One of the best mobiles NOKIA'S ever made ~BUT dont get me wrong it has its FLAWS
Count on my words, forget the CAMERA, except that there's absolutely no way u can find a fault with this gem. Stainless steel body: even hard drops dont leave a smudge.. Extra fast processor: menu and applications are super-quick. Great sound clarity, lightweight and slim design, truly a great performer. S60 3rd ed platform: supports every application on the market, Amazing range of connectivity options: HSPDA, EDGE, Wifi, Infrared, all TOP class and HIGH speed. Phone memory is 135 MB!, 46 MB RAM, ~356 Mhz processor, upto 4 GB expandable..... the list is endless, great ergonomics and looks... ONE OF THE BEST MOBILES NOKIA'S EVER MADE.
So customize it the way you like, YES you can upload whatever you wish: music, pictures, maps, calculators, word, excell, pdf...BUT dont get me wrong it has its FLAWS. Enjoy
Good all around phone
The list price is NOT [...]. If you head over to Nokia[...], you'll see that the list price is actually [...], so you're not really saving much. Other than that, this is a great all around phone, especially if you've got a standard VoIP line (Broadvoice, TeleSIP, etc...NOT Vonage). My son bought this and won't stop raving about it. The fire and ambulance stations where he works have WLAN, so he saves cell minutes by using his unlimited VoIP minutes from his phone to make calls. If this phone were compatible with Sprint, I'd get it for myself.
Not a bad phone
The phone is fine. But the problem i notice is the battery. it drains very fast. it does not hold for more than a day even for a vey normal useage. It is very unlike of a nokia battery. I have been using nokia phones for almost 10 years. Used most of the nokia models. but this is the one i am not satisfied with the battery.
Browing is not very comfortable, I think it should be accommodated considering the size.
If some one likes to use a nokia phone then they will definetly like this phone except for the battery.
Cool as ice and it freezes most of the time...
As soon as I unpack the box, I was very impressed with how the phone felt in my hand. Top notch quality, stainless steel, perfect size with WiFi, bluetooth, IrDa.
Size: I remember my old Nokia 8890. I thought I would like to have a similar sized but with newer technology in it. The E51 fits my ideal phone.
Interface: very user friendly! I can easily find the menu that I needed.
Battery life: mediocre, it only lasts a day an a half and thats not even using the phone as much. 90% of the time, I use it for text messaging.
Just a few days later, it started to freeze. I had to restart everytime. I might send this back to have it looked at, or not.
Cool: The text to speech is nice. It rings and then says the name of the caller. (must be in your contacts)
it does every thing its supposed to
i have gone through this phone from a to z . it does what its supposed to and the reception is also very good, i replace nokia N75 with this and both on ATT network. for some reason with this phone i get better signal at every location. love the WIFI feature not to mention VOIP, loaded Fring software on it, which lets me talk to anyone who has the same software on thier phone with a wifi connection for free no matter where in the world they might be, the battery had good life unless i have the bluetooth and wifi tuned on, they both are gas guzzlers, some fonts are too small where they could have been larger, . i will get the same phone in a couple of years if they still make them.
