The Nokia E55 is a limited edition E52. The good thing is the half-QWERTY handset is not limited in any way compared to its mainstream sibling. OK, save perhaps in terms of demand. But Nokia must be aware of that and know their market well enough. We guess it makes sense to duplicate a great package thats likely to sell very well just to test a concept, which the company is trying for the first time. read more →
- Compact metallic body and extra slim girth (9.9mm)
- Quad-band GSM support
- 3G with HSDPA 10.2 Mbps and HSUPA 2 Mbps
- half-QWERTY keyboard
- 2.4" 16M-color display of QVGA resolution
- Disappointing camera features and performance
- Video recording maxes out at VGA@15fps
- No DivX or XviD support (can be installed, possibly requiring a purchase)
- No TV-out functionality
- Keyboard takes some time getting used to (not too long though)
The testing stage of the review was followed by a meeting behind closed doors where we unanimously arrived at the conclusion the Nokia E55 was worth the money, despite the mediocre in-call quality. Why? It sports an almost perfect screen that remains usable in direct sunlight, good keyboard, wonderful browser, extremely capable email client and the necessary organizer functions to meet the needs of highly demanding customers. read more →

The Nokia E55 will please both business-users and multimedia-minded consumers because of its slim profile, packed features, and wallet-friendly price. read more →
- The Nokia E55 is a superslim smartphone that is both business-centric and multimedia-smart. It has a 3.2-megapixel camera, a 3.5mm headset jack, Wi-Fi, support for American 3G bands, and Bluetooth. It is surprisingly affordable for an unlocked phone and has great call quality, too.
- The Nokia E55's hybrid keyboard may not be for everyone, and the keys felt a bit squishy as well.
The Nokia E55 is impressively slim, has great battery life and is easy to use. The hybrid keypad may not be to everyone's taste, but, once mastered, it's surprisingly effective. Not everyone will love the Nokia E55's keypad, but it works surprisingly well once you've mastered it. It's not just the E55's keypad that impresses, though. It's also amazingly slim for a smartphone, has very long battery life, and offers good messaging features, making it easy to recommend. read more →
- Hybrid alphanumeric/QWERTY keypad works surprisingly well
