    I bought the E52 about 4 months ago as i broke my E51. Ever since buying this phone i've had nothing but problems with it. It's painfully slow, it scratches easily, today the display cracked when I dropped the phone from waist height (something i've done with all my phones and never once broke) and also it feels so cheaply made, like it's cover in dull plastic. It seems like such a step back from the E51 which was a great phone, fast, robust and nicely designed and better priced. Anyone else have any issues with the E52?

    I take care of all the phones I have had and have never dropped mine. It isn't advisable to drop any phones. I have never used that but I have heard good things about this phone :)

    Well i hardly dropped it on purpose now like, it fell out of my pocket and fell on a vinyl floor first phone i ever had to not survive a pretty modest fall and also the most expensive phone i've ever had.

    The E51 was better suited for drops, just the way it was made. They make practically zero % of phones now that you could drop. The only does really, are the ones design specially for it, land rover phone, jcb, and the 3720

    I have one for about 3 months now. Pretty happy with it, apart from a very annoying problem with the memory. It comes up with memory full, delete or move from c: from time to time and I can't even send a text until I delete almost everything off it.
    I have a 2gb card in it, and as far as I can tell everything is being saved to it by default, so cannot figure it out.

    Well for instance, my phone has a glass screen so I am extremely careful of the phone, you can't drop them these days. You also said you had dropped other phones previously so I would say try and be a bit more careful in future :) (or else take insurance out :p)

    Agree with Yer Man and kellsred. Had this phone almost a year. HAd it sent in for repairs 3 times. New Microphone, new loudspeaker and this week the on / off button fell off! Its a piece of crap, terrible fragile design and I too get teh "Memory full" prob as kellsred describes. Just hanging tough with it till i am entitled to an upgrade or reverting to my trusty but slow e65.

    Nokia E52 - Dont buy one!

    just on the memory full problem. It's your ram memory not you external memory that it's refering to. You must have a file downloaded to your ram by mistake. Which caused the same problem on my n95. I downloaded an app called ybrowser which helped find it so i could delete and free space. Hope that works
