just restart any phone that you use every 2-3 days and it will stay a lot faster

of course you can forward/rewind video on an E51. just push up/down.

Hi i bought an E51 3 months..but the connectivity is really very poor
lot of call drops, WLAN intially was working but later started malfunctioning despite updating the firmware the call quality never improved. you can never make a sucessful call from this device.
I have been using nokia phones for the last 10 years but i am completely dissatisfied with this model...i think NOKIA's low end phones are the best and not the higher model..MORE FEATURES...MULTIPLE PROBLEMS.

PS:
E51 is reliable phone. It is very flexible but the Symbian OS is little bit slow. I have used ipaq 514 of HP and replaced it to E51. Difference is not to big except the screen resolution but the batter of HP is better. Anyway everytime I return to use my old facioned 6510 - simply the best and the "smartphone" Benq-Siemens S68 - the relay good phone for good working gentlemans...

The E51 is an excellent phone. Having said that, I must confess that I exchanged that for an N73, a decision which I now feel was a big mistake.

E51 is a good stylish and functional phone. Now that any Tom Dick and Harry has "smart phones" with stylus, the charm in owning one is not that much as it used to be. Similar to laptops - once a priced possession, now practically everyone has it. So I view real style as something subtle, pracitcal - not dirt cheap, not dumbly expensive. E51 is perfectly suits me at this.

The one and only reason why i changed the e51 was because of its high SAR value (1.47)(Specific Absorbtion rate) just below the allowed maximum of 1.6 and 2.0 depending on which country you live. But I have read reviews on the SAR that they write is maximum and not necessarily the actual one (which may be much lower). Now I am inclined to believe that. In any case I use a headset, and phone is more of a data store for me. Further N73 was a big disappointment. All good, except that it fails in its most important USP - the camera clicks with a loud shutter. The video flash is on even if you are shooting the sun. The whole point of having a camera in a phone is to take - an accident picture or the photo of your boss in a meeting:-) N73 believes that it is a camera. e51 does that.Further the camera quality is okay. not noticeably different from the 3 mega of n73.

So Im waiting for the first opportunity to the mobile shop and get the e51 after giving back the n73.

First off all I would like thanks for that who are invade the Nokia E51. Hence it’s the best pone that I am going to use within Nokia phones range. Since 1992 I had use several brand of phones that exit in our world like SAMSUNG,BOOSSH,NEC,SIEMEN,ALCATEL and etc…but very lastly Until I brought E 51 for my hand I have engage my life within N- series. N series is a quit good but…..i can say it’s so lovely to have such e 51 Smartphone in my life. My next look for buy higher version of e series
Thanks for the Nokia

This phone is excellent. I will get an iPhone when it will have UMTS for Italy, but the E51 does anything anyone can possibly ask out of a phone that weighs as a phone, looks like a phone and feels like a phone. It's truly smart inside without the bulkyness and weight of so-called smartphones. The iPhone is the only real next step as it already belongs to the new era when phones will just be another form to get a full-fledged computer. But so far smartphones are just overhyped phones that are only larger, slower and heavier than the E51. I get my corporate email messages on the E51 via MailForExchange and when I'm also connected to my Exchange server through the laptop I receive new email on the E51 even before than when the usually sluggish Outlook gets the message on the laptop.
If you want a phone with Wi-Fi and all the connectivity you like, get the E51. If you want to show off "cool" pieces of technology with your friends then get something else. And then we'll be able to show off and have a real technology gem when the iPhone will be ready for Europe and its UMTS network. Unfortunately it's not iPhone's time yet in Europe.

I have use many nokia phone and recently tried e51. I can say overall i am very satisfy with it except for the sms part.

Do you all find that it is a bit slow while responding to sending out sms? I am not sure if is due to that i installed many programs into my phone.

I didn't want to reformat it as it would be quite tedious to reload everything so just wanted to ask your comments if you have tried several Symbain nokia phone...

Appreciate your reply soon.

The great phone, specially for people willing to add the decency into their look. The phone has really decent looks, and very sensible device. In india its a hot sell i checked in 8 shops to buy a phone most of them asked they doesn't has stock, and those has it, in rose color...As max demand is for "chrome". The feature's@price ....i'm speechless. I have a suggession for an upgrade, hope it will givwe the big boost to this phone.
1) Upgrade the camera to 5 MP(as in Nokia N82).
2) GPS.
3) Should have a sound quality equivalent to nokia express music with 3.5 mm audio jack.
4) The phone should be in two models one the existing one with inclusion of above menstioned features and the another with a BIG touch screen.

Hope w'll get the upgrade soon for those willing to carry a business phone with no compromise with sound quality and touch screen usablty.

It's the best phone I have ever used.
It fits all my bussiness needs with appropriate multimedia functions.
It's a combination of a PDA+I-POD+PHONE.
IT's processor is too fast as compared to those N-Series Phones which really hang.

I had many other phones, Iphone, N95, N73, N70, e50, and many more...so far I recorded a number of 30+ different cellphones that I had in the past. With the nokia e51 i was a little skeptical of its use and performance. I got it from Ebay (new/never used). Im a student with a busy schedule and this phone fits my needs. Quick entry buttons are a great +, its battery life is great, Camera takes decent pics, loud speaker for those outside and best of all its simple but productive s60 software makes the statement of being a business/normal use phone. Its metal finish seems to be a little to shiny (especially when driving in my car/sun reflection issues). Usage of metal finish made this phone easy to slip out os hand...so be careful. In a 2 week period i put at least 48h in talk time and so far the phone keeps up to my needs. One thing that i would like to see in the future nokia e5xx is a little more input in email configuration. As of now it is easy to install/configure, but is its a challenge to navigate/unsubscribe if not wanted. overall score 9.5/10.

I just bought it last week. I loved it very much, all i want is there, the speaker is very good. and signal strength is also better compare to N 6300 (my previous one). All I can say it is the cheapest E series with minimum gimmick but maximum function for a handphone.
