The N63 hit us via express delivery from an unknown donor – he sent it to hit me exactly at 1230 austrian time. A small note was enclosed stating that I am handling a preproduction sample and should keep that in mind when reviewing – as if that ever deterred me from anything ;-) .

Anyways: the Nokia E63’s box probably isn’t finished yet – mine shipped in a small black box:

Inside, I found the E63 and a BP-4L battery with a nominal capacity of 1500mAH at 3.7V:

As usual, Nokia includes a MicroUSB data cable and its wallwart charger. I personally loathe this little critter, as it lacks international tips: a friend of mine works at an international law firm and always is very angry when it comes to travel as he needs to lug along an international adapter for his phone…

Anyways, here are the first two shots of the box. The keyboard layout is a lot less annoying than on the E71; the keyboards are now made of a weird type of rubber which feels better to the touch:

Finally: I tried to fit the device into Proporta’s excellent leather case for the E71 – and it didn’t fit in:

In the end, the E63 seems to address the mayor issues found on the E71 – even though it is considered a low-end device, I have to say that I already prefer it to its “higher-end” sibling…

Stay tuned – more coming soon!
