Overview

Nokia E51

Editors rating
Rating: 8.0
Verdict

If the Nokia E51 had a front-facing camera for video calling we'd be hard pressed to find fault with it. Even so, it's an excellent pocket-friendly Symbian smartphone that's packed with an impressive array of features.

Typical price

£ 254.95

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
