Nokia announces the E52: A phone that lasts and lasts

General

There’s nothing worse than being in the middle of a phone call and having your handset die on you. Or perhaps checking your work email on a long trip and having the juice run dry. This morning, Nokia broke out another Eseries device that will reportedly solve all your battery woes. The E52 boasts an impressive 8 hours of talk time and 23 days of standby. Devices like this typically offer a basic feature set but the E52 doesn’t hold back – it packs A-GPS, HSDPA/HSUPA, 3.2 megapixel camera, Mobile VPN and Exchange and Lotus Notes support. The device certainly does a hell of a lot more than refuse to die. The Nokia E52 ships later this year with a 1GB memory card and will set you back €245 (~ $326).

    Truly the company that can produce a phone with remarkable battery will be a huge winner! W/ 3G as well…

    Alright! An E55 without the crappy suretype key setup. I think the rumors of the E55 being scrapped might be coming true.

    big deal, big like a smartphone, – obviously to make place for the huge battery – but NO QWERTY keyboard, why would you want to buy that?
    someone in need of mobile lotus notes, needs a qwerty keyboard too. this phone wont cut it!

    If you live in a hurricane vulnerable state…with the power going out for a week every other year, you will come to value phones like these.

    This is great news.

    Does anyone know why so few manufacturers have adopted Lithium-Polymer technology and have chosen to stick with regular Lithium-Ion?

    No way Nokia would release an Eseries device without WiFi.

    Where I live they have a neat invention…I think they call it a car charger?

    Surprising how well the celltowers held up but half the roofs in the city did not.

    Would not waste my precious fuel during a hurricane.
