This is a QWERTY-first device built for typing and messaging rather than media or gaming. The 600 MHz ARM 11 chip and 256 MB RAM keep things basic by modern standards, but Symbian OS v9.3 with Series 60 rel. 3.2 was built around exactly this kind of hardware. Storage sits at 250 MB internally, with microSD support up to 32 GB and a 2 GB card thrown in. The 2.36-inch TFT display runs at 320 x 240 pixels, functional for text and menus rather than photos or video.

The 5 MP rear camera has fixed focus and an LED flash, decent for casual snapshots; there's no front camera, so this isn't a phone for selfies or video calls. A 1200 mAh Li-Ion battery handles power duties, paired with a 126g QWERTY body that's built for one-handed typing over long messaging sessions. Nokia E5 price in Malaysia starts from RM279.

Connectivity covers Wi-Fi, A-GPS with Ovi Maps, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, and HSDPA data speeds up to 10.2 Mbps. It also supports document editing for Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, plus a PDF viewer, useful extras for anyone using this as a work-focused messaging device.
