I’m moving out of my home, my life, to a new beginning today! A life away from all pampering, full of provinces, less of luxuries of love and even lesser of trivial care. All bags pack and ready to go, but the path still unsure. I’m leaving on a jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again. I just have to go!
Goodbye Karachi! I’ll be back soon!
In my opinion, Nokia’s best “affordable” slide phone so far! I purchased this phone like half a year back and had to change it involuntarily because I broke the sim cradle. I dropped this phone down a whole floor in my office lift. (I know some of you might be wondering if that is even possible, but yes, ironically it did!) I had the driest throat during all the time if took the lift technicians to bring it up from the elevator motor’s pit. I could see them struggling through the tiny cleft between the lift’s and ground’s floor. But the phone survived, you know the rough ‘n tough Nokia, I love them because of that too. So that’s how I audaciously justify my membership in Facebook’s group “I drop my cell phone more than the Iraqi bombs!”
Nokia.com states: "Style meets substance in the Nokia E65. Its slim, slide design is complimented by a rich range of features made for business and fun"
Anyways, coming back to the phone, prominent features included Built-in WiFi transceiver, GPS enabled, although it hardly works as I tried to couple it using Bluetooth with the Garmin GPS while in Germany, but somehow the interface always refused to connect. A bit slow on the interfacing level but over all very good in handling and looks. This phone was my first experience with a 2.2-inch TFT screen that displays 16.7 million colours at a 320×240 pixel resolution, and I loved it! It runs on the third edition of the S60 platform and thus provides a wide variety of S60 applications. It incorporates an application called QuickOffice that lets you view Word, Excel, and Powerpoint documents on this handset itself. The only short coming that I always felt while using this phone was the absence of FM Radio receiver. I always missed it and wondered why Nokia never thought about it. The new revived version E66 has this short coming covered. On the whole, this phone proved to be a good communication companion, as I travelled four countries with it and I’ll always be fond of it J
Financials: this phone was purchased on bill of Rs. 16,300 (July, 08) and I sold it for Rs. 9,500 (March, 09). I got a good deal even after breaking the cradle, thus proving that this phone earned its market.
