Nokia E52 Review , Specifications – Elegant Update to E51

Nokia recently updated its E51 candybar business phone with a new E52,  a S60 3.2.3 Edition running on the Symbian 9.3 OS core. The phone is loaded with all the top of line features of a business phone but with the numeric keyboard. It has a whopping 8 hour talktime, keeping in line with Nokia’s Business Phones of E Series. It has 3.2 Mega Pixel camera, A-GPS navigation (assisted GPS) , VOIP , Nokia mini Maps, Full internet Browser , Flash Lite and much more. Not to mention this is a 3G phone.

As usual first

The Looks and Coolness Factor

Not exactly a visual delight but its very rare to find a candybar phone without full keyboard in Business phones, and thats what E52 do. Nokia has E71 and E63 for Full Keyboard and Slider design in Business Class phones, and E52 is their Candybar/ Monoblock phone. One of main feautures of Nokia E51 was its stunning thin body and E52 has taken that to another level all together. You can call it one of the thinnest phones around even thinner than the original E51.

We are comparing E52 with other phones of candy bar nature to give you a better picture how this feels. For example E52 is exactly half the thinckness of N73 which is 19 mm thick.

Dimensions  – Length (Height) x Width x Thickness (all in Millimetres mm)

Comparison of E51,E52,N73,N78 and E71 in terms of Dimensions and Thickness.

Nokia E51     –  114  x 46 x 12  mm

Nokia  E52 – 116 x 49 x 9.9 mm

Nokia   N78 –  113  x 49 x 15.1 mm

Nokia  E71   –  114 x 57 x10 mm

Nokia N73 –   110 x 49 x 19 mm

Definitely the E52 and E71 beat the competition in terms of the thin factor.

Weight  (g – grams): (comparison of E51 , E52 , N73 , N78 , E71 in terms of Weight)

E51 – 100
