3 Stars Nice phone, serious problem…
This phone has a lot of great features and it’s really nice, it takes some time to get used to the menu… the main problem i found is that it has some kind of leathery paint that peels off when i carry it in my pocket, so i don’t recommend carrying it in your jeans pocket on days off… now it looks really bad…

5 Stars Nokia E65
This telephone is great. It works like a charm. If you own a windows base, imagine never having to reset your phone.

3 Stars Nice Phone!!
It’s nice, have a lot of features but still, the camera is only 2 mg.

5 Stars Excellent choice for international travel
This phone is compact, attractive, and powerful. It’s hard to believe Nokia packed as much into this phone as they did. One of the best features is its ability to make “Internet calls” over a wi-fi connection. I use Vonage for my home phone service, so all I had to do was add a “softphone” to my service plan, enter the connection setings into my E65, join any available wi-fi network anywhere in the world, and I am instantly able to place and receive calls without using my wireless service provider at all! Now when I am in Hong Kong on business I can sit in my hotel room and call home FOR FREE! Likewise, my husband can call me using a local number and reach me wherever I may be in the world (as long as I am connected to a wi-fi network). I can also check email and browse the web on my new phone, watch my Slingbox using their mobile player, listen to audiobooks, use the built-in calendar to keep organized, sync my address book with my Mac using iSync, and the list goes on… True the camera is not the greatest in the world, but this is a phone after all. When I want to take memorable photos I’ll use a real camera. It’s fine for sending a quick picture message to somebody though. I feel that this little gadget is well worth what I payed for it… and it is kind of cool not to have to carry around the same RAZR clone as everybody else! My one and only gripe is the lack of stereo bluetooth… I’d like to be able to use a pair of bluetooth headphones (real headphones, not the little one earpiece thing) but they are not compatible. Oh yeah, I use T-mobile here in the USA and had absolutely no problem getting this phone to work. I can access my voicemail, T-zones, etc just as if it were a T-mobile branded phone.

4 Stars Has the features I wanted and more
My typical usage comprises of text messaging, a handful of calls and browsing the web. This is my first smartphone and so having the capability to open business documents, a built-in html/xhtml browser, wi-fi and gps* are all considerable upgrades from my previous phone. The Nokia E65 will not replace a video or digital camera, ipod, radio or gaming console. I am fine with that since I did not choose it with these add-on capabilities in mind. Its weight and thickness are to my liking. It may not be razor thin but it still remains unobtrusive when tuckered into a jeans front pocket. Here is the rest of my review:

- The phone, bought through Amazon two months ago, has extra [Chinese?] characters on keys 1-5 and # along with Roman alphabet. Yes, I was a bit disappointed at first but getting this keypad version was likely. It is mentioned on Amazon’s site and other seller websites that this cell phone is mostly sourced internationally.

- MY startup times** are 43 seconds with the memory card, i.e. seven seconds from the time the on button is pushed to the white screen with ‘NOKIA’ logo. Another 36 seconds to the menu. 37 seconds without the memory card, i.e. seven seconds before the first splash screen appears and 30 seconds to menu.

- I wanted a slider design and my other choice was an SE W580i. I found its keypad cramped.

- I like how the phonebook search works by matching each character in the order it is typed. On my old phone, only the first character of the contact name is searchable then I had to scroll down the list.

- Wizard for setting up internet access point detected both AT&T Medianet and T-Mobile T-zones. Although I had to modify one setting in T-zones to make it work.

- Humming or buzzing sound emanates from the unit and is, apparently, normal (from what is noted on Nokia forum). It is audible in a really quiet environment. The sound stops when the backlight timeout kicks in.

- There is only one alarm setting and it needs to be reset daily.

- The case creaks when typing a message. My solution is to place a small folded rectangular paper as padding over the sim card area just above the latch.

- The plating below the navigation buttons is prone to smudges since this is where one would typically push to slide up. I covered the area with a screen protector as a remedy.

- A charge lasts three to four days based on my usage with both bluetooth and wi-fi scanning disabled. One week on standby.

* Only if I am crazy enough to shell out more dollars in addition to regular cell phone service.

** Counted as the seconds tick on my watch.

4 Stars Steady charge.
Did a pretty good charging up my old bulky Nokia cell phone. Charge time was quick enough.

Only drawback, and a minor one, is the lenght of the cord. An overall reliable travel charger for your Nokia.

5 Stars As described
Item was as described, brand new. I’m the dummy that bought the wrong one so that’s not anyone’s fault but mine.

2 Stars Works Okay But Cheap Rubber Cord Doesn’t Last Long!
I got this when I got a Nokia 6600 years back and while the Nokia 6600 lasted very well and I really liked it and I only had to replace it when the on/off button got spoiled after 5 years I found that I had little use for the car charger as I also had a spare battery with me and so it turned out to be an impulse buy with little use for me. However, it does work okay and if you are the kind who spends hours in your car then this may be very useful should your battery dies when you need it the most. Another thing I found about this charger is the rubber/plastic covering the wire is cheap and started to turn white and then flake off after a while making it useless after that. I guess you get what you pay for and for the price advertised one shouldn’t expect too much quality although the Nokia name has been tarnished a little for having itself associated with such a cheaply produced item.

1 Star This does NOT fit a nokia N75. I was sadly dissapointed
The description said this would fit my Nokia N75. It did not. I was very dissapointed. Buyer beware.

5 Stars It works!
Not much to say…it plugs in and charges your phone. I couldn’t ask for anything more!
