Messaging, Internet & Connectivity
The E62 is excellent for messaging because of the amazing QWERTY Keyboard. With the E62 you can have Push email service with
Blackberry connect, have access to Microsoft exchange servers, POP/IMAP email access and more. There is also a dedicated key for email and messaging. You can customize it to which ever you use more. The E62 has AIM, MSN and Yahoo instant messenger built in and you can have them running in the background while doing other tasks.
The E62 is great for internet surfing and the included web browser is amazing. Although the E62 does not have WiFi you will need a data plan if you’re a) planning to use Blackberry Connect and b) planning to use the internet excessively. The web browser is great for rendering the size of the website so it can be viewed properly but I found at times that even though there was a fast connection, the web pages took long to load.
The E62 has many connectivity options. The E62 has built in Bluetooth, infrared, Mini USB connectivity and computer syncing capability. The E62 does not have WiFi but the E61 European version does.
The Bluetooth is version 1.2 and does not offer features like A2DP (stereo over Bluetooth). Although the E62 does not have advanced Bluetooth profiles it does standard profiles just fine. You can connect a Bluetooth headset or GPS device quickly and easily.
When you plug in the phone to your computer via Mini USB the phone asks you to select either PC suite or data transfer. The PC Suite is included with the phone and allows you to exchange data and sync with your computer. A downside is that when you click data transfer you cannot copy files directly to your device, instead you can only copy files to your memory card. The E62 supports mini SD and you need to open the back cover to access it.
Another amazing feature built into the E62 is the Blackberry Connect program. With Blackberry connect you use the E62 like a blackberry device. You can have access to instant push email services no matter where you are. Like Blackberries you need a data plan and charges vary depending on your service provider.
