Fast and Furious phone

May 12, 2008

Rating: 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...

May 2, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
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.

Apr 16, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
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.

s*** design

Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: none
Cons: loads
Opinion:
never seen such a ugly phone

 

Best Business phone for now

Apr 15, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Feature full, Sleek design, good implementation of smart keys. Longer battery life than peer models
Cons: Poor volume control and On Off buttons. Some of the SMS features are missing, No front camera for video call
Opinion:
Apart from small missing features, this is by far the best business phone in this price range. Satisfactory performance and good battery life has made it stand out in crowd. I would recommend to anyone who is interested in rather a serious business phone.
