E63 - T-Mobile user (Best Apps and Quirks),
by R. Chin, 2010-01-25

T-MOBILE - For the price and service plan, can't be beat!

I bought it unlocked at a local large retail store for only $149.99 on sale + tax. Because it is unlocked, NO crippling T-Mobile software limitations and NO 2-YEAR contract! PLUS, instead of having to pay the (outrageous) $24.99 monthly internet access plan required of any "smart-Phone" purchased from T-mobile, I only have to pay $10.00 a month for unlimited access to the web! For me, the "EDGE" network is sufficient, but it would have been even better had the phone been able to access T-Mobile's 3G network (supposedly, E63 can access AT&T's 3G), can't ask too much from an unlocked phone that costs only $149 and a data plan that is only 10 bucks a month I suppose... ;)

Best Apps - Google Maps and Skyfire, must have's!

Google Maps alone is practically worth $10 a month. I love the "Show Traffic" and Streetview features! And though it is not GPS equipped and won't give you turn by turn instructions, it does a good job of triangulating/estimating your location from the cell towers, so you can use Google Maps to effectively search for things near you.

Skyfire - Version 1.5 was just made available, and this app works great at rendering most any webpage as you would see it on your computer, no more "mobile" versions of webpages! Youtube even looks better on the phone than the YouTube app itself, videos are often choppy though if you're not on WLAN/Wi-Fi.

Quirks:
1) No dedicated volume buttons/rocker - quickfix, just push the function key (key in the bottom left corner used to access numbers/unlock phone etc) and then toggle up or down using the center select key. I was frustrated at first when I was on a webpage and couldn't figure out how to change the volume, then I finally learned from another forum.

2) Need to use Nokia's Ovi music software to transfer .mp3 files onto your SD card. When I transferred my SIM card and SD Card from my old regular Nokia phone, I freaked out when my music files just would not show up on the phone. It took me a couple of days to figure out what to do.

3) Even if you're upgrading from an old Nokia phone, be patient in figuring out the User Interface / Menu format, not quite as intuitive as simpler Nokia phones, but once you get the hang of it, it's fine.

Overall, great value! Reasons I knocked it down to 4-Stars, no T-Mobile 3G access, and volume levels could be a little higher, but not a deal breaker. After 1 year, the savings from not having to pay the $24.99 smartphone internet plan will pay for the phone ($15 monthly savings x 12 = $180)

Final Note: Best protection I've found is the OtterBox Impact Series silicone skin, highly recommended. It's only available in black, but it provides better protection than your regular silicone skin and it is contoured nicely to fit comfortably and securely in your hand.

 

Love the phone but some things bug me,
by MJ, 2010-01-21

I love this phone: small enough, great feel, great software. Great sound quality. Love the wi-fi. Does take a bit of savvy to understand the menu options, but I dont mind that.

But the thing that bugs me :
The speaker volume isnt loud enough!! Whether I have it on handset mode or loudspeaker mode, I just cant hear the other person well enough!! Even my old piece-of-junk cheap samsung is louder than this! I'm surprised such a basic feature is bad..

 

app-less,
by Chris Henderson, 2010-01-07

it is an ok phone but due to a lack in users there is also a lack in apps

 

This is a very good cell phone,
by Xin Zhou, 2009-12-28

This is an economy and powerful 3G phone even it doesn't supply the best 3G functions comparing with new models (E71, E72), we actually don't need that many functions, most of cases we need a phone with reasonable price and reliable functions, this is the one better than most of US phones.
