great on features/size, weak on battery, usual series 60 aggravations


I was using my Nokia 6310i up to a week ago because it was a basic solid phone with fantastic battery... but I yearned for quad-band and 3G, and wifi for internet phones. I didn't care for smartphone or camera/video or mp3, but then the E65 came along, cutting down on some fancy features (only one camera, no stereo bluetooth headphone etc), and giving a good set of core features..

So far it's been a solid performer, a little tricky to get VOIP working but it does... however, as soon as you leave it to automatically search for wifi/voip service the battery drains quickly - I'm having to charge it daily!

As for the smartphone, well, it has the usual (I'm told) Symbian aggravations, that's to say just minor niggles.
