We were pleasantly surprised by the E63’s screen. At 2.36in, metrics alone dictate it’s not going to be much of a crowd pleaser. But, in reality, the screen is more than adequate and dominates the handset’s outer shell. While a fairly low resolution, we also found the display to be very crisp and bright.

The QWERTY keypad features raised keys, with pads that are sensitive enough to respond but aren’t so OTT as to react when you’ve accidentally stroked the wrong button.

Those with larger-than-average digits may also find the size of the keys a bit irksome, particularly for the speed texters out there who are used to typing without even looking at the keyboard.

It’s obvious to see that the E63 is clearly related to the E71. Although, based on the previous observations about colour, we felt it wasn’t as classy in appearance as its older sibling which could put some professionals off.

Call quality is good and, as with most Nokia handsets, the E63 is well built and finished, and feels solid in the hand. The E63 also has a good built in speaker and, as much as any speaker of that size can be deemed “good” it ticks the right boxes.
