Nokia E51 Review by erazer007
The E51 is a mobile phone by Nokia..I have written a review
on it.Please read it and give your opinions.I thank WOM WORLD for
giving me this device for trialing.Advantages
Excellnt Build Quality
Good Call Quality
Materials Used
Good Kepad
Wide Range Of Connectivity Features
Disadvantages
Bad Camera
Average Sound Quality
Design and Materials
The design of the e51 is very normal but it is the build quality and
the materials used that make it very special. The handset is a candy
bar. The materials used on the phone are plastic and metal. The phone
that I am trialing is black in color. The battery cover and the outer
rim on the front side of the phone. The phone is a fingerprint magnet
because of the metal used and this is the reason why they provide a
cleaning cloth.
Build Quality
The build quality on the phone is absolutely brilliant. The phone
feels very solid as if it is made of one single piece. There are no
creaks and the phone feels good to hold as the back is metal. The phone
will not slip from the hand as there are engravings on the battery
cover which provide grip
Keys
The keys on the phone feel good to use because they provide proper
feedback. They appear to be made by a mix of plastic and rubber. The
size if the keys are even suitable for people with big hands and
fingers. The keys too do not creak when pressed
(people who have used the n95 may have noticed the number keys creaking
after some weeks of usage).the d-pad is a five directional one and has
a chrome outer ring. It makes navigation quite easy.
Call Quality
The call quality as in all e-series phones which are aimed for
business customers(people who talk a lot over the phone)is absolutely
brilliant. The earpiece provides very good volume without any
disturbance while talking. But if you use the loudspeaker at high
volumes, the sound gets distorted. But the earpiece even at max volume
provides crystal clear sound quality.
Connectivity
The phone provides the user with all the latest means of
connectivity thus allowing to access internet and data at any place and
time. Surfing the net is quite fast however viewing pages can be quite
uncomfortable due to the small screen.
Screen
The screen in the e51 is very good. It is very bright and has decent
legibility under sunlight. Viewing pictures etc is not a problem. But
it may not be suitable for watching movies etc due to its small size.
The screen is protected by a plastic cover over the screen.
Camera
The camera in the e51 has a resolution of 2 megapixels. But the
camera lacks autofocus and flash. Due to this taking photos in the dark
and close-ups can be difficult. You can get a decent picture under good
conditions. The video quality is just ok. It’s nothing compared to the
phones with 30fps though.
Music and Video
The music player on the e51 is just basic and nothing like the ones
found on the n-series.the sound quality is not even close to the ones
in n81 etc. The video is good in quality but uncomfortable to watch on
its small screen.
UI
The UI as in any S60 phone is brilliant. The phone is S60 3rd
edition Feature Pack 1. The menus etc are customizable with themes,
wallpapers, screensavers etc. Even a new person who is new to the S60
scene can easily understand and use the phone.
Memory
The built-in memory of the phone is 138MB.The memory can be expanded
using micro-SD cards of up to 8GB capacity. Though the memory is hot
swap, we have to remove the battery cover to insert the card, but there
is an advantage as we don’t have to take the battery out.
Conclusion
The E51 is a wonderful device by Nokia. It does everything a
business man would need a phone to do. The call quality, usability,
build quality etc. The only drawbacks are the areas where a business
man thinks are secondary such as the camera, small screen etc. to round
up, this is another good phone from Nokia.
I nickname the device IRONMAN .
