Strengths: Spaciously designed, good screen size, has useful productivity tools

Weaknesses: No QWERTY keyboard, flash missing in camera and navigation might be slightly cumbersome for some people

I am not very fond of really tiny phones so when I chanced upon the Nokia E65 I was very surprised to note that such a sleek phone managed to capture so many features. The slider option of the phone added a lot of space to it as did the comfortably-sized keypad. Though the side buttons were a bit cumbersome to use, it worked fine once I got used to it.

The Nokia E65 is a good performer as a smart phone and though it might have an occasional slow-down moment, it continues to offer a decent level of service to the users. The screen is also quite large and though the phone is not very e-mail friendly, the screen is brightly lit and very comfortable to read in all situations. Personally, I felt that there was enough space to add a QWERTY keyboard and this would have made the phone a lot more useful.

Anyways, the Nokia E65 does offer other interesting features such as productivity tools which help users get more out of their mobile phone. However, the lack of a flash with the camera takes the phone back couple of notches on the technology front. Though some users do not find the navigation very easy on the phone, I found it to be OK and the slider option ensured that I do not accidentally press any numbers when the phone is in my purse.
