Basic features like adjustable snooze and schedulling phone calls using built in Calendar are missing. At least you can install 3rd party apps that compensate these issues. Battery life could be better too, fonts adjustable (this too can be fixed) etc. Be aware it's not a phone for granny, but for experienced users who can 100% customize it to their needs. However, the phone is the most elegant I ever saw. I love it.

A piece of junk, keep restarting itself, freeze every time there's a phone call, if your inbox message is full and after sending message want to go to inbox sometimes freeze, if using the application to fast it's froze again, the joystick hurting your finger. I got this to nokia center twice and they didn't do anything and i have to buy another phone.

my e50-2 (no camera) failed within 1 month, it was repaired by nokia, I later found out they had changed it for another repaired phone. 1 month later again failed, phone froze again and 121 messages would not stop nor would the phone switch off. Had to remove battery. 6 weeks later screen went black in middle of a call. Nokia refused to repair as they said I had SAT on it. If I had it would have broken into many pieces I can assure you, I am not the smallest guy in the world. Lost all faith in Nokia and Vodaphone. At end of contract both my agreements will change. 3 breakdowns (crashes) in just over 3 months is more than just a coincidence. Poor value, poor quality and poor help from Nokia and Vodaphone.

Most of the complaints seem to be from people who aren't used to Symbian phones. Really, before whining that the active standby menu can't be changed, try reading the handbook - of course they can: the phone works, you don't! All Symbian phones will crash if you don't shut down applications that are running in the background. Shifting from a 6310i (for example) to an E50 is a big change, as the former is not a smartphone. The E50 is far more powerful, but as a result it is more complex and therefore takes some getting used to before you can reap all the benefits of this. I have had this phone now for a year, and it's my second Symbian smartphone, and I've mostly owned Nokias for the past 13 years or so. I'd say it's the best so far, not without its faults but I like the lack of whizz-bang gimmicks, walkman buttons and so on, especially when I can run Tom-Tom on it with a bluetooth GPS receiver and save the hassle of carrying around a separate satnav. In fact, although mine happens to have the camera in it, I'd happily forego it to have WLAN or even 3G. That is really the only thing missing from this phone, assuming you really do want a phone and not a portable entertainment centre. By the way, one feature of smartphones is that they can be customised by adding new applications, so rather than whinging about the limited abilities of the alarm clock, or whatever, you can just download a third-party app that has the features you want. I think the majority of people who don't like this phone simply didn't know what they were buying, and thus made a bad choice. It's an excellent piece of kit, bit obviously not for everyone.

You have to take out the battery to bring back to normal. 2) Now i can read SMS on phone. 3) Most of the time signals drop down & if u see around most the people are taking comfortably riding on same service provider. 4) Phone gets hanged even if u pick a call 4 out 10 times.

Shame. It's a smart sleek phone but it runs like a fat pig against the wind, up hill. No problem with the font size..except I like to use my mobile instead of a watch, but can't really see the screensaver time. The joystick is next to useless and all the extra buttons are superflous. Funny how people either rate it 5 stars (the purchaser), or 1 star (the end user). This is such a awful phone that for the first time ever I am considering buying my own phone for personal use even though I can use this as much as I like for free! 1 star from me.

My needs: 1: To make phone calls. 2: Reminder for calendar function. 3: Easy to use and quick menu function What i Got 1: Buttons to small for a man to use unless you have girly hands. 2: Calendar works but navigation can be eratic due to phone being so slow around menus. 3: Phone locks up, is slow as mentioned above and crashes, reboots or locks up for upto 30 seconds. Tells me i have voice mail on every reboot 4: This i believe is down to poor software or the phone not being upto the software, probably the later Good points: Metal body. Screen Size and brightness Bad points: Poor battery if using bluetooth for car kit all day. Software or phone not upto job Replacment ordered.

Didn't get a far as making a call as the interface is so slow that I lost patience. Threw it straight in the bin! Gone back once again to my old Nokia 6100, which is small (60cc), light (79g), with strong vibration alert, excellent battery life (over a week with a BL5C) and has a responsive interface. Why do phones get worst every year? i.e. bigger, slower, run out of battery every 24 hours and the vibrate so weak you keep missing calls. Just make me a small phone that works! Please!

These reviews are so polarised! I think it is a good phone, excellent value for money, and it does everything I want. The screen is very clear and text can be clearly seen. It syncronises with Outlook using Nokia PC Suite. I had an old 3210e and the E50's signal strength is far superior. If there is a gripe it is the hands free claim as the speaker cannot be heard whilst driving .... but I have an old noisy car. I've purchased the Nokia bluetooth hands free kit and that problem should be solved. The other problem I had was with Orange. I could not get a WAP/email connection. After many fruitless calls (being told to re-regiser the SIM card .... or have a new package .... or I'll call you back ... ha! ha!)I eventually found a guy who knew what he was talking about and he sent a SIM upgrade. All then worked perfectly. Go for it! A good phone.

