Nokia E50

16 Jan, 2007, 11:45 am IST | Aalaap Ghag | Smartphones

Battery Life
The rated battery life of the E50 stands around over 6 hours of talk time or 9 days of stand by. With just about an hour of talk time and a decent amount of GPRS usage, I wasn’t able to make the phone last more than two and a half days. Because of the new style charger, I was unable to recharge the phone in my car. Maybe I should get myself one of those adapters and keep it in the car.

This can be another reason why I haven’t bought this phone yet. With my Samsung E880, I get over 4 days of stand by with concise talk, but of course the E50 is a smartphone with a bigger screen.

Conclusion
The E50 is the cheapest S60 3rd Edition smartphone available at Rs. 13,000. With a very sedate design, a great screen and a good set of software and connectivity options, the phone won me over, but the average camera and battery performance keeps me from buying it.
