The new Nokia E51 is set to remedy the mistakes of the much unloved E50 that preceded it.

The E50 was a good handset as it were but just never caught on with the business user that it was predominantly aimed at. The E51 stands to correct those mistakes and turn into the mobile phone of choice for the business user - this also slots neatly into place with the demise of the Nokia 6230i the preferred business choice.

The Nokia E51 is in short a symbian S60 3rd edition smartphone handset. It's quad band and 3G which again will suit the traveling professional user. WiFi is also now included which makes perfect sense for an accessory to a laptop. The display is the now familiar 16 million colours and memory is an impressive 130Mb which is also expandable via microSD.

On the lighter side the Nokia E51 features an FM radio, multimedia player, 2Mp camera & Java games and applications.
