Mobile Phones - Nokia

Nokia announced the newest E-series device, the E51 Smartphone, a followup to the entry-level E50 smartphone. The E51 is a phone with a candybar form, 2 megapixel camera, WiFi, and an FM Radio.

The E51 runs Symbian S60 3rd Edition, with Feature Pack 1 and has dedicated buttons to access your Contacts, Calendar, and Email. An interesting point is that the typical S60 menu key has been changed to a "home" key, with an icon closely resembling the Windows Mobile home key.

The E51 features quad-band GSM support, as well as HSDPA on the 850/2100 bands. The E51 supports microSD cards up to 4GB, and has Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR for fast data transmissions. Connectivity options include a mini-USB connector and 2.5mm audio jack.
