It’s been a while since I bought my Nokia E51 and it seems not so new and great anymore after iPhone and so many other mobile phones have been released. Well, I think it still kicks ass. When I was looking for a new cell phone I was mainly thinking of Internet browsing (using Wi-Fi), checking e-mails and reading ebooks. Nokia E51 does all these things and many more. Since it works on an open source Symbian S60 system, I can download and install (and I did) very many applications like movie player, mp3 player, internet radio (cool!), maps and whatever else comes to your mind.
To be honest, I almost don’t use mp3 player and movie player, I use internet radio from time to time, but I simply love the ebook reader I installed – MobiReader. When I tell people that I read books on my phone, they don’t believe and sometimes they laugh. In fact I find it much easier to read books on my mobile, because the screen is always well visible despite of the light in a room or wherever I am at that moment. It is also very light while big books tire my hand pretty fast. One may tell the screen is small (which is untrue) so the letters will be so little that reading them will tire one’s eyes, but you can amend the size of the letters. Let’s avoid too much talking. Look for yourself (click to enlarge).
What else? Nah, not much, so I will just throw some specifications:
Key Features are:
- HSDPA
- 100 Grams in weight
- 16 Million colours, 2 inches 240×320 pixels display
- WiFi with VOIP capabilities
- Symbian OS 9.1
- 2 Megapixel Camera
