The Nokia E63 is a mobile phone announced on 12 November 2008 and released later that year.[1] It is based on Symbian's S60 software platform and is considered a budget business smartphone positioned below the Nokia E71, featuring a plastic body instead of metal. Many of the specifications are identical to the E71 except for the lack of GPS and infrared, a lesser RAM, lack of HSDPA and lower-resolution camera with a fixed-focus lens. The E63 does come with a flashlight function using the camera flash, which is not present in the E71. It also has a more standardized 3.5 mm audio jack whereas the E71 uses a 2.52 mm jack as used on older Nokia phones. The E63 retailed for about 199 euros before taxes. The device was succeeded by the Nokia E5, but remain in production until its discontinuation in late 2011 in favour of Nokia's Lumia lineup.[2]
