Features
The E62 is great for media. In the menu there is a dedicated media folder which contains; gallery, real player, music player, voice recorder and flash player. The gallery application lets you view images, video clips, music tracks, sound clips from voice recorder, streaming links and more. The built in real player also works great. You can not only view saved video clips but also stream videos straight form the web. Real Player supports the following file extensions: MP4, MPEG – 4, 3GP, RV and RA. Compared to Coreplayer or TCPMP for Windows Mobile the file types are very limited in Real Player.
Another preinstalled program is the Music Player. Although you can use Real player for music, the music player has many more options. When you open the application it automatically searches for music saved on either the device or memory card. The Music Player app also has an equalizer setting in which you can select presets for acoustic, bass booster, hip hop, pop, R&B and Rock.
The phone also has a flash player built in. The flash player is Flash Lite 1.1 which is not the greatest because it does not support all the new types of flash files. Although this program comes pre-installed, you can install the newer Flash Lite 2.1 on the E62. You can download it from the Adobe site here for free but you need to make a login if you don’t have one already:

If you get “certificate errors” when installing this application or others you can get around the problem by looking here:

The E62 also comes with a suite of Office applications. With this suite you can view or edit Microsoft Excel, Word and Powerpoint files. The suite also includes a ZIP program in which you can easily compress files before sending them via email.
The E62 also has a built in navigation program called TeleNAV. Although the phone does not have built in GPS, it relies on a Bluetooth GPS receiver. If you have a GPS receiver there is no need for third party GPS applications.
The phone also has a cool voice aid program which read out everything on the display. With voice aid you can hear your recent calls, contacts, voice mailbox, time and even numbers. This feature is not a voice dialing application and does not take voice commands.
