Nokia drops another E(series)

E51

That there be the new Nokia Eseries, the E51. Lurking beneath its uninspiring exterior (hey, it’s for business, it has to look ‘serious’), the E51 sports some fairly punchy specs: 11g wi-fi, 3.6Mbit HSDPA 3G, QVGA screen, 2MP camera, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, GSM 850/ 900/ 1800/ 1900 and WCDMA 850/ 2100 support, 130MB memory and up to 4GB on a microSD card, plus a micro USB socket for synch and charging. See? Serious.

But this being a business phone, it’s the software features that will really matter. The E51 supports a variety of email systems, including Microsoft ActiveSync and Mail for Exchange, Visto Mobile, and Seven Always-on. There’s also VoIP calling out of the box with Gizmo, conference calling features, a call recorder, a customisable home screen, and Quickoffice on-board. Pretty well loaded for an estimated off-contract price of €350/ £240.
