CNET Asia Review
8
out of 10View score
The bad: Rose Steel version attracts fingerprints easily; preinstalled Quickoffice is read-only version; no front-facing camera for video calls; average image quality.
The bottom line: Simple is good, and that's what the E51 is. It may not have a fancy design, but the E51 excels in nearly all other aspects with a truckload of connectivity features, good performance and attractive price point for an enterprise phone.

Fast and Furious phone
May 12, 2008Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Fast connection to internet
Cons: Wish there were built in memory onboard
Opinion:
Everything is nice except if there is a 8GB built in, that will be marvellous. Some place which you go need you to take out the memory card not even camera.
Overall speed is fast and there is a lot of application for S60 series phone. Most of all, that are IM services. Which can significantly reduce your sms or even phone calls.
One word, EXCELLENT
A very competent phone in all that it does...

Pros: HSDPA, WIFI, Exhange Server compatible, Chinese, got-a-keypad, battery, value, LARGE buttons
Cons: Slightly smaller screen
Opinion:
A legend in the making, I've used this phone and is very very satisfied with a Nokia's product since a long time.
All that needs to be said is done in CNET's review, so just a couple of thoughts here.
I was an ardent Nokia supporter till when 6233 came out, and I got one. It's LCD cracked in the same week I got, and, if you are willing to take my words for it, I did not have the heart to bump anything to it, much less dropped it. With tender loving care, I drew the phone out of my pocket to stare at a broken LCD.
Same story as many people had told: went to Nokia shop, reply gotten - "LCD not covered, corrosion not covered, superficial not covered, accidental or human mistakes not covered (by warranty), sorry we will void your warranty...".
Disappointed... till I got E51 after 3 to 4 years of ... Read more
Excellent all-in-one phone.

Pros: Slim design, connectivity options, good battery life, easy-to-use
Cons: Top row of "one-touch" access buttons a little small.
Opinion:
First off, you got to love it when morons like "lamborghini" rate items on CNet 1 out of 10, and just say "s*** design". Obviously doesn't even have the phone, and doesn't substantiate his rating at all. He's just like all the other morons who rate products on CNet that haven't even been released yet.
Anyway, sorry for the OT. I have had this phone for about 2 weeks now, and I have to say I'm rather impressed with this Nokia. I used to have a Nokia a few years back, but the Symbian OS back then really turned me off: it was slow, unintuitive and not user-friendly at all.
This new S60 Platform works very well. There's no lag at all on the E51, and the GUI is very straightforward.
Battery life on the E51 is decent. I have charged it about every 4 days, and that's on rather heavy usage.
The connectivity options ... Read more
