Pre-order has started

The keypad are a matter of getting used to. Once you are used to blackberry, you will definitely condemn Nokia's keypad as well.

Can you receive instant email via Nokia? I was planning to buy this device but my past experience where some emails will take 15-20 mins to receive has made me to temporarily stay away from Nokia.

I also asked for black but no promise there.

1 months is still long way to go. No patience here

Congrats. Gives us a brief 1st impression about this phone. How do you feel having this phone?

I hardly hear people talking about the Nokia E6.

Instant email? Nice

May I know what email provider(s) are you using?

Actually they made a good job by removing the bronze colour for E6. At 1st when I saw that picture in the 1st post, I found it to be "yucks"

For E Series, I realised that it can actually go up to 7 days (minimum up to 5 days) with just call, SMS, some photos etc.

So I assume that the E6 can last about 10 days without internet connection.

I thought E6 comes with Gorilla glass display?

quite happy with Nokia E6. I have made the right decision by not choosing the X7 because E6 suits me well

Overall it is ok but email part is still behind BlackBerry. Well, 5 minutes wait shd be OK.

The only problem I have now is the keyboard light is not turning on. It definitely works but somehow it doesnt light up when i am in a dark room.

i think that the photo quality is quite good even at your desktop. But yes, the Nokia E6 screen makes the pic look extraordinary.

Question : what email provider are you using?

it depends. Not every business users will take a camera shot of documents.

Same like video call. Many feel that a phone e.g. Blackberry or some Android phone at its disadvantage when there is no front camera but how many of them actually use that feature?

Anyway, i personally feel that those who are seriously looking into a phone which is catered for business should not even look at this phone.

The Nokia E6 is more like a all rounder phone. It covers everything in general but not specialized in anything.

even with 1650mAh or 1900mAh, some of the phones can't even reach 2 days (moderate use) which is a shame.

So for Nokia E6, i find the battery life to be decent unless it is caused by some apps which is not optimised for battery saving.

I think that the ringtone volume is already not loud enough even when the speaker is facing you. Surprisingly, the music playback (when listening to songs) is very loud.

BB still is the best for the following :
1) social networking - Facebook, twitter
2) instant messaging
3) email - but this is subjective. My company email is instant on Nokia E6 but for BB, i have to wait max 15 mins because it doesn't support Mail For Exchange. However, Gmail is other way round where BB is instant and Nokia is max 5 mins (which is still not bad).

Other thing is the notification part where Nokia E6 only have light notification for sms and missed call. Nokia should have added email and chat etc as well.

Overall Nokia E6 is a good phone. No regrets for sure. Happy that i have chosen this over Nokia X7.

Noooooo.....haha

by the way, my E6 battery took 8 hours to get from full bar to 1 bar. Tried twice and it is the same.

That is driving me crazy. Even my old Nokia E71 can last for nearly 1 day with similar usage pattern.

I suspect FSecure is the culprit. Turning it off now and monitoring the phone again. Haiz.

owh, torch light doesn't work when power saving mode is activated.

Pls check if you are running on power saving mode if your torch light is not functioning.

I have to admit that the battery life for Nokia E6 is quite poor if push email is activated.

This is the 3rd time I am charging my phone within 24 hours. Well it is still early to conclude because I am now trying again with power saving mode activated. Hopefully it will at least bring the phone alive for at least a day.

Note:
1st charge - 3am
2nd charge - 1pm (at this point, I've deactivated FSecure because I suspected that it is depleting the battery faster than usual).
3rd charge - 12:45am (at this point, I've activated power saving mode. No background app is running but push email is still going on).

Unfortunately, the email feature is very important to me and I need emails to be pushed without much delay. The next option I have is 15 minutes which is already too long.

I was happy that the email feature is more reliable than in Nokia E72 and N8 but if the battery is going down so fast, I can't use it as my primary corporate phone.

Hopefully the power saving mode can do a miracle. Otherwise, I have to get back to my BlackBerry
