| Nokia E75 |
| Full review » Scoreboard » Features » Gallery » |
 The Nokia E75 is more than a slider version of the Nokia E71 (or Nokia E71x on AT&T). Many of the problems we had with the latter phone have been worked out, leaving us with a more polished and pleasant device. In fact, the Nokia E75 is our new favorite among Nokia's Eseries business phones, and it's one of the best business-focused phones on the market. For features and productivity software, the E75 can't be beat, with advanced Office editing tools that beat similar Windows Mobile devices, and a better Web browser, camera and multimedia kit than most BlackBerry phones. The design is slim and solid, and we think it will appeal to buyers who don't want an obtrusive QWERTY slab up front, but would rather have a stylish phone with a hidden, sliding keyboard. Plus, the keyboard itself is wide and comfortable to use. The aging Symbian S60 interface drags the phone down a bit, and some of the signature features, like the Business / Personal switch, didn't live up to our expectations. Still, we think this phone should have appeal beyond the unlocked market, and serious business users tired of the same old touchscreen tablet or QWERTY slab would do well to give this phone a look. Release: May 2009. Price: $380.
Pros: Sleek, slim design with a full QWERTY keyboard and solid materials. Loaded with great features for business and personal use.
Cons: Symbian OS is ugly and not intuitive. Interface in every app could use polish and modern look. Camera lags behind better Nokia phones.

| Nokia 5800 |
| Full review » Scoreboard » Features » Gallery » |
 Besides some quirks and strange choices, the Nokia 5800 is actually a nice phone. Calls sounded good, and battery life was strong. The phone has solid music, video, Web browsing and GPS features, and even though none of these are exceptional, they're all robust and quite capable compared to other multimedia phones out there. On the other hand, we had hoped to see a more polished interface design, better camera and an overall multimedia performance that could match the N series smartphones, but it seems like we'll have to wait and see if the Nokia N97 can work some real magic there. In our opinion, Nokia also needs some new ideas about finger controls. Attaching two different styli to the phone just won't cut it, especially when remembering that Windows phones with only one stylus attached are already in trouble. Release: March 2009. Price: $320.
Pros: Music sounds good. Microsoft Exchange support for e-mail, contacts and calendar. Solid Web browser. Responsive touchscreen.
Cons: Mediocre camera performance. Too many hardcoded onscreen keyboard options. S60 5th Edition doesn't provide the real XpressMusic experience.

| Nokia 7205 |
| Full review » Scoreboard » Features » Gallery » |
 The Nokia 7205 is a stylish, beautiful clamshell with an impressive set of features and even some real innovative ideas, especially the dymanic Habitat standby screens. Unfortunately, nothing on the phone worked quite as well as it should have. We liked the external OLED display, but we've seen better on other Nokia phones, like the Nokia 7510 on T-Mobile. The Habitat idea is an interesting way to keep recently used contacts and messages close at hand, but the system wasn't very intuitive, even though it looked very cool. Like most Nokia phones, the Nokia 7205 uses a brilliant, colorful display, but this was mostly wasted on a clumsy menu system and poor video performance, not to mention a Web browser that can hardly handle a mobile Web page, let alone a full HTML site. Music controls were limited, video was disappointing. The phone is saved by its style and great call quality. Calls sounded very good, and the phone has all of our favorite calling features. As a slim, simple phone, the Nokia would be a great choice. But as an advanced, somewhat pricey multimedia powerhouse, it comes up short. Release: March 2009. Price: $100.
Pros: Very stylish, with a zen-like interface. Very good call quality with plenty of calling features. Impressive GPS navigation performance.
Cons: Habitat interface not as intuitive as competitors like MyFaves on T-Mobile. Music and video playback were disappointing. Browser was very basic. Messaging features were lacking.

| Nokia E71 |
| Full review » Scoreboard » Features » Gallery » |
 The Nokia E71 is a great slab-style QWERTY phone, better than almost any on the market. It has a slimmer, cooler design than the Motorola Q9h or the Samsung BlackJack 2, and it can handle almost all of the business tools that those Windows Mobile 6.1 phones use. It doesn't have all of the carrier amenities that we usually ignore anyway, like over-the-air music downloads and streaming video clips, and it could be more localized for U.S. users. Still, we had no problem setting up the phone for our Exchange ActiveSync business e-mail, and all of our favorite business features, like tethered modem support and Office Document handling, worked nicely. The biggest challenge this phone faces is competing with the ultra-low, carrier subsidized prices of its competitors, but if you want the top of the line phone in this form factor, the Nokia E71 is an easy choice. Release: July 2008. Price: $500.
Pros: Great design with a comfortable keyboard and a slim, slick case. Fast networking on AT&T's 3G network. Plenty of features, including GPS, Wi-Fi and Exchange support.
Cons: Setup could be confusing for the U.S. audience. Exchange AciveSync drains the battery significantly. Camera is lousy.

| Nokia E66 |
| Full review » Scoreboard » Features » Gallery » |
 The Nokia E66 is a fine business phone, and a great, small alternative for users who want a slick design inside and out, paired with loads of great features. The phone has great options for business users, including Exchange server support and a robust Office suite, though not everything is as easy to use as it might be on a carrier-supported phone, and we found ourselves frequently searching for server settings, additional apps and instructions, all to get the phone working on this country's most popular carrier. Once all the settings were in place, we were continually surprised by how feature-rich and powerful this device can be. A little smoothing for U.S. buyers and a great unlocked price would make this a very compelling phone indeed. Release: July 2008. Price: $500.
Pros: Solid, classy design. Great keys. Live, while-you-type searching for contacts. Great Web browser.
Cons: Many features cost extra, like navigation and Quickoffice. Networking seemed slow in our tests. Could have more multimedia features, like the Nseries.
