A visit to the Nokia forum reveals so many user complaints on the E52 . . .that I find them disturbing.

I don't know anything about cell phones, but I know your frustration.

I get confused in the store lol

Who is your provider? Verizon now charges $350 early termination fee.

I wouldn't pick one of those phones with so many problems thinking the latest shipment might be problem free.


My two cents

If you find so easily so many user complaints and problems being mentioned- why do you even continue to consider getting one of the two?

I'm getting and has always been getting an unlocked phone. Don't believe in contract though I subscribe instead of prepaid. Perhaps because the contract benefits are not that much here they don't even offer you discount on the phone.

There's no Verizon here. There's three and I think it may not be a very good carrier since it's a newcomer to the market.

My provider is Telkomsel it's the biggest provider here but I just may change provider to get better deal on the data packet service(internet)

Thanks for the input, much appreciated

It's the form factor Skybird I can't imagine how Nokia could mess up with this beautiful phone and the hope that later production batch is better which a person mentioned but yeah the severity of the complaints really disturb me. It can't even perform the most basic function such as calling properly. I'm hoping a fix to the hardware on later batches and firmware updates will make all these go away . . .O dear Nokia . . .

Well at least with E72 I could pretend to be a businessman

Of what use is the outer shine if the inner qualities fail you?

A cellphone is like an empty bottle. You buy the beer which has the taste you want. when you drank it, you throw the bottle away, no matter whether the glass is green, brown or white.

Conflicting comments such as these drive me nuts lol

But the most disturbing one when a person wrote that his company bought more than 150 E52 phones and half of those went dead within 2 months while the users who had their phone working right complained about the software . . . perhaps it was an effort to get the company to buy them E72 instead...lol

and the fact that I had been staunchly defending my stance that Blackberry devices look stupid. Something like QWERTY phones being bulky and looked more like a calculator when you use it to call someone. If I bought E72 I would have to more or less swallow my previous stand...

Edit:
In thread like this I see some light at the end of the tunnel for E52 that the newer E52 and with new firmware is working as they should. Still curious about call quality(the noise cancellation that cancels your voice)

I would get neither since I got laptop, but this is very sexy IMO:

Emporia Talk Premium



But why? The more they add smarts to smartphones, the more problems they got.

Ooow coming from a Finnish themselves .

I thought it was time for me to try one of those smart phone after being ignorant and resistant all these years. Noise cancellation got to me I did a Low Noise Amplifier for my final project then (though what really interesting to me was the parallel analog to digital converter then) and finally somebody tried to do something to improve sound quality. I wonder what took them so long to come out with a filter . . .Besides I want to see how far chip miniaturization tech has helped to improve life usage. I used to design with smallest a 0.13um fab process while in college and during my intern and that was 8 years ago. I wonder what Nokia uses as their transistor size these days.


Okay I just don't want to be called out of trend
Seriously I'm curious about this noise cancellation feature. I think it's cool if it works and E52 just looks bloody awesome. I'm weak want to try a good camera a fast mobile connection to the internet, FREE wifi, video call, and a chance to actually record things during my travel to the countryside(quite a few scenery worth recording and showing like NUDE deers at the Bogor presidential palace or some cool outing places such as a cliff side dining place or a middle of the rice field cafe or the scenery around tea plantation field) and having them uploaded....lol
