Hi Barbara the NOkia E63 has plastic housing. It's a newer phone and has the standard 3.5mm jack. It has a torch, 2mp camera and no internal GPS. There is no volume rocker or any deticated button on the side of the phone. The cancel key is also the power menu key. This phone is 13mm thick so it's not as thin as the E71. It's a decent phone if you can live with the above specs and also has wireless connection capabilities. The wireless connection on that phone is better than the E71 wireless connection which can be a bit unreliable. The E63 can be purchased from Three for £149.99. Just like the E71 it has the full version of Quick Office which can be upgraded for free. The space bar is shorter to allow the added slash key. I did purchase this phone but couldn't settle on it so I went out and bought the E71. Now I feel as if I have quality in my hands. It would of been nice if it had the 3.5mm jack and a torch.

I think all of the E Series so far have had the steel housing haven't they? Certainly makes the phone feel classy.Find me on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/barkingbabs Barbara Wilson M: 07917710779 T: 02887784046 E: barkingbabs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx IM: creativeeyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Skype: creativeeyes----- Original Message ----- From: "Saqib" <saqib500@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 02, 2009 8:43 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: An e71 update pleaseHi I would be interested to see if the 5mp camera would be suitable for the OCR program on the Nokia E72 which is due to be released in the 3rd quarter of this year. It will have a standard 3.5mm jack and a longer battery life. I for one can't wait for it to hit the shelves. This phone will be the successor to the ever popular E71 and I hope it has the steel exteria housing..-------------------------------------------------- From: "Ibrahim Gucukoglu" <ibrahim_gucukoglu@xxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 02, 2009 5:58 PM To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [talks-uk] Re: An e71 update pleaseHi.There is no blind friendly OCR software compatible with the E71, primarily because the camera on the phone is only a basic 3.2 megapixel and therefore text recognition would be erratic. As for automatic completion, it attempts to recognize the word you're typing and makes appropriate suggestions. There are two settings, medium and high where medium adapts what your typing and compares it to a dictionary, and high also tries to guess the correct letter if you hit the wrong key.----- Original Message ----- From: "Georgina Joyce" <r2gl@xxxxxxxx>To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 02, 2009 5:51 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: An e71 update pleaseHi This sounds good. I forgot to ask about the OCR software. I couldntsee any mention of it in the reviews. What I did see was a mention of aauto complete word system replacing predictive text. How do you find this feature? Thanks. On Wed, 2009-09-02 at 17:15 +0100, Ibrahim Gucukoglu wrote:Hi Gena.I have an E71 and absolutely love it. The keyboard is small, but after practice you'll get the hang of it, and you'll probably never want to go back to a traditional keypad again. The keys are clear and distinct, having domed tops making them easy to find by feel alone. There is a dot on the G key which happens to be the number five key as well, so you can use that as an orientation point if necessary. The talks volume isn't particularly loud, because the speaker in the phone is quite small though its perfectly clear enough. As for emails and documents, well for email you have Nokia's standard messaging application which is fully accessible with talks and since email is one of this phone's strong points, its extremely simple to set up your email account using the wizard you can get to on the home screen when first switching on the phone. You get a full version of QuickOffice, so you can read and write word documents as this is supported by talks.All the best and please come back to me if you've any further questions.----- Original Message ----- From: "Georgina Joyce" <r2gl@xxxxxxxx>To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 02, 2009 5:08 PM Subject: [talks-uk] An e71 update please > Hi All >> I see that last month you guys discussed the e71.
