Review:
“The E62′s spacious keyboard is its biggest draw. It is one of the most spacious arrangements designed on a candy-bar form factor phone, with wide, flat keys that are beautifully sized and spaced. Setting up e-mail is a breeze, and sending and receiving messages are just as simple. The E62 is capable of handling attachments, and it also includes office suite that enables you to edit documents easily. Though the included MP3 player is loud and clear, you’ll want to use the bundled headset due to the tinny internal speaker.” – (PC World, 2007)
