carl0s Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I always liked my E50, but it was dog-slow, and didn't have good data connectivity (no 3G). It was however almost indestructible and it did the Mail-for-Exchange stuff well enough. Anyhow, I replaced it with an E65, which I've been really happy with even though I thought I didn't like sliders. The E65 has a bigger screen which is nice for TomTom, and it has 3G & Wireless. It could still be faster though, and I smashed the screen on Saturday. I kept wishing Nokia would do a Business smartphone (E-series) with the technical features of some of the N-series phones. Enter the E51! This baby has HSDPA (3.6mbps downloading if your operator supports it (Orange are behind the pack on this I think, T-Mobile are the leaders I think). It also has more RAM, which is a common Symbian complaint, and a faster processor than most others. It has 96mb RAM, which leaves 50mb free after the phone is running normally, and a 369MHz processor. The E65 has 64mb RAM leaving 24mb free, and a 220MHz processor. The N95, everybody's favourite super gadget, has 64mb RAM leaving 18mb free for applications, and a 332MHz processor. I thought the N95 was nice and fast too. Interestingly, there's an "N95 3-NAM" listed on the Nokia tech specs website. I wonder if that means "North American Market". It has 128mb RAM anyway. Nice that they fixed the piss poor lack of memory for the yanks.. (tech specs here: http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/matrix_all_1.html ) Best of all though, carphone warehouse are doing the phone, as an o2 pay-as-you-go deal, for £169 + £10 topup. They say the phone is unlocked to any network. I have a feeling they forgot to add on the VAT, but that's a bargain. It's not listed on their website, or O2's website, but I asked in the Trafford Centre Carphone Warehouse at the weekend, and I just walked into another one on a local industrial estate and have paid for it. It's coming tomrrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Ah, here's something I didn't know/notice.. The N95 has dual 332MHz processors. How cool's that! My E51 will be slower then.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 D'oh. My E65 is dual CPU too. Dual 220Mhz ARM 9. I wonder if the single 369MHz ARM11 in the E51 will actually be any quicker.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 LOL, must admit if I was going down that route again it would have to have a keyboard, had a treo 650 in the past and was fantastic, just find the old thumb text entry a pita when doing emails and such like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 I'm quite comfortable with the predictive text now, and I don't send many emails, I just receive them and use it for OTA calendar sync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
