if you are gonna buy n70 or n72 around 8-9k, it is better to spend 1.5k more and get E51. Or else Nokia 6300 for 7-8k.

I agree. N70/72 are really outdated and not worth their price. Either put in 1-2k extra and get E51. Or spend 1-2K less and get E50/6300

Thanks guys but I am not particularly fond of the 6300 (looks girlish imho) and after the e50 fiasco am totally not going to go in for that .I think e51 sounds like the next one to go in for then.
How about sony phones ? Any ericsson models which i might get under 10k?

Hey Sam,
Heres a good phone for under 10K, plus satisfies your want for music and looks great.

Link - Nokia India - 5310 XpressMusic Mobile Phone ? Slim Music Phone
P.S. Looks way better in reality.

Its a very nice smartphone for the price it comes at.
- Complete QWERTY keypad with well spaced out keys, tactile feedback and easy to type
- Comes with a decent camera for a smartphone
- Software is a bit slow, but very able and more than sufficient for the average user
- Email compatibility is amazing. Its is BB enabled and takes almost all push email systems easily
- the center D-pad has a very easy to use and click interface
- Battery life is decent. Mine lasts for 2 days with full call, SMS and WLAN usage

Hey Viper, from where did you buy the E51 at Rs 10,950/- with bill and warranty? Is the 1GB card included in the above price? You bought the full black color right?

Any feedback on the usage till now?

Received this video a few days back & was blown away when I watched it. It's an animated look into the future of mobile devices as we know them now & what effect Nano-technology will have on them. Produced by the Cambridge center for Nano technology & Nokia, it sure is an eye opener & a fascinating insight into what we might regards as mobile devices in the near future!

Hi,

I gifted myself a Plam Treo 750 this week-end. It comes with Windows 6.0.

Till now my experiences with it are -

1. It is definitely much quicker than E61.
2. The interface is much more intuitive than Symbian's.
3. Browser is not as good as Symbian. There is no mouse pointer, links have to be cliccked by stylus; thus I can't surf with one hand.
4. Browser doesn't render pages well. Even my N73's browser renders pages much better than this. Moneycontrol and Orkut sites are absolutely unusable.
5. For some weird reason I am not able to login to icicibank.com; it says that lohin id/password wrong. But ICICIDirect working fine.

Hi,

Got it from my regular phone supplier. I like the phone so much that I am going in the next hour to exchange my E61i for it. I love the speed of the phone. The E61i speed feels ancient in comparison.

More dilemma for me. I was supposed to get the E61i today evening. I even switched to airtel to get the blackberry services. Suddenly I have been reading better reviews on the E51.

The issue is that no provider in India is giving blackberry on E51. They have it only for E61i, E50 and some others. I dont see the link to download BB connect for E51 anywhere.
