Nokia E63 Review
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: The Nokia E63 is arguably the company's first
BlackBerry-beater. With full support for push email, attachment editing
and web browsing, an absolutely superb QWERTY keyboard, WLAN and 3G
support, it meets the full needs of the business user. The E63 also
has a camera, video calling, and a media player. It's missing HSDPA
and GPS, but these are really its only faults.
Review: March 2009. Last updated September 2010.
The Nokia E63 is the little brother of the E71
business smartphone. We liked Nokia's E71 BlackBerry-buster a lot, awarding
it 5 stars and concluding that it was better built than the BlackBerry
Bold, had great applications, connectivity and battery life but was beaten
by the Bold on the size of the display, memory and ease-of-use. Can the E63
address any of these issues without compromising anything important?
Well, although we described the E63 as the E71's little brother, it's actually
a larger phone. In particular it's 13mm thick instead of 10mm. It's not any
heavier though, as the E63 and the E71 use the same battery type. One physical
improvement is the keyboard. We find the E63's keyboard even easier to use,
thanks to subtle modifications in the shape and size of keys. The display is
exactly the same as on the E71 - a 2.36 inch QVGA with 16 million colours.
Inside, the E63 is very similar to the E71, so read our E71
review for a more detailed description. Both phones are Symbian 9.2 SmartPhones
running the Series 60 3.1 user interface. There's a wealth of applications available
and the operating system seems to be mature and pretty much bug-free. Some things
have been removed from the E71: HSDPA has gone, but it's still a 3G phone. GPS
has gone too. The camera has been reduced from 3.2 megapixels with autofocus
to 2 megapixels with fixed focus.
One improvement is the addition of a 3.5mm headphone jack. Hurrah! Now we can
plug in any headphone we like, or plug it into the car stereo. A Nokia stereo
headset WH-102 is supplied too.
Although the E63 isn't quite as capable as the E71, it's still a superb all-round
phone. Whether you choose the E63 or E71, you'll find that accessing email,
sending texts and viewing web pages is very easy indeed. This is thanks to the
full QWERTY keyboard, large screen and excellent internet support.
It's not really fair to compare the E63 to the BlackBerry Bold. A better comparison
would be with the BlackBerry 8900. Now the
Nokia has a real chance of coming out on top. First, the keyboard is just as
good as the BlackBerry's and the Nokia's Navi™Key works a heck of a lot
better than Blackberry's trackball. BlackBerry wins when it comes to the screen,
and the two devices draw when it comes to email and web software. The E63 has
3G, whereas the BlackBerry 8900 has to rely on EDGE, but the BlackBerry has
a better camera. We think that on balance we actually prefer the Nokia. For
its core business functions, the E63 excels.
The fact is that we're becoming spoiled for choice when it comes to business
phones that offer QWERTY keyboards and mobile internet, but which don't compromise
on other features, usability or even size. The bottom line is that the Nokia
E63 is an outstanding phone, and offers a less expensive option for those not
wanting GPS or a top-notch camera in their phone. In fact, if you don't need
these, we'd recommend the E63 because of its outstandingly good keyboard.
Update, September 2010: The Nokia E63 is disappearing from the shops now, but
a lifetime of 18 months has proved its popularity. We originally awarded the
E63 5 stars, but have downgraded it to 4 stars now to reflect the fact that
newer phones have appeared with better features. Still, we just love that keyboard!
Features of the Nokia E63 include:
- Series 60 3.1, Symbian 9.2 SmartPhone
- 2 megapixel camera with LED flash and 4x digital zoom
- Video camera with digital zoom - 320 x 240 pixels (QVGA) at 15 fps

The e-mail function is OK, but other than that, I hate this phone. It's
always freezing, so I have to often take the battery out to get it to
restart. And I get error messages that my mailbox is full, but it doesn't
let me delete any messages unless I tak the battery out and put it in
again.

Had the E63 for coming up to 3 years now, not got a bad word to say
about it. I got a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 last year that was supposed
to replace the E63 but it's a load of garbage, so I went back to the
E63. If I was to have one criticism it would be to say that the internet
is quite slow but that could be because I've had it so long and is used
daily. The qwerty keyboard is brilliant, well happy with it and am keeping
hold of it for the time being

I've had this phone for over 2 years now, when having WiFi on your phone
was quite special. Over this time period, the phone is still very capable
of several functionalities; such as playing un-resized DivX/XviD videos
with a 3rd party app (CorePlayer, SmartMovie - supporting subtitles).
Also JoikuSpot allows tethering 3G onto other devices as a WiFi Hotspot.
The phone also is very reliable, no problems whatsoever over 2 years.
Although 3rd party apps are limited, it is only a good device if you
plan on only using it for a phone, and very minimal multimedia use.

Over 2 years ago I wanted to buy a phone with qwerty keyboard for under
R3000.00, so I reasoned that Blackberry's 8520 curve would be the better
option because at that time it was R700.00 more expensive than the nokia
E63. I had the phone a day, realised that it's internet is rather sluggish,
it's bluetooth is over-complicated and it's overall usability is horrid.
Needles to say, I returned it demanding a Nokia. I'd have been the first
to own a BB in my school then, but now I watch my friends and family
go to buy Blackberry's regardless of my warnings. What good is ''free
internet- at R59 p.m'' if BIS is RIP? They don't evaluate that the mean-internet
usage per month is actually lower than R59 and excessive usage in rare
cases only warrants the bias towards BB's internet plan. I like the
scroll-ball, that's all. Furthermore it's Nokia Galore.

i like the e63 as much as the people here does too. but there's one

cover. Its so tiny, hat in just less than 2 weeks i already lost it.
Furthermore, because of that I had to surrender it from my mom. does
anybody know where I could buy it? my mom's really really mad and wants
me to search the whole house, which is useless because i totally remembered
that i put it inside my short's pockets which was handwashed by my mom.
(OFCOURSE I WON'T BE ABLE TO FIND IT, WHO KNOWS IT WOULD HAVE DROPPED

Nokia. Although the camera on the E63 is not as good as my previous
Nokia 6500 Slide, everything else it offers makes up for it. Like all
Nokia handsets, it is very simple to use, and very easy to get used

and sure enough the text messaging letters were very small whilst the
font size was set to 'normal'. The assistant set the font size to 'large'and
sure enough the menu words became larger..........but the text messaging
letters stayed small when I typed a test text This was enough to put
me off what otherwise seemed like a very good phone. If anyone has succeeded
in getting the messaging text to expand on their E63 I'd be interested

had the phone since this morning and i have to say that it looks brilliant.
I was first quite wary of the size but now its in my hand its just right.
Gives a great sturdy feel and the overall lay out of the interface is
great. the home,contacts,calender contacts and message buttons are a
really nice touch. takes no time to load any of the options and all
the features on the phone fit hand in hand with everyday use. The initial
set up of e-mail is easy, a lot easier than i first expected. I have
this in the new black colouring and that just gives it a professional
but not in your face flashy. The only problem i had with this is that
you have to buy seperate memory crds and miniusb cable to transfer your
tracks or data. the QWERTY is really ncie to use and now i write long
texts instead of shorties. REally good overall phone i would advice
anyone who is 50-50 on buying this to go and take the plunge as if you
are looknig for a nice, quick and overall good performing phone that
stands out from others but with all the basics and a bit more to get

keypad and quicker response on the symbyan op system. It has fullfilled
both of my requests. Also, the camera is good for a 2 megapixal, I have
been to yellowstone in the USA and really tested out the camera and
results were good. What else do you need??

i got this phone on contract through 3 nearly a week ago and i can't
put it down, just so much that you can do with it and through nokia
you can down load specific softwear to your computer and you can access
computer from out side no matter how far away you are. that is just
one of many

This is the best mobile I have ever owned. I does everything accept
the washing up! For me, the best feature is the WIFI connection, which
works superbly - I can have free access to the internet, email, listen
to the internet radio (which is brilliant) for free when I am at home.
It means that I can check emails without having to switch on my PC.
The music player works well, and I also like the podcast download features.
I have bought some good quality earphones, which give great sound quality.
The only slight negative, is the font size when texting and emailing,
which for me could be a bit larger. I have found the keyboard so much
easier to use, than a standard phone. I have recommended this phone
to loads of friends and business colleagues, who need to communicate
on the move. Great value for money.

Excellent phone. I am delighted! Not issues whatsoever, wireless WPA2
connected straight away. TomTom 6 loaded and working flawlessly. Not
bother too much about the camera really, it shouldn't taken away stars
for that as its specified. Transfer data in between phone worked brilliantly,
bettery life is great, email set up is very simple. Very inpressed for
the low price vs. the superb specs, the only thing i dislike is the
cap of the headphones as is very easy to go away as its not attached
to the device. higly recommended!!

Best all round phone I have ever used, great battery life, easy to text,
great for only user. The only problem is setting up the internet to
your wireless router, due to 'No Gateway Reply' error message coming
up, still working on that. Would definetly reccomend however.

Purchased this phone to replace my sturdy, time-worn, Nokia 6300. From
the onset I'd decided that a Smartphone was what I wanted/needed, but
also decided that I would remain on PAYG which, having done some shopping
around, does limit the options. Settled on the E63 as it appeared to
be the best smartphone for the money(FAR more reasonably priced than
any Blackberry) and have not looked back since - it's an amazing phone,
I love being able to collect my emails from it, as spend a lot of time
either away from a PC or unable to access my person emails due to company
policies regarding internet usage. And very pleased with the quick access
to Facebook and Windows live messenger! I'll admit that I was initally
torn between the E63 and the E71, and chose the E63 due to it's lower
cost in the end (which also allowed me to buy some 'kit' to go with
it), but I d have to say it's a superb phone - I can't fault it/ So
much less expensive than a Blackberry and I doubt that the E71 could
really be THAT superior to it!

I bought one of these phones based on the reviews on this site. I was
looking to replace my Samsung J600 phone which quite frankly was AWFUL.
I wanted something I could make calls on, send texts, do basic web browsing
and the big selling point for me - e-mail. This phone does everything
I want, I wasn't overly fussed about the lack of GPS (I'm going to get
a bluetooth GPS receiver which I can keep in my car), and I didn't need
HSDPA as I already have a Vodafone PAYG 3G dongle. Still the 3G speeds
are reasonable and I tend to use the Wifi at home. I'd also highly rate
the MP3 player. It might not be as good as some phones (I can only compare
to older Nokias and the Samsung J700 in which case the e63 is much better).
It supports podcasting and I get reasonable sound quality from the headphones
socket (the free headset included was a bit poor but hey it was free).
You can get a cable from eBay for a couple of quid which has a microphone
built in and allows you to plug in a better pair of headphones. The
camera quality isn't great but it's fine for taking basic pictures (I
find that sometimes having a camera with me to take a picture of something
for reference can be a real bonus). It also features a light which can
be used as a torch too (although I tend to turn the phone the wrong
way around and shine it in my eyes! Doh!). Overall I'd say it's a great
phone. Battery life is a little bit less than I was used to with my
Samsung phone, but it lasted a good 18 hours or so when being used for
some 3G browsing, taking photos and videos and playing MP3s. I've found
the keyboard has taken a bit of getting used to but it feels much better
for sending texts and e-mails than using a standard keypad and with
unlimited texts and e-mail on my contract compared to a low amount of
free minutes this is what I use the most. I'd say for personal or small
business use I would rate this higher than a Blackberry, not so sure
how good the Microsoft Exchange support is on this phone, but I certainly
found it easier to setup for IMAP e-mail on this phone than on a similar
Blackberry (although I did find the Blackberry did support push e-mail
from an IMAP server which I can't get working on the e63, but it just
means I have to manually check my mail which actually is handy as I
get so many e-mails I'd constantly be looking at the phone and not getting
anything done). So yeah great phone, especially for texting and e-mail,
I would certainly recommend it. Rob

Im actually using the E63 right now to write this review and ive been
really impressed with the phone, typing is very easy and internet is
reli quick although i am using opera mini at the moment. After using
an LG phone for the past 8 months one thing i noticed is the phone is
really quick due to its processor, so you'll never find yourself waiting
on the menu for the next set of menus to load. Overall its very stable
and email is simple to access, as usual nokia is very reliable. easily
five stars.

to find a phone that did what i needed, and hopefully with a better

and i dont need a gps. so i got the e63, what a stunning phone, phone
calls are clear, texting is an absolute doddle. it feels good in the
hand, its not so small that you will lose it, and its not as big as
the n96. and the battery doesnt run out in 12hrs with all the apps like
skype, messenger etc running. i cant fault it, and for the price its

Had the phone for 3 months now, still the best phone i've ever owned.
use it for radio (16 hrs a day with Sony earphones), email, internet,
phone calls, alarm clock, taking notes, taking pics, text, etc. My text
messages on other phones in the past were short, yes, no, maybe etc.
Now i end up writing long messages with full spelling (predictive text
is excellent), amazing phone, forget touch screen phones which usually
need two hands to do anything; this phone is fully recommended for it's

This phone really does tick all the boxes for me. There are better phones
on the market I admit but the quality of the E63 is amazing. The 2 megapixel
camera isn't top class but is fine for taking the odd picture! It comes
with both general 2G and 3G which is a big bonus for me. I am a historian
and travel around the countryside alot. I still get amazingly good signals
whereas my last phone couldn't meat the high standard this phone produces.
internet is fast as well! I would really recommend this phone for personal
use as well as buisiness use. Hope this helps

Hi. I have just bought this model this week and I have to say that I'm
impressed with the push e-mail. I get all of my Hotmail e-mails dropping
in regularly so this saves me time because I don't have to fire up my
computer. I'm a touch typest so as a visually impaired user it took
me some time to adjust to the size of the keyboard and the speech application
works well with this phone. I must stress the speech application is
not an application which is part of the phone. It's a separate purchase
so I can use the phone just like any other sighted person and I have
access to e-mails, text messages and web browsing. This phone is an
ideal business solution and an perfect notetaker as it came with a full
version of Quick Office. I'm not really in to the camera side of things
although I have taken the odd picture every now and then. I use an external
GPS receiver so that isn't an issue either with the phone not being
equiped with an internal GPS receiver. This phone doesn't feel cheep
and the price is just about right since those features as the GPS and
an higher spec camera are missing. Music doesn't sound that great through
the small speaker at the top but a good set of headphones will overcome
that as I find the quality of sound is nice through headphones. It's
a business oriented phone so I'm not going to slate the multi media
aspect too much. This phone is far from cheep and chearful so I would
recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to shell out the £229 for
the Three branded version E71. Your not missing much buy purchasing
it's little brother.

The phone's features are exceptionally good except the following: -
Scroll Keys - no where close to the blackberry. Very slow and clumsy,
try the blackberry or a touch screen PDA and you'll forget the Nokia
E63. - The hyped about phone for emails doesn't support HTML mails.
All your client emails get converted to text. You can read your HTML
email as a HTML Page though but it defeats the purpose completely. -
Poor Battery - Nokia claims 10.5 Hour to 12 Hours talk time - with no
other phone usage except for calls it doesn't last more than 4 hours
(2G) - Standby Time - at max 3-4 days

Amazing phone! I was looking for the perfect internet and emailing device

Internet? No problem. Email? No Problem. MP3 Player? No problem. Everything
on this phone is brilliant. The qwerty keyboard ensures fast typing
(thinking about it i couldnt actually go back to a device without a
qwerty keyboard) The phone doesnt have a rocker switch and even though
i listen to alot of music on my phone its not really a problem as the
volume can be changed by holding shift and pressing up or down on the
d pad. Overall Perfect phone and all for £149.99!
