"Fundamentally flawed"
What I like:
Overall the E50 is pretty good but with one terrible flaw.
What I don't like:
The standard font cannot be increased and is so small as to be almost indecipherable without a magnifying glass.
Review:
The E50 could still be a great phone but only if Nokia can engineer a retro bug-fix to provide a choice of font sizes. As it is, the screen simply cannot be read in a car cradle or in a number of other similar circumstances. Huge shame, really, but the result is that this renders the phone extremely difficult to use on a daily basis.

BlackBerry Storm 2
Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks
INQ Mini 3G
Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
BlackBerry Bold 9700
Has everything that makes the BlackBerry format great, but other smart phones offer more innovation
