Nokia E51
An addition to the E-series of Nokia which includes E50, E70 and E90 is the E51. The Nokia E51 is a Symbian OS smartphone and has been dubbed as the direct replacement of the E50. Nokia E51 has also been categorized among candy-bar phone types which have been consistently praised for their great designs.
The Nokia E51 has a dimension of 114.8 x 6 x 12 millimeters and is available in black, silver or bronze and is made of durable stainless steel. The slim smartphone’s design is a reserved and simplistic one, reminiscent of the earlier Nokia models, but it remains compact and very comfortable to the pocket. It weighs 100 grams and features a 2-inch TFT display with 16M colors at a 240 x 320 pixel resolution. The LCD also offers an ambient light sensor and LED light indicator which is useful for detecting missed calls and unread messages and e-mails.
Below the screen are shortcut keys and a keypad that is comfortable use. It also includes a Home key that will bring back the user to a standby screen. Buttons on the side are rubberized: volume, power and record. The 2.0 Megapixel camera and speakers are located on the backside.
Nokia E51 has a number of important features on its keypads. Among these is the one-touch dedicated buttons for e-mail, contacts and calendar application and they are also customizable. Activating the E51′s connectivity options is a breeze, by pressing the * button to launch Bluetooth and 0 for the Web Browser. Dedicated keys are also available for muting calls that can be used during a conference call.
Going back to connectivity, E51 supports dualband 3G/HSDPA on 850/2100MHz frequencies, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth stereo, infrared, 2.5mm audio jack, and mini-USB port. It’s also a good news that the mini-USB port and the charging port are separated unlike the other slim Nokia phones wherein these ports were unified into one. The memory is also expandable up to 4GB with a microSD card. The E51 has the following preinstalled applications: Active Notes, In-device Search, Team Suite and Quickoffice, although the version of the Quickoffice can only view documents. Users can download Windows Live services such as Live Messenger, Gizmo for VoIP calls and Yahoo! Go.
The 2-megapixel camera, which may not be at par when matched with normal cameras, is still sufficient for simple snapshots. Other multimedia features in Nokia E51 include Visual Radio, a music player that can play MP3, AAC and other music formats, FM radio, video streaming and playback in H.264 (MPEG-4), 3gpp and Real codecs.
