Nokia E51 whistles and bells

Did I tell you how much I like this phone?

Some background

I like a cellular first to be a cell phone: good and loud sound, good coverage, many contacts, long battery, strong built. A must have is the clock and the alarm, but that should be included in the packet (I never saw a cell phone without).

Then, it might need to have basic agenda functionality: calendar, notes. That is something I like more and more, I use to keep notes and reminders everyday now.

Radio, Flash Disk support and Bluetooth would be a plus, 'though I might live without them. Now that almost all phones has these, I don't mind. I get used with them more and more.

I wish it would have wireless connection and the ability to install applications. That would open a whole new world to it: internet calls, email checking and other internet staff - all at a fraction of the cost, because wireless is everywhere around us.

Ladies and gentlemen, here is the winner: Nokia E51. Because it's mine and it fits my needs!

As a bonus, I installed some software which extends its basic functionality:

At a decent price, I guess I did a good job! Thanks Nokia for building, from time to time, some good products!
