Across the centre of the phone is the normal array of shortcut and call buttons, centred around a four-way nav key and OK button.

The screen and keyboard around the front is essentially the same as previously, you have a large, crisp 320 x 240 pixel, 2.36-inch display, which gives you plenty of space to work or play, whilst still giving you the full QWERTY keyboard underneath. It is also surprisingly weighty at 126, thanks to the large battery, but once you get used to that battery life, you’ll forget about the weight. Other little alterations leave you with a handset that still looks like a serious business phone, but without the premium finish you’ll find on the E71. Whereas the back of the E71 is sculpted from metal, you’ll now find a plastic cover in its place, albeit with a rubberised texture so it feels secure in the hand. In terms of design, the E63 is very close to the E71, adding a few millimetres to make a slightly fatter phone. At a glance it may look the same, but can it deliver an experience close to the E71 flagship model? With the E71 going down a storm, including here at Pocket-lint, the E63 has a tough act to follow.
