E51 Review


After a while of deliberating, reading numerous posts and reviews I bought a Nokia E-Series. E -51 to be precise. Its been a week now and thought i would put my review

*Nokia E-51 is quite a slim and thin device which is loaded with features. The device weighs only 100 g. The slim factor is must for someone who feels the bulkiness of other Nokia Model ( read N- Series ).You can get the complete specs here .Its a no nonsense cell which quietly lets the performance speak. Trust me, i am a quality guy and i think i have tested it well in this one week.
*On the connection front it has USB, WIFI , Bluetooth and IR. Do you need anything else. i was able to test all the connections and successfully established connections on my laptop. It seamlessly integrated and transferred data without any issues. WiFi worked really well with my Wireless G router from Linksys. In fact the device was easier to pair compared to my IPOD touch.
*The display is bright and good and makes you happy every time you look at your device.This compensates for the fact that its only a 2 inch display.The screen is very glossy and easily catches the fingerprints. You will need to be extremely careful with that. I think Nokia realised this and ships a cloth to wipe the fingerprints. They also package a pouch to make teh device look very professional.
*Call quality and battery backup is Nokia's standard and they have maintained it well.Since the phone is a business device, don;t expect to many multimedia stuff on it - Camera, Music player, Radio are just a bonus for you.The ringtones are crisp and clear.
*The device is fast enough and multiple apps can be opened and it handles them effortlessly.The built in memory is around 130Mb and comes packaged with a miniature 512 MB card. You can upgrade this card to 8 GB, depending on your use.
*SOme of the applications that i have installed include - Opera Mini,Yahoo Go, Gmail, Gizmo, Skype , Fring,YMess, Talkonaut, IM+ for skype,SMS Conversation, IRRemote, iSkoot,Vibrate call, Projekt, MS Dict and Xplore. The reason for having so many IM's was i was desperately trying to use the VOIP to call US. I have yahoo & skype credits. But still i am unable to make call. However i can receive calls from others on skype but i am charged for that. I shall try and keep my research on.
*One thing that i miss is a good ToDo list in this device.I have installed Projekt to overcome the lousy TodoList of E51.The other thing that bothers me the lack of good screen saver. I tried to put a good flash screen saver but it times out and comes back to the built in screen saver. I am 100 % sure that i am doing right, but will need to check further.
*All in all i am very satisfied with this device so far. I know i will be delighted once i get the Blackberry connect working on this. I will give that a try sometime next month.
*Cost is 11.2K in Sangeetha and that's the best deal. The package includes - Cell, battery, charger, 512Mb card, pouch, cleaning cloth, USB connector and some CD's.Its a good VFM.
