Readers, I am testing a new phone, the Nokia E62 from
Cingular. The Nokia E62 is the 'light' version of the Nokia E61, which eliminates
3G and WiFi from the line up. In addition to testing the phone itself, I
am also testing Blackberry Connect, which I find has little written about this
fascinating expansion for Blackberry into non-native devices.
So far, my first impressions are very positive, the phone has a great form
factor, and the screen is incredibly crisp. I was concerned that I might
be facing a steep learning curve adapting to the new menus (to me that is) of
the Symbian Series 60 UI, especially after using Motorola devices for so long,...
but then again I was a long term tester for the Windows based Seimens SX-66,
and the Palm Treo 650… yet so far it seems rather easy and natural to navigate
within the device.
After I have had the phone for a week I will detail my thoughts and experiences
in a review, so expect something new in the pipeline soon!
