Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for business-savvy globetrotters who require a full range of smartphone capabilities, broadband connectivity, and real-time access to your contacts, the stylish Nokia E51 brings it all together. This quad-band GSM/EDGE phone is also ready to run on 850 MHz/2100 MHz UMTS/HSDPA 3G networks (found in Europe, Australia and Asia), enabling fast downloads and streaming multimedia while on the go. It also includes integrated Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g) for accessing open networks at work, at home, and on the road from a variety of wireless hotspots.

The candybar-style E51 is nicely slim at less than half-an-inch thin, and it features a large 2-inch LCD with support for 16.7 million colors for excellent depth. It's based on S60 software operating on the Symbian OS, enabling you to personalize the E51 by choosing from a wide choice of compatible applications that can be downloaded--including games, navigation, entertainment, and productivity titles. Other features include a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity for both communication headsets and stereo music streaming, MicroSD expansion, MP3 player, FM radio, and up to 4.4 hours of talk time.



The slim Nokia E51 is loaded with features to help balance your business and leisure time.
This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz). It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider.

When used with a carrier data plan and the phone's USB or Bluetooth data capability, the phone can also be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs.

This phone provides Bluetooth version 2.0 wireless connectivity with EDR (enhanced data rate), and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and audio/video remote control. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones.

The E51 can also access mobile Internet telephony (Voice over IP, or VoIP) from homes and hotspots. For example, the downloadable Gizmo application enables you to make and receive inexpensive calls from your mobile phones and chat or talk with friends who are online.

This business-savvy Nokia E-series phone offers integration with a wide range of business email solutions, including Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email and Mail for Exchange to communicate with Microsoft Exchange Server. It's also compatible with POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP email accounts and provides the ability to view attachments.

The Nokia Team Suite provides easy to use UI for organizing and facilitating group conference calls, email messages, or text messages, while Quickoffice provides viewers for Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint documents.

5 out of 5 stars My Favorite Symbian Series 60 Smartphone   January 13, 2008
 21 out of 22 found this review helpful

The E51 is sleek, built for style and productivity...a rare combination that means popularity with true merit. So I'm quite puzzled that this phone isn't being pushed as much as the N95.

It's got the right dimensions, not too heavy in the shirt pocket, feels good in my hand, the keypad has excellent touch and layout with 1-press keys for Calendar, Contacts, Email, Bluetooth (on/off) and Silent/General mode.

It's real cool that the 1-press keys for Calendar, Contacts and Email have different modes.
Short press starts the app (Calendar, Contacts, Email).
Long press starts a new record within the app (new calendar entry, new contact, new message).

I've re-assigned the 1-press key for Email to start the Messaging app, and long press starts the CryptoGraf Messaging app to encrypt my messages.

There's WLAN internet access with a proper browser. The camera, with just 2 MegaPixels, is good enough for my needs.

The screen is crystal clear and good for viewing video and images. BTW, I thought it gets scratched quite easily, but that's just the plastic screen protector. I removed the screen protector and the screen stays scratch free even after I put the phone in my trouser pocket along with my keys.

Another feature that makes the upgrade from E50 to this E51 a great idea...there's a font setting for adjusting the menu font sizes to Large, Medium, Small.

Voice call quality is quite good. The speakers are also quite good but they're awkwardly located on the back.
The volume controls on the side of the phone are not easy to use...it's quite confusing that the 'cursor key' acts as a volume control for the media player, but the voice call volume control is on the side of the phone.

The CPU is very fast at 350MHz, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, Mini USB 2.0, 2.5 mm A/V connector. The BP-6MT 1050mAh battery gives me great talk time and standy time even with liberal use of bluetooth and WLAN.



5 out of 5 stars Finally, a world-class stylish phone for geeks like me   June 4, 2008
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

Most of the cameras today are aimed either for kids (like the chocolate), fashion conscious adults (the big hit razr), or business people (the bulky blackberry or treo).

What if i want a phone that is sleek but also loaded with all the important business tools? well the E51 was a Godsend.

This sleek phone comes with high speed 3G internet and WiFi connection. Gone are the days paying $15 to connect to the internet at airports and hotels. Simply use the mini usb cable or download a symbian based modem application and you can use your phone as your modem.

The camera is decent (2mb) and since micro sd cards are so cheap nowadays (i bought a 4gb Kingston one at Amazon for $14) you can use this phone also as a portable mp3 player (stereo ear phones included).

The best part of all though; it runs on Symbian. Download Opera mini and Google Maps (with a neat 'show current location function) and you have the capability to browse html pages and use the phone as a water down gps device.



5 out of 5 stars Happy with E51   June 18, 2008
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I had been following the E50 & E51 phones and I am quite happy with this phone. A smart phone has to be a good phone first. This one come pretty close. Small form factor, does not feel heavy in pocket, decent battery life, quad band, speaker phone, 3G, and wifi. I love the small light that blinks to let you know of a missed call.

Cons:
1) Speaker volume is low, compared to other Nokias I have had.
2) If you are a heavy user of the Wifi you might find the screen size small
3) Does not charge by USB cable.

I thought hard about buying the E51 or the iPhone. I think the iPhone wins overall, but I will never buy it so long as Apple arm-twists me into signing a contract with AT&T or any one phone company.




5 out of 5 stars A solid phone that does not disappoint   May 14, 2008
 7 out of 8 found this review helpful

I've owned the Nokia E51 since January, and I can easily attest to the convenience, power, and versatility of this all-in-one powerhouse. I was initially attracted to it due to its relatively high amount of on-board memory and slim form factor, both of which are hard to come by in the world of Symbian S60 operating system phones. It's a very responsive device and very easy to carry in one's pockets. The built-in WiFi capability allows for Gizmo5 VOIP calling (calls on the cheap) whenever you are near a WiFi hotspot. I've also used the A2DP stereo music player with my bluetooth headphones on many occasions as a fill-in for my iPod. And the amount of freeware S60 applications that are available as well as the powerful PIM capabilities of the phone add to the incredible usefulness of the phone. The battery life is more than adequate, with ample on-screen and audible warnings before it becomes exhausted. The only serious negative for the E51 is the quality of the internal 2Mp camera, which is relatively poor. Otherwise, the E51 is everything you want in a phone, minus the gimmicks.


5 out of 5 stars excellent deal   August 18, 2008

The nature of my work makes me move and stay to different countries for months at a time so i needed an unlocked phone. I found that's not something easy to get in US. Phone stores would even sell you a locked phone at a full prize if you don't buy a contract, that's ridiculous. I've been to he Nokia store in NYC and I would have paid 100USD more than on Amazon for the same product. I'm very happy with my purchase, the phone came in perfect condition in a sealed box. The Symbian program allows you to synchronize documents with your computer, it's a great tool. I would recommend buying a protection for the screen, gets scratched easily (Invisible Shield is great)
