Nokia E63



The Nokia E63 is a budget Symbian business smartphone announced by Nokia in November of 2008, and released in December of the same year.

The E63 was a downscaled version of the more premium E71 that was released earlier, with a downgraded camera and lacking a metal design, HSDPA and GPS support. The E63 added a 3.5mm jack, rather than the E71's 2.5mm jack.

Issues

 * The phone has no power button, instead the call end key doubles as a power button. This forces the user to go to the home screen if they want to open the power menu, for example to lock the keypad or change profiles.
 * If the battery is even slightly swollen, the back cover won't close properly, leaving small gaps on the sides.
 * The protective cap for the 3.5mm headphone jack can easily get lost, as it's not permanently attached to the phone.

Variants

 * E63-1 (RM-437)
 * E63-2 (RM-449): North American version of the E63.
 * E63-3 (RM-450)
 * E63 China (RM-600): Chinese version of the E63 which lacks WLAN support.
