The Nokia E5-00 is a QWERTY messenger device that makes such an easy job of firing off longer documents as well as quick text messages. It also makes a great alternative to the Nokia E7 for those who don’t want a larger touchscreen device. What’s more, the Nokia E5-00 has come in for a hefty price drop, which you can find out about after the jump…

The Nokia E5-00 is a funky take on the business users favourite Nokia E72. It’s 2.4-inch screen is sharp and bright and we’ve always found the QWERTY keyboard to be a pleasure to use – it’s the rounded edges that make it tactile we like the best.

If that’s not enough, the Symbian S60 3rd Edition OS remains rock solid and delivers everything you need from a smartphone. For those who need social networking you can access Twitter and Facebook right from the Homescreen, while the more business focussed will find support for all the major backend services. If you need more then the Ovi Store is on hand for literally thousands of additional apps.

The Nokia E5-00 has been in stores over six months now so it comes as no shock that Nokia Online has given it a sweet new price point. The Nokia E5-00 was originally £209 (inc. VAT) but you can now get your hands on it for £189 (inc. VAT) SIM free. That's a hefty drop of £20, which in these cash strapped times will be a welcome boon for anyone on a budget.

We think it’s an absolute bargain, and also happens to be the same price of the brand spanking new Nokia C5-03 those who want a touchscreen smartphone sans keyboard.