I have now had this phone for 3 months (sim free phone running version 07.36.0.0 07-09-2007 RM-170) using vodafone UK. I have found this phone to be excellent on call quality, signal strength, usability & battery life. However as with some of the other reviews accessing the gallery, in particular the pictures on the memory card can be quite slow, taking typically 10 seconds to open the gallery for the pictures (2GB Memory Card Installed). The phone has an extremely solid feel to it as the back, screen surround and the bottom lip of the phone are made of metal (no really, metal). Oh and if your reading this review and you own a Ford vehicle with built in bluetooth you will be happy to know that this phone WILL work perfectly with it! Overall if you need a phone for calls, texts and connectivity (and there’s nothing much wrong with your eye sight) then this is ideal for you. If you need a phone for pictures, music or the latest fashion accessory then this phone is not for you. Essentials that you will need for this phone are: Autolock (automatically locks the keys), Stopwatch, Divx Player and some games. Applications that will work on this phone are TOMTOM 6 & Nokia Maps (external GPS unit required)

I never expected that a well positioned company like Nokia will produce a rubbish phone like E50. Just bought a new nokia e50 smart phone, The problem is – every few days the phone hangs on call receive. When I receive a call using the green button, the call immediately goes to the loudspeaker, and all buttons freeze. I have to remove the battery to get the phone operational again. The firmware been updated by the Nokia Care centre and its repeated even after the update.The current firmware is v 07.13.0.0 RM170. Even after addressing this known issue to Nokia, they are cheating the customers by selling the same model with out solving the issue. So I personally will never recoment E50 to anyone.

Most awful Nokia phone! Takes forever to boot; back difficult to remove; hangs or crashes and u have to take battery out and put it back in - a pain because back is difficult to remove! Cant multitask smoothly - to access menu while on a call, u need to put caller on hold, go to options, search for Menu B4 u can access directory...call time's a-going people!!!! Also cant do anything else while a text is being sent and that takes 4EVER. Useless and annoying icons - they cant be removed. Incompatible with Mac OS X - can Nokia please include Mac compatible software in your phones? Not everyone is a PC user! I do not agree with the Font issue though - I suspect it's a case of the people needing opticians! An overwhelmingly disappointing phone. Nokia really should take it off the market AND apologise too!

Have 2 of these phones for business use and quite frankly they are the worst phones i have ever had. The screen often freezes, i have trouble sending text messages, its like using a 15yr old pc with very little memory. Quite often on answering a call the phone automaticly answers on loudspeaker and canot be disconected from the caller, the only way to do this is to remove the battery and then power the phone back up, and in my business i then have a couple of missed calls whilst doing this. I have exchanged both of these phones for the same models due to them bieng inoperable, although i have asked for different models by phone provider tells me i can only have like for like phones? I have another 6 phones on my tarriff all nokias and all different models, and had no problems with any of the others. The font of these phones is very small and when trying to read out a number i sometimes give up (thought i needed glasses till someone else with good eyesite pointed out to me the font was very small) When texting i canot find a way to insert contact numbers from my phone book into the text, i have to write it down first and then manualy enter it which i find a real pain in the a**e as my business requires me to forward my staff differnt contact numbers for particular jobs every day. Overall i this phone is the wort phone i have ever had, even worse than "3 fones" when they first came onto the market. I have used many fones and networks over the last 20yrs or so going back to the days of carrying round a car battery with a handset on the top, lol! and i can actualy recomend to anyone thinking of buying this fone BEWARE, IT IS A PIECE OF JUNK.

This is a scandalous product. I am 33, my eyesight is totally (100%) perfect, and I can hardly read yet use sensibly this phone - the font size is THAT small ! And the relation between the screen size and the resolution is literally childish - this is a S60-based platform designed for the wider screens in the E-61 and N-series phones, and to use it in this narrow-ish display is plain irresponsible. I just wish Nokia didn't make so huge marketing mistakes, to let such a silly phone on the market. suffice to say, I returned it 1 hour after hopelessly trying to work with it... Even if you try the hints (offered online) for increasing the font size, the screen resolution itself is totally unsuited to screen size. Ergonomics are awful, too - it doesn't fit good in my palm, can easily fall down when SMS-ing (err.. trying to SMS..). Only "good" point is its visual appearance - you will be enjoying the 30-45minutes owning experience (a person with an average eyesight will probably be unable to enter the PIN-code at first start-up, so ownership will last about 45 seconds... What a classical example of a failure-product.

This phone fails to fulfill the basic function of a phone. i.e. to send and receive calls. In a static position the signal bar resembles a graphic equaliser. When I phone my home phone number it alternates between connecting and saying number unavailable. People have had the same problem calling me, sometimes up to 10 attempts before it connects. We have about 60 of these on vodaphone at our company and everybody has the same problem. We are going to exchange them for a differnet model.

