See Deals. Compare Compare. Overview Deals Reviews Specs Deals. Informr score. The Nokia E51 currently has an Informr score of 7. This score is based on our evaluation of 8 sources including reviews from users and the web's most trusted critics.
Operating system. Screen Size. The loudspeaker worked as expected but isn't fantastically loud. Picture quality from the 2-megapixel camera is grainy when blown up but fine for MMS messages and small prints. You can also record video using the E51's camera but don't expect to shoot a hi-def short film.
Given its size, we were satisfied with the E51's battery life. Conclusion You may have started the review expecting something spectacular and then been disappointed that the E51 doesn't have a trick up its sleeve, but that's what makes it great -- it looks good, it's simple and it works.
Do you need anything else? It's not perfect and it's a little rough around its literal edge but overall we fell in love with this phone because it sticks to Nokia's old school winning formula of a simple phone that's easy to use and comes with a few extra features to boot. Pricing Not Available. Camera could be better; dedicated keys around the edge are tough to press. The Nokia E51 isn't about showing off. Even if it does look really good, it's about good old fashioned ease of use with fantastic features to boot.
The bank of keys above the number pad comprises the usual Call and End keys plus Nokia softmenu keys, the Nokia backspace key and a navigation key, as well as four additional shortcut keys. The navigation button is well designed, with a raised silver ridge indented towards its centre; it's thin, but easy to tap with a finger or thumb. In its centre sits a big select button, which is also comfortable to use.
The four additional shortcut keys, collectively known as 'one-touch keys', help you navigate around the E51's applications. The four keys each have three modes: short press, long press and double short press. Fortunately the functions are related. For example, a short tap on the email key opens the default email inbox, while a long press of the same key puts you straight into writing a new email. And with a double tap the default email box opens and then returns you to the previous application — effectively allowing you to do a quick check of your incoming email.
Similar functions exist for the Contacts key open contacts, create a new contact, return to the previous application , and the Calendar key open the calendar, create a new meeting, return to the previous application.
The fourth one-touch key is marked with the Home icon; here, a short press takes you to the applications menu, a second short press brings up the main 'active standby' screen and a long press delivers a list of currently running applications between which you can switch. Lacking a touchscreen, the E51 relies entirely on button-based navigation, and Nokia clearly thinks that businesspeople will react positively to the one-touch keys.
In our experience they certainly give quick and easy access to some of this smartphone's key features. There are also side mounted buttons, with the right edge housing volume controls and, between them, a button that mutes the microphone during calls. On the left edge is a button that can be used for voice commands and to initiate a voice recording. The screen is a 2in. Despite its small size, we found it remarkably easy to read — even when crammed with information.
Features The E51 is very well featured as far as communications capabilities are concerned. The chink in the armour is that video calling capability is limited: you can make video calls, but there's no front-facing camera, so you are limited to showing callers what you can see through the rear-facing one. The 2-megapixel camera at the back shoots stills at by and by pixels, and will shoot video too.
It's a mid-range unit, but perfectly adequate for the average business user. Wi-Fi can also be used for mobile email and web browsing, and in testing the latter we found the browser to be very good.
