Added on October 20, 2009, 10:57 amHi,

I was also one of "proud" owners of E52, but the proud part lasted only three days and now I am totally anti-Nokia (but still stuck with the dumb phone).

My E52 was just unstable, dont know whether that particular unit was defective or the model in general also is unstable.

I bought it in September (ori set), just before hari raya. From day one, the phone kept freezing every now and then, and its getting worse by the day. Sometimes I wud need to remove and replace the battery then only it can restart. I thought it just needed some warming up so I let it be and tried to be patient.

But my patience did not pay. On the 3rd day, the phone was dead for good. It didnt start anymore despite numerous attempts to revive it. However since it was raya time, I had to wait for a week before I cud send it to the service centre.

I sent it to the service centre on 28th Sept. They said they need to replace the m/board but Nokia hasnt sent them the m/b stocks. What more, the lady told me they had tens of E52 having the same problem and admitted that the first batch was problematic. It has now been more than 3 weeks and I still havent got my phone back. They promised it will take another week as the m/b stock has just arrived.

I was really shocked but nothing I can do anymore. I switched from SE to Nokia firmly believing that Nokia products are much more reliable but Nokia has disappointed me really bad.

I also bought the E52 (ori set) a week before Raya (i think). and igenerally, it works veery well. It did hangs, 2 times, when web browsing HEAVILY. I usually check the disk space regularly, because, in my experiences, any system will have problem when no disk space left. Other minor issue, the built-in SIP client did not 'released' from the memory properly if I disablled the service wrongly. But, this issue is minor if you disable the serice properly.

Yes, I am using gizmo SIP service with Google voice. ... So, today, I left my internet connection via celcom 3g (fullspeed data plan) since this morning. And just right now, the handphone start's 'crying' for the battery charging . mmm..6 hours straight net connectiviy... not bad.

Yeah, the speaker volume is low. But I can considered it as polite or sopan. Imagine if you are a businessman with ultra loud funky ringtones... ... The E52, is just enough to catch my attention, but not if I am at very noise places. Wait, I usually use earpjhones at crowded/noisy places, so not much issues with the speaker. Aiya, businessman don't go to crowed places or pasar maa.. I think that's why Nokia designed the E52 to be a polite phone.

Other than that, I am very satisfied.

p/s: I am not a businessman ... Just an old techie.

I'm switching to E71. My advise from my personal experience: Dont buy this phone. for those who already have it and working properly, you're the lucky ones....

Its a pretty phone though.

I've just got my silicone case from lowyat plaza, rm10.. hopefully in future pasar malam will sell 3 for rm10, so can buy different colors.

My e52 is my first symbian phone and i'm very satisfied with it, great calendar etc..

i have not experience any issues with the phone hanging, hope with new firmware it will be more stable..

while they will improve the quality, it's expected going to happen.. for the 1st batch of product.

bro, pity ur bad experience..dont sweat it bro, hang in there...change from SE to symbian is so very worth it and that E52 is a very good phone...just have to give it some time, all phones also fumble first time...

changed from SE to E71 and never regretted it. really bro..symbian roxx..

Added on October 20, 2009, 10:05 pmbtw if u compare E71 to E52/E72:-

1. USB1.1 vs USB2.0 (usb1.1 data transfer damn slow!)
2. USB cable cannot charge phone vs can charge
3. processor 369MHz vs 600MHz
4. and lots more...

I just got back my phone yesterday evening, I guess they really sped up my case once they got the mboard coz I've been giving them headache for the past 3 weeks hehe

Apparently they have replaced the m/board as now it has new IMEI no.

Anyway I havent really tested the phone, will let you be updated once I have

Couldnt wait bro. Nokia Care said I had to get it then. plus, I will see what the E72 is like before jumping in. Let's see what user reaction is after 6 months or so.

but for now, E71 blows away my E52 (maybe yours is better).

i'm using e71 and i assure u its a very good phone..the only downside is the ones i mentioned before..if u can't wait, do look forward to joining the e71 community.

user complains has been infesting gsmarena user opinions & review area, which is the major reason causing me to hold back the purchase.

Are u sure that it has a great calendar?

From my usage, u can add birthday reminders in the calendar. You can only add a birthday reminder on the contacts itself.

Unlike the S40 version calendar whereby all calendar, reminders, to-do list can be included in a day.

Hence, I kinda frustrated with the calendar.

hehe if no good can get other symbian app calendars..thats the beauty of s60..

I'm NOT sure if the calender pleases you, but for me it is good enough.

I tested tis phone at nokia centre. Its speaker is horrible so soft le.

What do you mean? The incoming ringing tone or the ear piece listening voice sound?

Especially, the alarm is damn soft... I always missed work bcos of this phone.
