Memory128 MB–
Storage60 MB–
CPU600 MHz ARM11 in GSMArena's exact production review; no specific chip identity inferred–
MemoryUp to 60 MB internal user storage in the maker datasheet; headline storage records that maximum. 128 MB RAM from GSMArena's exact review, not inferred from free memory.GSMArena reports 75 MB internal user storage; All About Symbian describes about 60 MB. No exact maker user-capacity figure recovered, so configurations omit a headline capacity. Free application RAM and physical installed RAM are distinct; no installed-RAM figure inferred from the review's landscape-mode memory use.
Storage typemicroSD expansion up to 16 GB and 1 GB card supplied in maker launch/datasheet; not E60 RS-MMC or E62 miniSDminiSD, not microSD. Exact owner guide supports FAT16/FAT32 and card removal without switching off or removing the battery. All About Symbian's reviewed package includes a separate 64 MB card; not built-in storage.

Wireless chargingNoneNone
Battery life detailBP-4L 1500 mAh Li-Po; maker datasheet claims up to eight hours GSM/six hours WCDMA talk and 23 days GSM/29 days WCDMA standby. Review endurance varies with use; not video playback.Removable BL-6C; 1150 mAh identified in both independent production reviews. Nokia's exact service manual gives 3.6–7.3 hours GSM or 2.5–3.9 hours WCDMA talk, and 7.2–9.3 days GSM or 7–9.2 days WCDMA standby, depending on network conditions. These are not video-playback claims.
Wired chargingCharges through micro-USB, including a compatible USB data cable; exact guide says cable charging is slower and a USB hub may not work. No charging wattage inferred.Separate large Nokia charger connector. Exact issue 3 owner guide lists LCH-12, ACP-12 and AC-1 chargers; Pop-Port is the data/accessory connector. No charging wattage inferred.

Software
Operating systemSymbianSymbian
Software at launchSymbian OS 9.3, S60 Third Edition Feature Pack 2 in GSMArena's exact production reviewSymbian OS 9.1 with S60 Third Edition in both production reviews
Software featuresMaker datasheet lists Quickoffice editors, mobile VPN and business/personal email. Both production reviews test supplied editing; owner guide qualifies editing as requiring the editor version. Early firmware/service differences retained, with no claim that historical online services still operate.Exact owner guide covers Word document editing, spreadsheets, presentation editing, PDF reader, ZIP manager, email, web browser and internet calls. All About Symbian's later test uses version 2.0618.07.10 firmware; its faster rotation is not transferred to the earlier GSMArena test. Historical software downloads and online services may no longer operate.
Release detailNokia announced E52 on 6 May 2009 and planned second-half2009 availability. Maker's 2009 sustainability report lists it among products launched that year, and August production reviews establish retail units. Earliest maker-supported on-sale month unresolved, so year precision retained. No E51 predecessor link inferred from secondary descriptions.Nokia's 19 June 2006 Content Discoverer release explicitly lists E70 among devices already in the global marketplace. Earliest first-sale month remains unresolved, so year precision retained. October 2005 database date is announcement-era information, not used as a sale date. No unsupported predecessor link.
