Reviews
-
Nokia N97
The N97 features class-leading specs matched with outstanding design and build, but it loses marks for the Symbian platform that desperately needs an overhaul to stay competitive.
-
Nokia 6730 Classic
Vodafone branded, the 6730 offers a lot of Nokia's high-end features in a (hopefully) low-price package. Expect decent email and GPS-guided navigation, plus Nokia's always excellent phone features.
-
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic
Nokia's latest touchscreen music phone is so similar to its last you'd be forgiven for thinking they were the same.
-
Nokia E72
Nokia will launch a successor to its hugely popular E71 in the third quarter of 2009, with a small range of improvements to reflect the name change.

-
Nokia E75
Nokia's E75 looks the part and mostly performs well too, but its single day battery life is a major let-down when compared to last year's E-Series offerings.
-
Nokia E52
As a part of the E-Series family, the E52 is a bit of a black sheep. It's a messaging phone, but it doesn't have a QWERTY or dual-QWERTY keyboard. Perhaps its extraordinary battery life will come to its rescue.
