Nokia E50 Reviews

CNET UK reviews the Nokia E50 and writes, "If we have a major gripe it's about the screen -- it's certainly clear and bright, and its 240x320 pixels are sharp enough, but it's slightly on the small side. We found that, for example, Web browsing using T-Mobile's Web 'n' walk service on the handset worked well, but that the screen was pretty small for reading text. ... There was no camera on our review sample, but as we noted earlier, the E50 does come in a version with a camera. It shoots stills at resolutions up to 1.3 megapixels and will capture video, too, though only at resolutions up to 176x144 pixels -- not anything near state of the art."
