Does everything very well


I've had my 2650 for about 2 years and have never had any problems at all. The battery life could be better on the battery that comes with the unit (about 2.5 hours), but outside of that no complaints. It does have some slowdown issues when you get major memory hogs going like Photoshop or Flash MX and it doesn't do too well freeing the memory back up once the programs are closed, but those situations are rare. All in all, a very good and dependable system that in my house has really taken a beating. Go for it. Good laptop even with the factory default hardware.

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
