Well another class product from Nokia. To say more about the product let's take a look at the features which potential buyers might be interested in. This trendy business class phone comes with a sleek look a complete black colored model with support to 2g as well as 3g networks. So high speed data surfing at your fingertips. The weight is only 100Gms for a slim mobile phone.Got a decent memory and one can upgrade it upto 8 GB(micro SD). Its 3g speed is 3.6 MBPS. Thats decent for a mobile phone. The camera has following features 2 MP, 1600x1200 pixels, video(QVGA@15fps).

The stand-by time for the battery is upto 310 hours and talk time is upto 4 hours and 20 minutes.That's pretty decent too.
Well as far as music lovers are concerned this phone wont disappoint you because of the FM and excellent sound quality of MP# player software. The browsing is very nice as it is fast and easy to navigate through important menu through dedicated shortcut keys. Theblue-tooth version is also a newer one so it ensures faster rate of data transfer.

Apart from all this used to features some pro users of phone demand a smart/symbian phone.Well E51 is what they are looking for guys. The symbain Symbian OS 9.2, Series 60 v3.1 UI is just too good to handle the goodies to be installed.Whether it be a java game or any third party software. You can rely on your E51.
For Internet users on the move, you can configure the wi fi option and surf for fast Internet and design your designer clothes online or shopping, paying bills just anything from this E 51, truly a master piece.

Now let's talk about some of its disadvantages that might be a major concern to some potential buyer.
You cannot mute the camera shutter sound even when the phone is in silent mode.So its a big drawback for some pro's.

The switch on and off phase is difficult and different than the traditional nokia phones.A drawback for easy to use nokia navigation lovers.
The phone costs about $300 so user expectations are generally high. But the camera is not upto the mark.Its only 2 MP should have been about 3 or 5 MP. And the 2 MP cam's quality is rather deteriorated than a 1.3 MP LG dynamite's camera. So Nokia should take a look here.

As per the people's claim on Nokia.This particular model is said to produce more radiation as compared to other nokia models.People are regularly complaining about headache after receiving a short call for about a minute or two. So to cut short radiation levels emitted are very high.

Summary: A good buy for people who are not so sensitive for radiation through cell phone..But photo shots lov
