Great phone, got it yesterday from a local store, with taxes and all it came to US$340. setting WLAN was a no brainer and finally finished the packet radio configuration with AT&T, next step is to set it to with CallManager to make it an extension of my office desk phone. Couple of things though. Does anybody hears a high frequency noise when the screen lights up? and how can I disable the keypad autolock feature?

          I bought the e51 a week ago.It cost me 12k Indian rupees at Chennai.It's a great phone for me, the minor problems are my hands are sweaty and the phone gets dirty,still phone covers are not available for E 51.When I tried hands free the receiver cud hear my voice but I could not.Can any body explain me or is the handset faulty.

            Did Any of u guys faced a network related problem.

            Please read thread
            http://discussions.nokia-asia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&message.id=15211&jump=true#M15211

            Well when every my phone steps out of connection due to unavailability and when it comes in a zone where network is on other phones. This phone doesn't seem to be working. I have to re-start the phone (Manual searching also doesnt work here)

              I own this phone since 2 months now .
              I saw some comments until now and makes me smile.
              The phone is bussiness oriented , so don't search flash camera , second video call camera - if you really need to be seen , just turn the main camera to you .
              The stainless steel case is very strong-no scratches at all and I dropped it twice.Nothing to do with cheap/weak plastic phones.
              You can see pictures in full screen.
              The screen is very bright and very sharp.
              You can increase the font size .
              You can disable the camera sound - just choose the "silent" mode in profiles.
              The MP3 player is great - very good sound,you can see even the art album .
              It is very fast compared to other smartphones - PDF and PPS/PPT files and/or attachements are opened in just one-two seconds.
              Very big internal memory (130 mb user memory and 96 mb sdram ).
              Support for microsd (transflash)hot swap - the only cons you have to open the back cover.
              Another cons -you cannot charge the battery using the embedded mini-usb connector .
              Good battery life - just put the phone in GSM mode (and not UMTS/dual) mode , if you are not using data services .
              The battery will last for one week , without using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (these are draining faster your battery).
              Browsing internet in the airport , checking your e-mails (pop3 , imap )makes it one of the best bussiness phones .
              The price and the small factor are very important , you have no another option on the market in this moment.
              If I would buy again the same phone ? Yes !

                  This phone is simply great. A simplified symbian. Connectivity is superb. Keypad/ phone ergonomics is easy on the hand, though the spacing in between keypads are quite loose. I only wish it had a front camera for video calling. But overall, it's a must have phone. The black one looks tech savvy and sexy, reminds me of.. (eugene:) He's my crush!

                            In my phone the lon prees of the # key leads to "Change outgoing phone line ?" Can this be changed thru Settings ??
