The E63 looks more like a cheaper version of the E71 and. Nokia decided to offer this phone at a lower price since they knew that the QWERTY keyboard was a plus in the E71. The E63 is slightly thicker handset. The good news is that no Even though it is a cheaper version, the E63 comes from good stock, and is really a compelling form factor. The slight touch of thickness and the cheaper materials may not be luxurious as the E71, but the phone by no means feels cheap. Except for the keyboard, Nokia came to the decision to remove the hardened, clickier E71 keys and replace them with a softer, rubberier keyboard. One other difference you may come across is that the E63 has a full 3.5mm headphone jack, instead of the mini jack found on the E71.
