The Nokia E55 is one of the new Nokia phones from the E-series. As you probably know, E-series phones are mainly business orientated devices. E55 is no different.

It was announced in February 2009 and released very recently this month – August 2009. Nokia E55 supports both 2G and 3G so you can use it pretty much anywhere in the world. With only 98 grams of weight, your pocket won’t look bulky or feel heavy.

The display is 2.4 inch TFT with 16 million colors and 240×320 pixels (like most of the Nokia phones, including N95 8GB, E72, Nokia N96 and others). The integrated accelerometer sensor rotates the screen automatically if you tilt your phone sideways (can be disabled if needed). The keyboard input is nice, but it’s only half-QWERTY, so the business users, that type a lot on their phone may find it inconvenient.

There is a loudspeaker and a 3.5mm standard audio jack, so you can even plug your E55 to your car audio system or your expensive headphones and get high music quality. Speaking of music, Nokia E55 has only 60MB integrated memory, but it comes with a 2GB microSD card, expandable up to 16GB.

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and high-speed v2 microUSB connectivities are present. Unfortunately, there is no Infrared support, but who uses that when there is Bluetooth now? The camera is 3.2 megapixel with LED flash, but there is no auto focus. Video recording is VGA and so is the front camera for video calls. The video player supports WMV, RV, MP4 and 3GP formats and the audio player supports MP3, WMA, WAV, RA, AAC and M4A. The E55 can open Microsoft’s Word documents, Excel files, Powerpoint presentations, as well as PDF documents.

GPS navigation is included with A-GPS support for faster geolocation.

All those features run under the Symbian S60 v3.2 OS with ARM 11 processor and 600 MHz power. The battery is 1500 mAh Li-Ion and can have up to 670 hours of uptime in stand-by and 2G mode.

The Nokia E55 is priced around 250 euro.
