The Nokia E65 is a mobile phone in the Eseries range, a S60 platform third edition device with slide action. It shares many of the features of the N95 (quad band GSM, 3G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth), which was released around the same time, but thinner, lighter and without the GPS. It was followed fairly quickly by the E66, which was very similar, but gained an FM radio, a newer release of S60, A2DP Bluetooth, GPS, and a 3.2-M pixel camera. Operation times vary depending on the network and usage.

Known issues

Many users have experienced problems with the SIM connecting to the network after using the phone for some time. This meant that they needed to be either repaired or replaced. The cause seems to be a design problem in the SIM container on the chassis of the phone. The SIM container is mainly built of a thin metal foil, which tends to bend over time, thus disconnecting the SIM from the mobile phone's SIM contacts. However, this problem has often been solved by putting a piece of paper between the metal foil and the SIM, enabling it to make contact. There are also difficulties in making connection to WLAN networks, which use EAP-PEAP and MSchapV2 protocols if you update the phone's firmware (this is true as of firmware version 3.0633.69). Other users experience problems with the phone connecting to third-party GPS devices over Bluetooth. This seems to be a compatibility flaw in the Nokia Bluetooth stack of Nokia Maps, as these devices do connect when used with Google Maps on the E65.
