Tthe possible solutions are at the bottom of the page, hard reset, format the SD with the phone.

So, any comments from E52 users ?

Yup!, the USB data cable is too short, but 'size/length doesn't matter' if it perform as it intended to do. 11 cm (the cable part only). Total length tip to tip, 19 cm.

After 5 days exploring ithe E52, (Note: it is my FIRST Symbian S60 phone), and I think I like it . Yes, it hangs, BUT, it happened when I was using Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.60, with too frequent of zoom in and zoom out. The program consoumed 100% of cpu resources (Energy Pro apps) , but, good thing was, I can make, receive calls and sms without any problem. Seem that Symbian OS is a good RTOS (RealTime OS). With an excellent task manager app (JBak TaskMan), I able to kill the Garmin process. Basically, the S60 is very stable and till today my E52 did not reboot by itself or totally hang yet. I love "JBak TaskMan", especially when handling wierd things, which are rarely qccurs.

Just as other mentioned, the speaker/sound need to be a bit more louder. Decent built quality and very impressive battery life. I can explore it whole day without worrying about battery too much.

GPS accuracy: Note, my Garmin Nuvi 755T, (best accuracy 2m), mmm, E52 is 15 at the best, but just good enough as a backup GPS .

Wifi: Great. I can associate with Linksys WAG54G2 @ WPA2 without any problem.

Sound, from headphone out. just OK, and with Westone UM3Xs, the treble is quite reccessed or rolled off. Not to demanding too much, and I don't bother to use the stock earphones, because, it did not fit nicely to my ears.

Built : E52 is thin and light, and, nice to hold too.The keys size and arrangement is good for SMS texting.

Here is my current Desktop... Yes, I like plain black dekstop. The theme that I use is called "Only Black" with default icons and fonts.

Conclusion: E52 is an Excellent practical phone, with minor flaws.

Thank you.

Earpiece volume is OK, not too soft. Just enough to have chats for hours.
Lag? Not bad at all. Quite fast and snappy. The ovi (nokia) map app is good, very smooth, zoom and scroll. Make sure no unneccesary processes/task running in the back ground. Remember to EXIT applications, just to make sure it did not running in the back ground, which may consume some CPU resources.

Yes, the E52 has built-in GPS and digital compass.
