Nokia E51 side buttons (made of rubber) are very poor quality!

Apr 22, 2009

Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: Decent Phone. Nothing exceptional considering the price that it comes for.
Cons: The side and top rubber buttons did not last 6 months (the phone was not misused). Replacement cost under warranty is US$ 30.
Opinion:
Disappointed that Nokia too has started encashing its brand name and lost focus on quality. Yes, they might be putting across some great combination of features and new technologies, but whats the point if the products are now being sold with an idea of being replaced every year. The rubber buttons on this not-so-cheap phone did not last 6 months. I tried to reason with their care center that the handset was under warranty, but apparently this is not covered under warranty and will cost me US$ 30 (INR 1450) for replacing those cheap side rubber buttons (here in New Delhi, India). I have no intention of paying that much for that little and will have the buttons replaced at the local shop for less than a dollar. And my next phone definitely will not be a Nokia.

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Resilient, Has everything you need for a connected phone, Wifi, Bluetooth etc
Cons: The rubber buttongs on the side of the phone and the power button
Opinion:
The low quality rubber buttons wear off very easily due to heat and use. Mine already dropped off exposing the real buttons inside. Difficult to sell of due to this fault...

An awesome device.

Pros: Smooth OS, Wi-fi availability, a very reasonable price.
Cons: Not so great camera, rubber side keys that are hard to press.
Opinion:
This phone marks the entry into the business phones world. Not only because of it looks, but also because of its price. The phone might look like an ordinary everyday phone, but it has the features that can cause envy.

To me, it seems this phone inspires the looks of E71. The features are not any less than e71 either.
The camera is pretty bad, but at the end of the day, you can compromise the camera features for the overall quality.

All in all, one planning to buy this phone should do it unhesitatingly.
