An excellent Smartphone (2009-06-15)
So I purchased this phone as I wanted a phone that was unlocked and was quad band. It was also really important for the phone to have wi-fi and bluetooth. I have never used an s60 based phone. I have to say I'm pleasently suprised. The phone was designed very smartly. The shortcuts make sense, and you can modify them. The side buttons as mentioned by other posters are REALLy hard to use, but they rarely are.
The OS allows for great customization and the use of any software you want. A little know how is nice to have but not really necessary.
Skype works through Fring, with a native Skype client in the works. The browser has been thoroughly though of and works very well. The email client works great.
The pictures do not do this phone justice. The phone really does look great. Very thin, and very professional feel to it.
I would highly suggest this phone to anyone that wants a phone just as capable as the iphone without all the hype.
Great phone with tons of features packed into a slim design (2009-06-14)
Like others have said, this isn't a phone for those with large fingers. If you're looking for a business phone with a qwerty keyboard, then this isn't your pick. Nonetheless, the phone is elegantly built, with lots of features.
Pros:
1. Lightweight, can easily fit into your shirt pocket.
2. Great design with adequate reading space unless you have vision problems, that is.
3. Very low price (bought mine for US$197) for a business class phone.
4. Good battery life (but watch out if you want to use the wireless and Bluetooth together all day).
5. Great at multitasking. At times, I have 5 programmes running. Just a few taps and you can switch between each of them painlessly.
6. Supports up to 8 GB TF Micro SD cards and yes, it takes the SuperHDC ones too. Can't run out of storage space here.
Cons:
1. Prone to Symbian viruses. Like all Symbian based phones, better get an antivirus. You never know what may hit you.
2. Should come with the ability to charge using the USB Cable (Hope Nokia fixes their darn old habit of not allowing the phone to charge via the USB cable.
Great product. I'd recommend it to anyone needing a business phone.
Perfect little business phone (2009-06-13)
Got the phone in the time promised. Slipped the SIM card in and the phone was up and running in a couple of minutes. Found my home wireless and connected effortlessly. The FM radio is great, and could be listened to over the included wired headset. I like the layout of the main screen, the feel of the keypad, and well laid out controls. Took some pics with the built in camera, and they came out sharp as a tack. Another Nokia winner!
Smart? Phone is Beautiful.... (2009-06-11)
The first phone had a defective microphone inside, however Amazon sent me a new phone next day air. Wow. I do love this phone. It is slick, functional and Nokia is my favorite phone for overall quality. This black e51 does everything good, maybe it tries to do too much. It could be a little bit louder on every phone. Headphone power is good but not my ipod. Speaker is ok, but not loud. It could use a 3.5mm headphone jack like the rest of the planet. The wifi works great, but the menu is a little confusing, and the mail section with yahoo won't let me go on wi fi. It must be just for cell companies. You can just go to the internet and go to yahoo but it takes longer. You can turn off the cell internet to prevent overcharges that's nice. Please understand I do love this phone I'm just being critical. Trust me you will baby this phone, and want it back in your hands when others look at it. Unless I'm just obsessive compulsive. Great screen clarity. The music is clear, and makes great ringtones too. It looks basic yet modern and is high quality throughout. Amazon's quick response made me a loyal fan. You will not get the same treatment from best buy or any other electronics big store.
Excellent little sleeper (2009-06-04)
This phone does everything Iphone's/Pre's/Storms offer and more (from a functional perspective). It probably requires a bit more tech savy than the other mentions, but once set up everything works smoothly. I got IMAP emails from the office, Exchange calendering, GMAIL, Internet radio, VOIP to work perfectly - over wi-fi when @ home, or GPRS when on the road.
An excellent buy - highly recommended for the more technically inclined.
