I did it. I decided to get the beautiful, new Nokia E65. This device is truly a perfect match between beauty and brains. It's stylish and slim yet incredibly powerful.
I've taken a number of photos of the device, including comparison shots of the Nokia E65 and the Nokia E50, E60, E70, E62 and the Nokia N80.
Update: I included some more comparison shots, including photos of the E65 and the N80.
One driving factors behind the purchase was the four dedicated voice keys of the Nokia E65 that I wrote about previously. It's so simple and so smart - to have dedicated conference call and mute keys!
Of course, it is also crucial for me that I can get my corporate email on the device. There are plenty of email solutions available for the Nokia E65 - BlackBerry Connect, Mail For Exchange (ActiveSync), Visto Mobile and Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email to mention a few.
So what are my very, very first impressions?
- Great slider mechanism. Very solid, yet *slides*
- Don't know what the outer material is of the device but it has a very nice feel!
- Battery life seems very good - 1000 mAh
- Good camera 2 MP (I'll post pictures later)
- Excellent voice quality (after all it's a Nokia
A friend picked up the device for me in Europe. He got rid of all the packaging to avoid any questions from the customs' officers. So sadly, there will be no Nokia E65 unboxing photos.
But I did take plenty of comparison shots.

I’ve had my e65 for about 6 weeks now and I’m having the notorious key backlight failing. Going to call Nokia today for repair
Other than that…. hands down, it’s the best phone I’ve ever used.
Hi.
Got the E65 about a week ago. Having no current problems. I suggest to new users who are having problems with it, use the manual given! It really does help. I have my music, pictures etc.
My only downfall, is that it takes pictures lesser quality than i thought it would be, but i dont mind!
I recently got an excellent voice recognition program which will transcribe .wav files. Is there anyway to record wav files on my E65, so that I can do dictation without my laptop?
Thanks

Perhaps a hard reset could fix this problem.

What a crap it is!
I want to warn all people considering this model. Don’t! I’ve made a mistake of entrusting in the brand and not checking any independent forums _before_ purchase.
Got one a few days ago - it was a brand new model, but had to have the simlock taken off, as networks didn’t match. This voids my warranty to each I intelligently agreed. I remember me saying to the guy - well the phone is new and Nokia is reliable, so why bother.
Now, the keypad light is gone and I’m impatiently waiting for all other problems to develop. How thrilling.
I’ll dump this crap through an auction site in a two months or so, when I will renew my contracts. Hope the auction will be popular. After all, if someone badly neeeds this phone, they can buy it for half the price and already broken.
Oh, and bloody texting has been modified in a way that “reduced language support” which earlier allowed for special characters in my languge to be converted to non-accented latin letters, no longer works. It works bloody the same as “full support” so why bother putting this option in the first place (did work in past models though). Now each SMS is 62 or something characters long. How briliant. I’m sure all the operators are so grateful.
I’m gona convert to fridge-like handsets by LG. I &%%$&(# promise.
I purchased a brand new E65 a week ago…

Otoide poweroff phone and turn on this will make the keys work again.It seems it has a software bug.
Man this E65 toy is a mess. I bought one recently only to discover the same night the keypad lights don’t function. Do i have to light a candle or light with a k750i torch to dial my girlfriend. Nokia sucks
I bought an E65 two months ago. The keypad had no light. I gave it to Nokia service. They cept it for a month and they gave it back to me with no problems. After a week the keypad had no light again!!! I will give it back again and I will ask to replase it with a new one. After this I agree: Nokia sucks!
