Nokia E5 Review

Review: September 2010 |

Last updated September 2011.
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: The Nokia E5 is a business phone with smart looks,
an excellent QWERTY keyboard, full email support, fast internet access,
plus the usual smartphone features such as A-GPS, Wi-Fi, and plenty
of memory. But watch out for freezing, switching off and loss of signal.
Best buy: *Free* with free line rental from Mobiles.co.uk
(Black) or Mobiles.co.uk
(White); or £199.95 on Pay as you Go from the Carphone
Warehouse (Black or White).

The E5 is an update of the Nokia
E71, or perhaps a budget version of the Nokia
E72. Either way you look at it, the E5 is a good phone, and a true
rival to the BlackBerry Bold range.
The E5 isn't quite as slim as the E71 or E72, but it's no heavier. A
makeover has given it attractive modern looks with a smart metallic
stripe across the navigation buttons. The E5 is slightly cheaper than
the E72, but the only things missing are the front camera (so no video
calling) and a reduced number of colours for the TFT display (262k instead
of 16 million.) No big deal, we suspect, for most buyers.
We've previously reviewed the E71 and E72 in depth,
so we're not going to cover the same ground here. We'll just say that
the E5 is an excellent business phone with a superb QWERTY keyboard.
And it's a Series 60 smartphone running Symbian OS version v. 9.3, so
you have access to all the apps in the Ovi Store.
But like so many Symbian phones, the E5 sometimes freezes or shuts down,
and a number of users have complained about loss of signal. As a business
phone, that could be a killer.
Features of the Nokia E5 include:
- 5 megapixel camera with full focus, LED flash and
3x digital zoom
- VGA video camera with 3x digital zoom
- Display: TFT, 256,000 colours, 240 x 320 pixels
(2.36 inches)
- Music Player (mp3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA formats)

- Speakerphone
- Voice memo recording
- Integrated A-GPS with Nokia Maps
- Messaging: SMS, MMS, email
(POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP protocols), Instant messaging
- Attachment viewer for Microsoft Word, PowerPoint
and Excel
- Symbian and Java™ MIDP 2.0 applications
- Internet: Web browser, WAP, GPRS,
EDGE, HSPA up to 10.2 Mbps download
- Connectivity: WLAN 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 with
EDR, micro-USB, 3.5 mm audio jack
- Memory: 256 Mbytes plus 2GB microSD card (up to
32 GB supported)
- Vibration alert
- Quadband (850/900/1800/1900) plus triband 3G HSPA
- Size: 115 x 59 x 13 mm
- Weight: 126g
- Battery: 1200 mAh Li-Ion
- Talktime: 5 hours (3G) - 13 hours (2G)
- Battery standby: 635 hours - 670 hours

I have been using this phone now since last May. Texting is excellent

it is next to useless. Very difficult to get a signal when indoors and
frequently loose's signal during calls. I would not recommend it.

The Nokia E5 is a professional looking phone. Easy to use and simple
to understand. I have not been able to set up my email. I do lose signal,
I am with 3 and chose them as my provider because of locality of mast
and have never had problems with signal on any other phone. I don't
like the fact that there isn't a shortcut on the keyboard for the &
sign and the light blue/white keyboard backing light does pose problems
with seeing the keyboard at times. All in all, I am please with the
E5.

I upgraded from an E63 to an E5 in December 2010 and everything was
fine up until approx two months ago when the software was updated, I
am now getting memory full C: constantly (I have even deleted apps off
phone memory to try and clear this) calls have been dropped even in
areas I could previously get good reception, emails don't automaticly
update. I'm thinking of buying a Samsung Europa and putting the E5 in
a draw with all the other junk.

Same here Mike. I keep getting messages like - Text message. Not enough
memory to perform operation. Delete some data first ! - Web: Not enough
memory to perform operation. Delete some data first ! I've removed data
from the C: drive, wiped the mobile clean and reinstalled the software,
yet the problem remains. What's worrying is that I'm finding it very
difficult to find any solution to the problem.

This is a beautifully designed phone especially the white version (which
i have), the camera is actually quite good during the day, but suffers
during the night, although the flash does do an adequate job but not
good enough for me. the flash can also be used as a torch which is a
helpful feature. the battery life is good when umts is diabled but barely
lasts 12hrs if it is. the phone hangs quite often which is irritating
but the interface is quite fast. the screen is horrible on power saver
especially in the sunlight. its rich in software and comes with free
ovi navigation software. keypad is a bit small but u'll get used to
it

In a word, no! Do not buy this phone! I have one on contract from Orange
and have experienced no end of problems, still ongoing, with the handset.
These range from "memory full" messages when the phone memory mysteriously
fills up with unnamed files rendering it practically unuseable, to continual
failure of software updates! I have owned a number of Nokias and, prior
to the E5, have always been most impressed, but this phone has serious
issues. Only plus points are the QWERTY keyboard and good battery life.
Wish I'd have gone for a Blackberry!

