if you read closely the press release info it says "..while lifestyle features include an MP3 player and optionally a 1.3 mega pixel camera." So, this "phone" does not have a camera. So, how much of a multimedia phone is it when it lacks one of the most popular multimedia features?

But hey, how many times does Nokia make a slim phone?? so, this could be a good deal. I never use the camera on my phones. So, i'd take one.

cheers!]]>May 18th 2006 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/
the VIOP feature sounds pretty awesome though]]>May 18th 2006 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/
Therefore, "business-class" phones really should be full-featured (data, screens) but *NOT* include cameras.]]>May 18th 2006 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/May 18th 2006 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/Also, people need to start selling phones that actually work everywhere (quad-band is overhyped). Does this work in Korea or Japan? Quite a few people do business in Asia (me) and they need phones that can work in America and Asia. Right now, most people have to rent. Me? I've got a Sharp 903 unlocked from Japan that works everywhere...]]>May 18th 2006 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/
Actually, the E61 is quad-band, and pretty thin. If it's thinner than that, that is kind of impressive.]]>May 18th 2006 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/How international is Engadget? I mean you all keep showing us the coolest phones that aren't available here. It's tantalizing and frustrating!

Like, I want the N-73. How can I possibly get one and use it on my small rural (Unicel) provider?

I think Nokia has lost the plot with business phones - that's why I still have my 6100 - small and light.

If I want a huge block I can buy one of those from anyone..]]>May 22nd 2006 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/It is a very disappointing to have to think out of the box (The USA Market) for my next mobile business phone but that is exactly what I am doing! I want to respond to the contact who mentioned the Sharp 903 unlocked phone "THANK YOU!" which works in all markets ...Is this true? I am looking for one TOO! ...

Nokia has some of the best problem free phones in the market in my opinion but they must be intentionally holding back what business travelers are looking for...

Business travelers now want universal phones with a quality camera built-in....I travel overseas and need a universal phone... I do not want to rent a phone in each country I visit...ALL Band Widths, WIFI, Full key board built-in ... Who wants to sell it to me? The "E" series Nokia phones (E70) appeared the most universal ... Is it true?... Until I heard about the the Sharp 903 unlocked working around the world? Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia & the USA Unlocked? I got to check this out! ]]>Aug 13th 2006 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/http://www.about-nokia.com/blog/index.php?itemid=362

Nico, NokiaLand, Finland]]>Nov 10th 2006 7:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/
The following are some of the problems i`m facing right now..

The phone restarts when a call is in a progres.This happens twice-thrice per day.

Battery dosen`t last more than 18hrs including stand by time...

Very sluggish and response is very poor..

I may have got those unlucky model .. but.. that`s what has been the case with my Nokia E50 !! ]]>Dec 21st 2006 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/nokias-e50-business-class-quad-band-cellphone/
This phone is not working in South Korea and Japan,since they are using CDMA ... Quad band is not enough to use it in these two countries..

Take good care..]]>Aug 31st 2007 6:34AM
