The E6 is a good final grade, with some key improvements in the OS, but Symbian impress the faithful. It is a good phone, though few U.S. customers will need.Design, quality of calls and applications
More than any other Nokia phones, the BlackBerry Bold E6 seems that someone has successfully installed the operating system. 4.5 2.3 E6 measures 0.4 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.7 ounces. It is made of quality-feeling black plastic, with a pronounced chrome-accented version of the front rim, silver and white, which are listed on the Nokia website, but could not find available in the United States, one from 2.5-inch capacitive touch screen is a small miracle,
since it contains very strong resolution 640 x 480 pixels and a good sense of feedback, it seems very nice person.
For the accelerometer, compass, proximity sensor and ambient light sensor, the first two are common in touchscreen phones, but usually not in this form factor. Writing is a full QWERTY keyboard is as easy as one of the BlackBerry, though a bit 'tight, and the display is particularly sensitive to the device based on Symbian.E6 is a quad-band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) HSDPA and five 10.2 (850/900/1700/1900/2100 MHz) devices 802.11 b / g / n Wi-Fi. It offers several options for data connections, regardless of where in the world you are. You can also use it as a mobile Wi-Fi and, depending on the floor operator, which is an unusual and welcome feature for Symbian phones.
Call quality in my tests was generally good. Phone callers sounded clear and full, and everyone said it sounded good. The reception was good, the only mistake was that it took several minutes for each launch, re-registered as AT & T SIM card that I used, until the shop door automatic login failed every time, and I could only call the emergency phone calls. The combination of Symbian Bluetooth is a complex process, and the phone absolutely refused to pair with my Jawbone was aliphatic ($ 129, 4 stars) or the Samsung HM6450 Modus ($ 99, 4 stars), Bluetooth headphones, even after reboot . Battery life was insignificant 4 hours and 52 minutes of conversation.
The Nokia E6 offers a 680MHz, single-core ARM11 processor, not the Android fast rules, but a lot for a Symbian phone. However, the operating system is too complex, too sub-menus, and even appear as dialog boxes too numerous for common tasks. It's a little easier to move data at ultra-high screen resolution, leaving more space around the icons and allows small fonts.
With regard to third-party applications, Nokia Ovi Store is mostly a bust and on the way anyway. But Nokia compensate by loading up E6 with many applications, including Shazam, YouTube, Psiloc World Traveler, Vlingo, and a photo editor. You can also get the free Nokia maps with voice command, turn-by-turn GPS navigation. The WebKit browser is a little awkward, but does a good job of making HTML pages office. Nokia phones have always distinguished themselves on the e-mail with lots of hooks for Webmail, Microsoft Exchange Server and other POP and IMAP, but if you're a heavy user of Google services, you should stick with an Android unit .
Multimedia, a camera and conclusions
You get 8GB of internal memory and a microSD card slot. Non-standard sized headphone jack 3.5 mm, which includes TV-out support, and there is an FM radio for those who still listen to it. Aside from MP3 and AAC music files sounded clear through the Modus Bluetooth Headset Samsung HM6450, A2DP, at least seemed to work properly. App music is fun, and smooth scrolling album covers look sharp and vibrant. Standalone video files played smoothly in full screen mode, but because the aspect ratio of 4:3 and a small LCD display, this is truly the phone for watching movies.
Nokia phones are famous for their quality cameras, the E6 continues the tradition with an 8 megapixel sensor with dual LED flash, geotagging and support. No auto-focus, but it did not matter in my tests, photographs of the sample looked good inside and out, with detail levels that were virtually indistinguishable from a separate camera point and shoot. Only a spectrum of colors a bit off and the excess grain with the flash in a dark room gave the game away mobile home. Recorded in high definition 1280 x 720 pixels video looked a little dark, but played smoothly at 25 frames per second, and showed a data rate of 12Mbps. A secondary VGA camera live in front of the phone for video conversations.
