Nokia E51 - Business Class Phone Review

Nokia E51 is a candy bar form factor mobile phone, which supports GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 on 2G network and HSDPA 850 / 2100 on 3G network. The first impressions of the Nokia E51 are indeed pretty good. It feels great in your hand and looks and feels really nobly. The new Nokia E51 combines compact size, rich communication skills, a comfortable keypad and stylish design, aiming to be a classic and conservative all-round performer. Nokia E51 runs on the Symbian 9.2 OS with Series 60 3rd Edition UI with Feature Pack 1. This means more efficient usage of RAM, hence improved multitasking. The E51 is 130MB of internal memory. If you like, you can also insert microSD or even microSDHC cards. That means that you can have up to 16GB of external memory. In the test we used a 4GB microSDHC card which worked without problems. On the back of the slim Nokia E51 you can find the 2 megapixel camera without any protection. Unfortunately, it neither offers a LED for bad light conditions nor an autofocus to get better results.
