Features:
This candy bar phone set is all clad in plastic. It is a thicker plastic version of E71. Apart from the love of metal finish, plastic is prone to much lesser smudges and fingerprints. Even the dimensions are almost same. It will obviously fit into one’s pocket quite snugly. The backside is finished in non-slippery material. The display is 2.36-inch QVGA (320×240 pixels), and is vivid and bright. Brightness is automatically adjusted according to the surroundings.
There are two modes available, Business and Personal. Business mode gives direct access to work tools like e-mail, the Web, and the file manager; whereas the other mode leads to personal data like multimedia library, the Web, and messages.
The full QWERTY keyboard is nice to type with, and adds a key in the bottom row that results in a shortened spacebar. The flashlight can very well be used as a torch. Long battery life, spacious keyboard, and touch sensitive Navi-Wheel is all that make this pretty phone adorable.
Product’s Unique Selling Points:
- Integrated Wi-Fi
- Full QWERTY keyboard
- Full email capabilities
- 3G support
Limitations:
- No GPS
- No side mounted volume rocker
- Call and Camera quality is not great
Final Words:
Much affordable than the metallic E71; E63 offers full functionality and alluring design to the consumers. This is a good pick if you care about the looks and colors with important packed features.
