; I was absolutely content with everything.
It’s not so good news that E66 gets hungry quite fast. Of course it can take it for three days, but then we don’t navigate, don’t use the net, don’t listen to the radio and 3G has also been turned off purposefully. Those shouldn’t invest in E66 who have such goals, as this phone is good because it has all this features. It’s easy to use and it’s a high quality product.
As for me, after that certain “what’s this menu?” feeling in the beginning, I really got used to E66. Of course who love photography or listening to music, should be looking for a different device, but E66 is great as a graceful, elegant and complex business phone. It has just appeared at us, it costs something like €350 EUR. It’s still not a bad buy and after a price fall it will certainly be worthy of the award that I now give in advance:
