What’s in the box?

The E62 comes with the following:

      • Box and manuals
      • Charger
      • USB cable
      • Nokia software
      • Stereo headphones
      • Battery

Overall I found that the E62 is way too slow for me. When you press a button the delay is at least 1-2 seconds which I found quite annoying. Overall the OS has a very slow response time and especially when there are applications running in the background it gets extra slow. Compared to Windows Mobile devices which have powerful processors the E62 is too slow.

Another downside for many is the fact that the E62 does not have a camera. Compared to other devices in it’s class the Blackjack, Dash, Motorola Q, all have mega pixel cameras included.

The E62 is similar to the Motorola Q and Blackjack in terms of looks but is missing a key feature for single handed use; scroll wheel. If the E62 had a scroll wheel it would have been much easier to navigate with one hand and would be excellent for scrolling when viewing web pages.  

The Nokia E62 is offered by Cingular for ZERO dollars with a service agreement. If you’re a Nokia/Symbian fan and looking for a new PDA device, look no further. If you’re signing a new service agreement with Cingular and want a little more processing power and more features I would recommend the Cingular 8525. The 8525 is 199.99 with a service agreement but offers a 400 MHz processor and has WiFi built in.
