Nokia E5 features
Nokia E5 is an amalgamation of Nokia E63 and E72. The dimensions of Nokia E5 (115 x 58.9 x 12.8mm) are similar to that of E63. However, E5 is less voluminous than E63 owing to its rounder edges. Nokia E5 flaunts a 2.4 inches display of 320 x 240 pixels resolution. The home screen of the new Nokia E series phone could be customized with apps and shortcuts.

It showcases an app shortcut bar and a contact bar along with shortcuts for accessing emails, music and Wi-Fi. Social networking buffs would love to see live updates from their favorite social networking sites displayed on the home screen of the Nokia E5 handset.

The candy bar handset has been packed with MP3 music player, FM radio, stereo Bluetooth, 3.5mm headset jack, microUSB and browser with Flash Lite support for providing PC-like browsing experience. The 600 MHz processor would make Nokia E5 a pretty speedy device.
