The second I get a spec sheet I will update this post, for now we know that the E51 has a 2 megapixel camera, WiFi, FM radio and runs S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1. It appears to be available in 3 colors: silver, black and bronze/pink.

Update: I don’t see an application key, do you? Say hello to the home key!
Update: The spec sheet is live! 2 inch screen, 320 x 240 resolution with 16 million colors, quadband GSM and dualband 3.6 Mbit/s HSDPA (850/2100), WiFi (802.11g), microSDHC card slot, 1070 mAh battery, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR + A2DP support and finally a weight of 100 grams at 114 x 46 x 12 mm.
Update: Here is a horribly blurry picture of the back of the silver version of the E51. New design pattern, ribbed for your pleasure. As a former E61i owner I can admit that your palm (NSDQ: PALM) gets sweaty and that phone slips out of your hand faster than you can say iPhone due to the flat surface. I welcome this new texture:
Looks great! Is this the thinnest S60 ever? Can’t recall what N76 measures at.
This is the replacement for my 6210 i was waiting for 7 years!
Great news and great business phone
Looks really good.. that steel back is just sexy
like my E61i
Nice nice and Nokia E51 is also ideal for any user wishing to leverage broadband connections to access mobile Internet telephony from homes and hotspots. For example, Gizmo, a Voice over IP (VoIP) application, is available for Nokia Eseries customers free of charge, enabling users to make and receive inexpensive calls from their mobile phones and chat or talk with friends who are online. Gizmo application is available to Nokia Eseries customers through the Nokia Download! application on their mobile phone.
In addition to increased features and functionality for business use, Nokia E51 lends itself well to personal use and offers a polished look for both business and personal use. The thin, stainless steel device is equipped with personal applications, including:
- FM radio, music and multimedia players
- 2 megapixel camera
- Nokia browser, serving as the gateway to a variety of Internet services including interoperability with Windows Live, providing mobile access to most popular Windows Live services including Hotmail, Messenger and Spaces, available through the Nokia Download! application
- Via the Download! application access to Yahoo Go! WidSets, and a number of travel, personal productivity and entertainment applications
I’m going to upgrade my E50 to this
