“Like the E63 was a budget alternative to the E71, the Nokia E5 is the E72's cheaper cousin. With this S60 smartphone, you will be able to get your emails, make calls, surf the Web a little and take some photos. As long as you don't require the latest and greatest games and apps and don't mind the dated Symbian interface, the Nokia E5 will get the job done.” [CNET Asia | Nokia E5]

If you need a cheaper alternative to the E72, the E5 is worth a look.
