hey just to let everyone know phonesourceusa have it on sale for dollar 500
 
nice find but that's just way too expensive IMO. How sad is it that we were looking at spy shots of this phone 3 weeks ago and it's already been released. Are we to wait a full year before the N95 and N75 are released?
 
I know seriously. It may be due to the fact that they want to get the N95 "right" because they have built a lot of steam behind it. The N75 is plagued due to cingular (imo), but the E65 is a "simple" phone so they were able to get that bad boy out the door -
 
I agree with Newtype. Like the iPhone, there's a lot of things that are going into that N95 which they really need to make sure is functioning properly before launch. Granted, it still won't be perfect at launch, it'll still be usably stable for mass production.

The same goes for Nokia not releasing phones with UMTS 850/1900at 3GSM. People expect it to be just that easy. You think Cingular is just going to roll over and say "Oh, okay." if they were to do that? Of course not. That's why we haven't seen the N75 yet and why they haven't even tried to get another one out. Cingular cried about the N80, they're crying about the N75, and they'd cry with any other attempts Nokia might suggest for US 3G. We may be looking at T-Mobile's partnership with Nokia for UMTS 1700 handsets as our only hope.

Sorry for the rant, but I've been thinking about it all day.
 
You probably aren't far from the truth. I think Cingular just doesn't see the benefit of roling over for Nokia since they are selling those crap, simple, LGs with their 3G. Nokia NEEDS Cingular if they want to have any type of foothold in the states, so perhaps that is why they are letting the massive carrier have their way.

It's a good thing I don't care about data too much (right now anyway)...I'll continue to buy unlocked phones as long as I can -

this is the link if anyone wants to check it out
 
of course if they wait too long those monsterous specs will diminish and it may fall into the "cool", "neat" phone category rather than the HOLY ***K category it was in 6 months ago. At this point, fp2 is such a big story that the next flagship device they announce will be packed with that and the plain jane fp1 n95 will be old news and we'll be chomping at the bit for another phone....hell...i'm almost to that point with the E90. Throw a 5mp or 3.2 mpCZ w/ tv-out and 30fps video and the N95 would already be an afterthought.
 
ugghh..the press photos make it look like a fugly *** phone IMO. Live shots do it more justice but it still doesnt elicit any excitement out of me. How many E's are they going to drop before we get to the next N. I hardly consider the N93i a new release as it's tri-band and a marginal n93 upgrade. I remember when the Nseries was the main focus of Nokia and people thought that they were heading in that direction full steam ahead.....there was even talk about the demise of S40 due to the popularity and attention the N series was getting. Now we're seeing E series flow as freely as a deuce in the wind.
 
I don't understand what you hate about this phone.

I think it's beautifull, its functions are very complete, it is relatively thin, and it's price is right.

Note that this is my personal opinion
 
What are the four dedicated keys? There's a contact button, group call button, a customizable button, and, what's the one with the slash?

Too many buttons, not enough functions.
 
Oh. . .wow. . .please forgive my sarcasm. My carrier barely allows 3-way calling, much less conference calling. I can't remember the last time I used the Mute feature other than when my E70 had a goofy firmware that defaulted the right soft key to it while on a call, and Contacts has always been pretty accessible. I don't know. I'm sure somebody will love this phone, but it's not my cup of tea.
 
I actually like this phone 2MP (bugged about no flash), and WLAN support within, only BTv1.2 but its with A2DP. VOIP support with applications shipping with it by 3 major providers AND PBX support!

HUGE overall features, that you're too blind to see. I don't see those features supported by the E61, but i"m sure even that device is capable of it.

This phone is very small and stylish, would be nice if those dedicated keys can be remapped to your choice of applications instead of just 1 key to do so.

Think of it as a sleeker N80 and you'll be just fine.
 
Initially I thought that E65 would have the 352 x 416 resolution (as it was stated on some websites) but unfortunately it's not the case. I wonder if it has the same camera as in N70, N91 and E70. These three phones have the best video recording among 2 megapixel cameras, and they even beat N73. When I had the N91 I tried video recording in almost pitch black. The framerate didn't drop at all, and there was no noise whatsoever, and no bluish effect like in N73. Also, I wonder about the external speaker quality.
 
That screen resolution is dead. Nokia announced that they were dropping it for QVGA and VGA (hopefully) back in August I think it was.