The only good thing about this phone is that it holds all the contact numbers off my computer. Apart from that you have a job to read the font, every so often when you answer a call the other person can't hear you and you need to turn the phone off and start again, if you ring a number that no longer exists the phone freezes and you have to disconnect the battery to clear it, which isn't easy as you struggle to get the back of the phone off. If the phone wasn't supplied by work it would have been in the bin long ago!!!

Pretty reasonable phone in all honesty, most of the muppets leaving poor reviews here shouldn't really have purchased the phone as they appear to be clueless as to why the purchased it in the first place. Most seem to be expecting to get some Nokia copy of a SE walkman and have never touched a Symbian S60 device before. It's a business phone, through and through and a very capable one at that. Everything works perfectly, the build quality is top class. Guy's take a long look at the size of this phone, all things considered the font size is perfect - If your looking for decent font size, buy something bigger, you can't have it all ways. Better still Google the problem as there's a simple fix to the font issue. As for the complaints about icons etc, this is probably due to the poor network branding by the likes of Orange or Vodaphone - Do yourself a favour next time, get something sim-free. As for the last comment - about signal, I'm still laughing at that one, shame it not true ! Take most of the negative reviews here with a pinch of salt. If on the other hand your in the market for a super slim, SMALL, fully loaded smartphone you won't go far wrong with the e50.

An utterly useless phone. Under no circumstances should you buy it. Three of my friends and I bought togeather and each one of us has had major problems, particularly with the symbian software and it's ability to crach, freeze, and ansewr on loudspeaker at the most inopportune moments.

I have the nokia e50 for 6 moths. it's the best phone i ever haved. the signal is very strong doesn't drop, I have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled apps, games and themes (over 90 in total until now and still counting) and it doesn't shows any weeknes. The battery is great. I talk 2 hours per day, listen music or play games (1 hour per day in total), and it holds 3.5-4 days (and I don't turn it off at night). I have pushed this phone to the limit and IT"S A "ROCK" PHONE. I recommend it

I had this phone for a half year or so. First of all, symbian phones allow you to install programs there. It was kinda funny, that someone complained about a alarm that wasn't repeated on certain days or so. It is possible, like AutoLock :) But, there is a downside to this. I hear a low pitched sound under certain circumstances. When i express something or talking in a windy weather. It's really annoying. Had to send it to repairs twice, but the problem is still here. Now i'm considering a new phone, but i'm not sure if E65 is a better choice. So ... I like the design, i like the features, i don't like the battery life (3 days for me) and i don't like the low pitch sound. Ps! Nokia just promised to replace all the BL-5C batteries, because they are overheating. So there is ur problem. Cheers :)

This phone is not worth buying. The speed of the interface is very slow. It takes ages to get you to your schedule screen, or to reply to an SMS, and specially to go into the clock to change your timezone at landing (7 seconds since key pressed). You may think I'm exaggerating, but in this device, you have to wait for everything, and it becomes bothersome. The worst is the speakerphone freeze. It will make you embarrased if you're in a meeting, or if you're in a quiet environment. There's nothing you can do other than removing the battery (this of course drops the call). If it's an important confidential call, you have to choose between having the conversation in speakerphone in front of everyone, or dropping it. The one good things are looks, and battery life. It also has many good features for the professional user. Browsing is great. Go look at another phone. Don't waste your money in this one. It's a pity that the good potential of small size for a smartphone was spoiled by those unacceptable details.

I only chose the 1 star option as ther wasn't a zero star option..the E50 is an usable phone for all of the reasons below. My friend has one and we set them side by side to watch the signal bars dance with each other...his and mine drop calls because for poor signal capability, they phone other phones by stealth because for poor button design,the type is too small to be seen clearly,no caller information..an on and on and on...do not buy...you are warned.

Its a phone that you can depend on. Loads of talktime and battery life. Plus if you a gaming freak then you could download lots of free games onto it. The flipside is that the accompanyning CD for Nokia PC suite does not install properly. I suggest you get it from their website directly. All in all a good phone silently picking up especially when the N-series failed to impress.

The best mobile phone I ever had. No problems using it for calls, SMS, MMS...etc... Excellent kaypad tactility, screen resolution, applications, slim phone...simple yet elegant, not only business looking but business oriented phone...lots of functions, add-ins, useful applications...an ample phone memory to accomodate these stuffs.. The only thing that I hate is that the package has no complimentary memory card (micro-SD) included. I have to purchase it seperately...

If you just want to use SMS, write e-mails, phone and use a calendar, I so not see much advantage of paying extra for a smart phone even if it is as cheap as the E50. I have found these functions to be just as good on regular phones with a synch function. However, if you have any need for all the extra software available on the S60 platform, then this is a cheap option as long as you can handle the small screen (compared to e.g. E61). I have found the conference call function useful. Now and then the operating system freezes when hanging up after a call.
