Nokia E51 Smartphone on O2 & Hotmail
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Phone: This is a beautiful looking phone, sleek in design and feels tiny in your hand. It is a little heavy but this is easily made up for it being steel. You can feel reassured of its strength and durability, and it will cling to your car dashboard by a proprietary magnet, e.g. Krusell.
OS: If you have O2 and Hotmail, then forget it. The only reason I bought a smartphone, and I love Nokia, was to read my Hotmail emails. Not much to ask I thought but seemingly impossible to execute. Yahoo! absolutely no problem, web pages even MSN fine, but no Hotmail. O2 tell me you have to have a paying contract with MSN for some reason. After duly paying MSN £14.99 for Hotmail Plus I had high hopes. It let me read double the emails I had before, i.e. 2! Then it just kept reloading again. I am abandoning Nokia and going to try a phone with Windows Mobile 6 on. If that doesn't work, then it must be Hotmail.
Conclusion: If you have ANY other email client, then this phone is the bees knees. If I fail with the Windows OS, then I will definitely go back to the E51 and just bin my email provider.
A GREAT PHONE WITHOUT HOTMAIL!
