The Nokia E65 achieves what is very rare in business-orientated mobile phones: it packs all the functionality you need in a phone for work into a sleek and stylish body.
It's not a clunky phone, as many business phones are - it weighs in at just over 100 grams and is small enough to slip into your pocket. Thankfully, the keys aren't too small for bigger fingers, either, which is a problem you often encounter in smaller phones.
The Nokia E65 manages to keep its compact form thanks to the ingenious sliding front panel, which moves up to display the keypad.
When it comes to connectivity, the E65 excels. It boasts quadband GSM, 3G and Wi-Fi, as well as USB, EDGE, infrared and Bluetooth. Because it's a business phone, Nokia has included the Quickoffice document reader (which allows you to view documents created in Microsoft Office programs) and an organiser as well as an instant messaging feature.
Nokia has clearly taken the "all work and no play" lesson on board with the E65 as it also features some entertainment capabilities. This includes in-built video and audio players and enough storage for around 10 or 15 average MP3 files. There's also a 2-megapixel digital camera built-in.
As a business phone, the E65 is best suited for entry-level users who won't need to perform intensive applications on the handset. If you need to edit or create Microsoft Office documents on the fly, you may need to look at a more comprehensive smartphone.
