Nokia E51 is a great upgrade to the old Nokia E50.Since a lot of readers are asking us about this phone we thought of writing a review about this latest entrant to the Nokia E Series . You might have seen my post on Nokia E Series in India

Simply put , Nokia wants to make its E Series devices as popular as the N Series ones

Nokia E51

Connectivity

Has got it all - Quadband , 3G, HSDPA - its a 3.5G phone infact. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) , Bluetooth , USB are all present.

Camera and Media

Its got a 2 Mega Pixel Camera which is pretty common affair in Nokia phones these days but they are not top notch cameras. Come on I m not looking for a High Quality photography on a Enterprise phone. In fact , i feel a Camera is not worth it.Its got QVGA video recording also.Whats cool is that it has a FM Radio so that you can tune in to the nearest radio station. It also plays most but not all media formats.

Memory

Its got 130 MB of phone memory and upto 4GB of microSD expansion possible.

Battery

It comes with a powerful 1050 mAh battery which can last for about a week with minimal usage and about 1-2 days with extensive usage.

Built

Its the best combination of features and style. Its 12mm thick . But not flimsy. Its kinda rigid and a good fit in the palm.

The handset weighs 100g and is not on the lighter side.Highlight - Its got a dedicated home key which takes you to the phone home screen - something inspired by the Apple iPhone home key.

Display

Although the display is small in terms of physical size it sports a 320240 pixel resolution with 16 million colors

Price and Purchasing this Sexy E Series Beauty

The E51 was launched at Rs.20000 India in September last year.

Its now priced at Rs.12400 and is a great buy for sure.

Its targeted at Business users, Women and Enterprise users.
