Hi.
I have an E5 here. Mine has been worn out and now reboots spontaneously
any old time it feels like it. Getting it to run for 10 minutes at a
time is something to brag about. It was dropped in a mud hole at one
point, I think that may have an affect on it. It's a nice phone, got the
podcatcher built in, the battery life isn't too bad. Mine got around 3
days, that's ok for me my e72 doesn't really get any better with a much
larger battery. You will probably like the E5 well enough. The speaker
gets pretty darn loud but has this auto gain stuff where it makes sounds
that weren't so loud in what ever sound you are playing become very loud
like the breaths of someone on a podcast become as loud as their speech
when you have the volume turned all the way up, but turn it down a
couple of clicks and it starts working properly. It isn't distortion, it
seems to be some kind of auto gain. My e72 has more low end frequency in
the speaker than the E5, but the E5 is louder than the E72. The e5's
microphone is ok, it seems to be fairly good for recordings as phones
go. The e5 has a micro sd card slot located in the battery compartment
so you have to remove the battery to get to it. I have had a 32gb card
in there on mine. The sim card is also located under the battery.
Everything I did with it seemed to work ok, internet radio, fm radio,
music player, web browser, email, podcasting... I had talks and Mobile
Speak both installed on it used Mobile Speak in demo. The back on it is
stainless steel like the E72 but smooth no ridges except for a line of
writing near the bottom edge of the cutout for the camera lense.
It does have a 3.5mm headphone jack for regular headphones and I used it
a lot on mine with no issues.
One big annoyance with it is that the power button is the end key. Hold
down the end key to power on, hold down again to get the menu of options
to switch to other modes like silent or meeting or power it off, or
activate power saving, or disconnect sd card etc etc.
There are two buttons one on each side of the phone that you press in on
at the same time to get it to release the battery cover.
The phone's vibrator is the most vicious of any phone I have ever seen.
You can hear the motor even if it doesn't vibrate on the table from feet
away. It is a lighter weight phone than the E72 and made more cheaply.
It does have a faster processor, if not very much so, to make up for
some of it's body being made of plastic where Nokia's other phones that
were made similar to it used more metals. The E5 is thicker than the E71
or E72, but not so much so. It is also a bit wider which results in
slightly larger buttons on the keyboard.
It has only one configurable button, and that's the text messaging key
above the end key, it's a long horrizontal bar that extends from the
right arrow key to the right edge of the phone and above which is key2
and below which is the end key. The same setup is on the left side but
the horrizontal bar on that side is the menu key and naturally below it
is send and above is key 1. There are a long rocker bar on the right
side for volume and that about does it

hi elanor.
thankyou for your response in this matter.
can you tell me what the battery life is like with this model?
i have no intention to use the e mail or social networking functions,
so they will be switched off, which i presume will help battery life.
i have yet to use a qwerty keyboard - how is it to use on this model
compared to a regular keypad?
can you also tell me how sound quality is and if there is a 3.5mm
socket for headphones?
sorry for bombarding you with all these simple questions, but you are
the best person to ask as you have one.
kind regards.

It is fine. I am replying on mine now. It has qwerty keyboard and with
current release of Talks, released last week, emoticans can now be
read which is good for sending in texts.
