In succession of E51 released in 2007 (converted into 2 centuries ago in the world of technology!), Nokia E52 is said to be speedier, more durable and more organized (It should go without saying, right? After all, it’s been two centuries!). Is the new E-series member really more connected with the cut-throat business world? We will find it out now.
The box is bundled up with the E52 phone, a battery, a charger, a data cable, a handsfree set and a user’s guide.
It could happen that Nokia E52 is out here to test the water for the soon-to-be-launched E55. E52 looks almost identical to the still-in-womb, only a QWERTY keyboard missing. I would say that the design of the phone is of no surprise, a candybar with a fair share of space between a 2.4-inch TFT and a familiar number pad. E51 is made of fiber plastic except the back cover which is made of a piece of rather thin metal (but don’t worry, the battery sits so fittingly inside the compartment that the back cover would not get dent easily). Because of the material made, E52 is slim and light. It gives you a good grip but not so much my idea of a business phone as I would see a business phone with a little bit more heftiness, like E71.
The number keys are very thumb-friendly. However, I am not so sure about the new rocker switch idea for the one-touch keys. The message and calendar keys are placed on the same level as the navigation pad. If you press on the right or left directions of the d-pad, you are inclined to push the switch by mistake which could be quite a nuance before your thumbs familiarize themselves with the practice.
A 3.5mm jack is placed next to the power button on the top of the phone.
Data transfer port is on the left of the phone.
The volume adjustment and the shortcut to camera can be found on the right side.
The back looks pretty smart. You will find a 3.2 megapixel camera with full focus (not autofocus guys!) assisted with LED flash. By looking at the specs, the camera is not at all overwhelming, but you know camera is not the focus of an E-Series business phone (especially in this price range).
You need to remove the battery cover to get access of the MicroSD slot. (Hassles alert!) You can expand the memory up to 16GB.
E52 is installed with a 600 Mhz processor and 256mb memory to make sure navigation and browsing is lag-free. HSDPA up to 10.2 Mbps and HSUPA up to 2Mbps and WLAN connections secure you with a fast internet connection for smooth business.
The phone is operating on Symbian Mobile S60. You get accelerator for auto-rotation and A-GPS with compass.
As the new addition to the Nokia E-Series line-up, E52 has played it safe. You don’t get too much groundbreaking stuff but you will get basically everything you want from a business phone nowadays: a long lasting battery life, noise-cancellation for crystal talk quality, quick access to push emails and messages and fast connection. Satisfying!

What capacity battery does it have? Reason i ask is i have a Nokia 6303 and it has a very high capacity battery which lasts ages. Nokia are improving their batteries really well. Nice smart looking phone by the way

Superb phone! Very elegant and very good specifications.
So far I have used only (Sony)Ericsson phones, but if I have to choose new phone at the moment, I would take Nokia E52.
Hello, Sony Ericsson, where is your response?! Hurry!
