    Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

    Strengths: Size, Symbian OS, Signal strength, Expandable memory, WiFi

    Weaknesses:Side buttons, Button clicking noise, Camera position, Non-US 3G

    Overall Evaluation: I upgraded to the E51 from a Samsung t809. So far, I'm satisfied with the purchase. One of the biggest reasons I got this phone was because it has WiFi. It works pretty well for the most part, but the browser and connecting can be clunky at times. The Symbias OS is also great. I like the ability to download and install apps from online. There is a fairly robust amount of free apps including games and programs. I've had occasional problems with some apps though. Sometimes they'll temporarily freeze the phone or won't load. Even once, an app crashed my phone and when I rebooted, some of my apps were missing. The signal strength is an improvement from the t809, getting service in places where I use to not be able to. Expandable memory is great, and I have already put in a 4 GB microsdhc. The side buttons, such as the on/off and volume buttons can be difficult to press. You have to press down on them hard and very direct. The navigation/arrow keys make a clicking noise. The camera should probably be higher up as I sometimes touch it with my fingers wrapped around the phone. The 3G network does not appear to work in the US, at least with T-mobile service. Overall this is a great phone with a solid build design, many useful features, and lots of online applications.

    Strengths: Super Speedy Phone - This phone is not 3G in the USA but because the processor is so fast, it compares to 3G on an edge network.

    Weaknesses:None, really.

    Overall Evaluation: The guy above noted that you have to type the words out, that is wrong, when you are in a typing mode, you have to choose "options" and turn on predictive text. I am not sure why it's not turned on automatically.Also this phone uses MicroSDHC cards so you can use any size MicroSD card up to 4GB, so take that, Apple! This phone does it all - Music, Internet, PDA for both Mac & Windows. Nokia has a sync software that will sync your itunes playlists with the phone. Battery life is awesome. The phone is a rockstar!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Sleek, small and sexy!

    Weaknesses:A few personal dislikes of the operating system, but nothing major.

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this phone to replace my T-Mobile SDA (which was running WindowsMobile), and have been very happy with the upgrade; the E51 is lighter and thinner and offers much more functionality. It fits in my pocket and I don't feel that there is a lot of bulk there!The screen is very nice, as are most of the functions, but it is just a matter of me getting accustomed to the new OS. For sure the searching of contacts is unduly combersome. On the SDA, you would press each key once and the software would work out all combination of those series of buttons and give you the contact you want in 3 keystrokes or less. However, with the Nokia OS, you have to press each key multiple times to get the letter you want (as in texting)! It thus takes many more keystrokes to find the same contact. As I said, unnecessarily combersome!I will get accustomed to it and I know the benefits of this new phone outweigh the downside!...You will not be disappointed if you buy this phone. The trick is to find one in stock!
