Nokia E55 black O2 deals

The Nokia E55 is a powerful, smartphone with a QW-ER-TY style keypad, a slim design and a 600 MHz CPU. Identical in functionality to the Nokia E52, which has a standard numeric keypad, the E55 is a slender 9.9mm in depth and 98g in weight. It has a 2.4 inch QVGA display, a comfortable keypad, impeccable build quality and a fantastic specification.

The Nokia E55 has the latest Symbian S60 OS, it comes with feature pack 2 and you’ll find lots of finely-tuned improvements when comparing to previous Eseries devices. There are plenty of applications pre-installed, including all the document viewers you would anticipate plus support for MS Office 2007. Connectivity covers everything including Wi-Fi, HSDPA (up to 10.2 Mbps), A-GPS, Bluetooth an FM radio and a digital compass. The 2.4 inch display has an accelerometer, which is useful for reading documents, web pages and emails, or for watching movies. There’s a 3.5mm audio jack and class-leading audio quality. In fact, the media capabilities are excellent for a phone that is aimed primarily at business users. A 1GB memory card is included, which can be upgraded to 16GB.

A basic 3.2 megapixel camera is on-board. It has a fixed focus with an LED flash, which is okay for taking occasional pictures but it won’t compete with the latest dedicated camera phones. Overall the E55 is a great device and along with its E52 sibling, is certainly the best compact smartphone currently available.