Nice size, weight and look. it doesn't work though. A disaster of a
phone that has crashed more times than Amy Winehouse. Light inexplicably
comes on of its own accord. Turns itself off occasionally and just now
I have plugged it into charge and it will not turn on (yes even after
a hard reset). Knackered. I do not recommend this phone. I should have
got something better. I used to abide by Nokia, not now. Technology
has gone one step beyond their abilities. Sorry Nokia. it seems this

Are we talking about the same phone? I had and loved the Nokia N71 for
3 years had no problems with it. Hence why I never upgraded. Wear and
tear had caused be to upgrade, So I decided to go for the E5. I mean,
if its in the same class as the N71 then It should be excellent. So
I taught. Nice phone, a bit childish with the icons. Lovely keyboard.
But the thing keeps crashing on me with SMS messages and emails. I have
to reset the phone everyday to avoid this. I upgraded the firmware too,
same problem. Coming from the N71 it [N71] makes this phone look and
run poor. All in all a good phone but not a N71 !!

For it's pricing this phone has met my expectations. If you guys are

just buy Nokia E6! :)

Simply the best phone ever. Had really looked at the Blackberry Curve
3G but this does everything and...has a longer batter life which was
the big thing. OK it doesn't have a great screen outdoors - can be customised
though. Email set up is a doddle using the wizard - even for aol accounts.
Texts are easy to compose, though shortcuts are less so until you work
it out. Call quality is outstanding something lacking in this day. The
build feels a quality handset and indeed appears far more expensive
than it is (pay as you talk customer here!) Altogether a great phone
for those who text, email and call.

All I want to say is people from the UK are expecting too much from
this phone.You don't get Android and a great business phone with a great
camera with a qwerty keypad at the price of the E5.Hell the E72 costs
much more than the E5 and it doesn't have enough features worth the
price. Bottom line is if you want the camera and the movies go for an
android samsung phone.If internet,connectivity,calls and messaging is
your priority then go for the E5. The E5 is having a decent camera and
it is a great business phone with a good qwerty keypad and browsing
on it is great and it's music player is loud and clear though it has
only one speaker and if you put in a little more and buy a decent pair
of headsets then the music is excellent as well. For it's price and
in this price range you can't get a better business phone with a qwerty
keypad other than the E5.It's worth the price.

they go to for quality, but next phone will be Android, S60 has had

I have only had this phone for a day after having the nokia 5800 xpress
music. I decided on this phone because it was an affordable qwerty keyboard
phone and I love it already, although the screen does scratch easily.

I got this phone as a upgrade. It feels as a downgrade, meaning it came
out after the e71 and e72. Quality wise not as good as both of them.
It freezes about once a month. But the battery is very good and torch
function. Camera isn,t that good, nor is the speaker. Overall i,ts a
cheaper replacement for the e71& e72 Which may not be a bad thing, in
these times.

After all Nokia phones in the last 10 years I decided it was time for
a change and toyed with the idea of a Blackberry Bold then the E5 came
out and I had to have it. I was not disapointed at all the battery life
is excellent it has a good camera generaly pleasant overall feel.

More like a sidegrade dog's dinner than an upgrade! I've owned an N95
and an E71 and was hoping this phone would combine the best of both
- the 5MP camera of the N95 and over the air contact/cal (activesync)
of the E71 (unlike the abortive N97 I briefly owned last year). What
we actually have is something that's rather less than either. The camera
is much poorer than the N95, the screen is awful and unlike both N95/E71
I can't get the SIP VoIP to work. It's also, like all Nokia's, very
buggy. The assending ring tone feature seems to do nothing and the menus
are not only as hopeless as ever, but the icons rearanged (again). It's
ONLY saving feature is the support for HD voice (the reason I bought
it)... which is actually quite good, if you can find someone else mad
enough to buy one of the two Nokia phones (E5/5230) that support it.
This is the last Nokia I'm going to own... I gave them two years and
had 3 "flagship" phones, all with similar issues. For all their faults,
the iPhone and Android device are at least usable.

Update to Nola's review - the resolution on both the E5 and E71 is precisely
the same. However, the screen on the E5 is less forgiving of sunlight,
but brighter indoors at its highest setting. I'll take that tradeoff
since I live in a mostly dark country (UK). Apologies for the double
review but the record needed to be set straight. Cheers

Having owned an E71 for years and just upgraded to the E5, my first
thoughts are as follows (in no order): - Much much more RAM and better
processor - Application compatibility very similar to E71 - No longer
dedicated apostrophe key, now shift+L - Annoying auto-caps behaviour
leads to some bizarre keypresses if trying to enter usernames on sites
that require case sensitivity (less manageable than on the E71) - Battery
life still excellent - torch function most welcome and the camera is
as good as you need for random snapping - for those used to S60 the
interface is nicely tweaked and most default themes are solid - better
fonts with resizing etc - Email client much less flaky, less ugly, pleasant
to use and properly integrated with home screen In short, I like it
a lot.

I bought this phone. Kept it only 3 days. It is OK, but I couldn't live
with the screen, resolution was a great let down for me. I still have
my E71 so I found the screen res much too poor compared with that. Wanted
the E72, but decided against it because of the poor reviews regarding
its loudspeaker. I'll for an E series which upgrades the E72 from Nokia.
