Nokia E51 has been around for a while now. I had a chance to buy one for myself. The mobile is a marvel. Everything you expect out of 11G is perfectly packed into that sleek looking thing. Some of the things i like about this mobile,
1) Wi-Fi enabled : I have wifi at home and office and these are the pretty much the places where you will find me at any point of time except ofcourse the travelling time. My Nokia E51 seemlessly connects to the available WLAN and the applications have no problem switching instantly.
2)Push Mail : When at work i want to work as fast and effectively as possible without having to look-up mails and messages constantly. My E51 notifies me about new “important” mails with a beep and sits quietly in a corner until i pick “her” up and read the mails. It has a decent built in voice synthesizer . I am yet to figure out the settings that will make it read out the mail .
3)Media : 2Mp camera, visual radio, decent mp3 playback , voice recorder. E51 is packed with all these stuff. Imagine taking a picture when you are listening to the radio and posting it to you picasa album all in one device.Cool huh!?
4)Simple navigation : My E51 came with S60 mobile OS. The navigation is like a breeze . I am not a great fan of touch screen so i don’t regret much. Besides, the keys in E51 are well aligned,neatly placed and almost flat . I have no trouble churning out my emails and messages using the keypad.
5)Sync up with PC: E51 comes with Edge technology that allows you to browse the internet over your voice service. You just have to activate the plan which could cost you on a per month basis. The PC suite that came in a cd has all the sync options i needed including,
- convert and sync audio instantly
- image sync
- contacts and
- calendar and most importantly,
- application installer
6)Cool applications : If you are owner of E51 you will typically end up browsing through a whole collection of applications each one of which promises to make life easier for you. I found applications like frings (mobile messenger thats like pidgin in linux) and touchticker ( that reads rss feeds from the internet and churns out news snippets). The installation is made very simple via the PC suite.
These are some of the cool stuff i found so far though i am constantly experimenting . I will keep you all posted. Thanks for passing by.
Nishant.
