Nokia E51, now sans camera
Business folk tend to like cameras on their phones a lot less than the rest of us do, owing in no small part to the fact that a lot of companies really don't like their employees trolling around with intellectual property-stealing devices in tow. We can understand that -- RIM has a pretty good grip on the concept, too -- and now Nokia has introduced a cam-free variant of its biz-oriented E51 S60 candybar. It comes in at €100 less (about $147) than the original version, making it a great deal for people that either don't want or can't have the shooter on board, and all the other features carry over. Look for it in the next few weeks for €250 (about $368).[Via All About Symbian]
Nokia launches business-minded E51 handset
While Nokia didn't exactly choose the quietest day to launch its latest handset, the E51 is getting official, regardless. This candybar-styled device was designed with the suits in mind, as Nokia even touts its ability to "integrate tightly with corporate telephony systems (PBX) through Nokia Mobile Unified Communications solutions." Specs wise, you'll find a two-inch 320 x 240 resolution screen, two-megapixel camera, video streaming / playback with support for H.264 and Real codecs, video calling capability, integrated 802.11g, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, FM tuner, miniUSB, IrDA, GPRS / EGPRS and HSDPA compatibility, up to 130MB of memory, a microSD expansion slot, quad-band GSM and WCDMA 850/2100 support, and up to 4.4-hours of talk time (or 13 days in standby). The E51 is slated to ship globally in Q4 for €350 ($485) sans a contract, and if you're craving more pics, just hit up the gallery below.[Thanks, Nokie and James B.]%Gallery-7549%
