Two handsets arrived at Casa de PhoneBoy recently: a Nokia E7 with Symbian^3 and a Nokia E6 with Symbian Anna. In my last post, I reviewed the Nokia E7. This time around, I’m reviewing the Nokia E6. Unlike the E7, which I’ll get to keep, the E6, which went back to WOMWorld.

This will be another long post, so go get your coffee and settle in for a nice read. If you haven’t already, I would encourage you to read my previous post on Symbian^3 and the Nokia E7 as a lot of that also applies here as well.

It’s been a while since I’ve had the opportunity to use a new Nokia handset. The last one I got right before the Nokia business unit I worked for was sold to Check Point in April 2009 was a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (Nokia’s first touch handset after the iPhone came out). Even until very recently, despite owing both an iPhone and a Nexus One, I would still carry a Nokia E71 when traveling outside the US as it met my basic needs well.

Through some horsetrading, which included giving up my beloved my Nokia E71, I managed to get a brand new Nokia E7. It arrived at my house the day before I was spending 5 days in Canada, as did a Nokia E6 I got from WOMWorld Nokia for review. Since the E7 arrived first, and it’s also running Symbian^3 versus the newer Symbian Anna on the E6, I decided to road test the E7 so I can see the differences between the two later on.

In any case, this is a long review. I spent a week using the Nokia E7 and used it for, well, a lot of things. Including writing this review in QuickOffice. Go grab a coffee and settle in as I deconstruct the Nokia E7.

I didn’t think I was going to get a new Nokia handset anytime soon, but a funny thing happened. Shortly after I wrote my comparison about Android and iOS, I found out I was getting two new Nokia handsets. …

The new Nokia N8 was announced today. I have to say, it looks like a really nice phone. Hopefully the 12 megapixels camera will be less noisy than the typical mobile phone camera and the new Symbian^3 OS will …

A year ago, I worked at Nokia. That changed when Nokia’s Security Appliance Business got sold to Check Point. The deal officially closed one year ago today. Now I work for Check Point, and though my official start date at …
