Consumers planning to recycle their mobile phone may want to invest in a Nokia E5 after it was given a positive review.

According to Mobile Choice, this handset offers a wide range of features for an affordable price.

For example, it contains a QWERTY keyboard, a five-megapixel camera and a mobile internet connection.

As a result, Mobile Choice believes the Nokia E5 could be a good option for anyone who wants to invest in a smartphone for the first time.

"Once you've set or opened the various features up, the Nokia E5 is a competent smartphone," it commented.

Mobile Choice added that the device contains excellent features for entry-level buyers, but said users may need to be patient in order to get used to the Symbian operating system.

This comes after Mobilefonereviews.co.uk described the camera on the Nokia E5 as one of its most "vital attributes" and a "winning feature".
