The Nokia E5 was found to be well suited for its intended purpose, as it was purchased as a replacement for a friend I cannot comment on first hand experience but I am assured that the size both of the phone as a whole and the qwerty keyboard in particular where just right. visual aesthetics etc where not a consideration as the person concerned relies on a third party speech synthesizer to use the phone due to impaired vision. I am happy to say that the phone is fully compatible with the software used for this purpose.( I personally installed the relevant software and experienced no problems whatsoever in doing so).

Nokia E5
These are super phones. All the bugs in the earlier E61, E71, E63 and E72 seem to have been ironed out. Everything works as it should - GPS is very qick, keyboard excellent.
Screen is difficult to read in bright light but that seems to apply to most phones, whatever the cost.
Today work is where we are. Now meet the mobile device designed for the way we work. Meet the new Nokia E5.
The Nokia E5 extends the functionality of its forerunner with a 5 megapixel camera, HSUPA (up to 2Mbps) and faster HSDPA (Up to 10Mbps). The UMTS support has upgraded and now the E5 will come with two tri-band versions (850/1900/2100 Mhz and 900/1900/2100 Mhz).
