Nokia E63 Budget BlackBerry Beater Unveiled Comments

Well if its any where near as good as the E71 (which I bought based on the review) it seems like a bargin phone.
My E71 seems to last forever without charging as well, I'm averaging about a week with moderate use of it.

Is it just me, or does this seem like it would be a better deal than E71.
Now only if Nokia strip down the price considerably, i just might upgrade my E61i.
I dont really care for HSDPA/GPS.

Looking around at E71 contract prices, it can be had from as little as £25 per month, with 300 minutes/texts... the SIM-only equivalent of this is about £15p/m, meaning over 18 months you'd be spending about £180 for the handset - that's my thinking anyway. I may opt for this offer.
Thanks for this update, Gordon!

I just saw some suggested prices for an unlocked version of this, and if they are right,
at launch, this would cost just half of what E71 was. Brilliant.

@Gordon - Please mod this if advertising isn't allowed... Found at Three.
Checking now, it looks to be only £20p/m on the 300 minute tariff, £23p/m on the 500 minute tariff (not sure about web traffic restrictions though). They have the white and the grey model.

Just wanted to add something I missed out on when I got my E71 (because it was after work and I was half asleep). The Three website lists the phone as including 50 videocall minutes. I went to a 3 store and told them I wanted the E71 + 500M&M Tariff. After sitting down, giving my details etc. I was told it would be a total of £23 on an 18month contract OR I could remove the videpack and pay just £18/month. Overtaken with feelings of technological advancement (and I was sleepy so couldn't make decisions clearly), I decided to keep the video pack, only realising much later that I probably wouldn't make video calls that often anyway.

Sorry for rambling on, but I hope that can be of some use to someone :).

Wow! They should shift lots of these. The keyboard really does blow any blackberry's out of the water. Hope the blue/redness doesn't look quite so cheap and toyish in real life though...?
