Nokia e51 = Internet + Lan Phone

ello guys i want to hit 3 birds with one stone
Anyhow here it goes
I need a internet connection and lanline ability to call via wireless as i have no phone line in my new unit for another 5 months.
As far as visible solution with no contract
This is my plan
-- Nokia e51
-- Three 3G HSDPA Broadband plan sim on $49 for 4 GB
-- VOIP application/subscription that will use phone's HSDPA internet
So basically The Nokia E51 will use the Three 3G sim card as HSDPA MODEM (internet) and will have the ability to use this internet to make phone calls via VOIP application/subscription
This is for home use only for me and the wife to browse the net and use it when making lan line phone calls not as a mobile phone
Will this work for me?
Will it be efficient?
Or i am asking for too much?
Please give feedback guys!!

Well, it seems a good idea by doing this, but the question is, all you need is just a modem, not a phone.
Do you have any idea why should it be a phone, not a modem?
Well, to answer your question, e51 got the ability to do all the things you need, except the battery life.

  • Pc suite fails to connect nokia e51 to internet.

    I have recently installed antivirus software on my computer (avg ver. 8.5) i run windows xp sp 3. I have a nokia E51 and can connect to the internet directly with the handset however when i connect the handset to the computer via the dke-2 cable and use nokia pc quite ver 7.1.26.0 it fails to establish a connection. Please advise

    Temporary disable the anti virus and see if it works. If it does then you are sure that the anti virus is blocking the connection. If that is the case then you will have to create an exception rule on the anti virus for the phone

  • VoiP on Nokia E51 - Help Needed Urgently !!!

    I am located in Copenhagen Denmark and I use a wireless network to connect to the internet. My Nokia E51 is also able to detect the same network when I scan for WLAN. However when I try to use it to make a net call it says ''NO WLAN COVERAGE FOUND''.
    Probably a step by step guidance to configure the following would be useful -
    - Wireless LAN
    - SIP Settings
    - Internet Tel
    Help Please

    Hi
    Thanks to bife71 for the reply. The phone was able to detect the wireless network and I was able to use the Gizmo feature to make calls. The network name I was using was ''Netgear''. But since one month I shifted to a new apartment and there the network name is ''NETWORK'', and when I tried to connect using my E51, the WLAN scan is not able to pick up the wireless network at all. I use the same connection to browse the net and the connection is good. But the phone is not able to detect this connection and I am not able to make calls.
    HELP PLEASE !!! Telephone charges are lot in Copenhagen and I badly need to use the Voip function for which I bought E51.

  • After software update my Nokia E51 has lost intere...

    Yesterday I did for the first time my Nokia E51 software update. I followed after instruction, update has installed properly. After update I backed up my phone data and settings. But there is one problem. After update my phone lost internet connection. Everytime when I try to go to the internet my phone is connecting Vodafone Live, but after that always appears such error: Web: connection time out.
    I wanted setup internet settings here, but I see that Nokia doesn't do automatic setup anymore Hell, how it was helpful and handy!!!
    I was also on my mobile provider's (Vodafone) website, but they doesn't have any manuals for this kind of Nokia like mine.
    Do you have any suggestions what should I do?
    My mobile model: Nokia E51
    Provider: Vodafone (Ireland)
    I'll be grateful for any help and advices.

    If your computer is stuck restarting, hold the Power button to turn off your MacBook Pro and turn it on again. As the installation finished previously, nothing will get damaged

  • NOKIA E51 - Is it possible to search contacts in a...

    I have a new Nokia E51, very great device, but I have to manage 2243 contacts (!). The (new) actual searching contacts way is just crazy for me: if I try to write the word john... the phone shows me hundreds of contacts with that part of word.
    I'd like to know if there is a way to set the phone so to search contacts using names in the usual alphabetical order: just writing the first letter, than the second ,the third, and so on?
    Somebody on this forum suggested to use Text-Quick (http://mind-flip.com/textquick/index.html) but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work in that way, but just keeping memory of more searched contacts.
    It is really really annoying the way it searches.
    Help please!
    Somebody else on this forum said It is a bit counter intuitive at first, but once you get used to it the wider search is actually much better than the first name search (particularly if your memory for names isn't too great) but what you can do if you have thousands of contacts?
    There will be soon an alternative option in the contacts settings for next E51 firmware?
    Thank you

    You wanna know the weirdest thing...
    In my E51 it DOESN'T search for any string even in the middle.. it only searches alphabetically on the first name or the last name. But not something in the middle.
    HOWEVER, other applications that show the contact list, such as Fring, *DO* search on any in-between string.
    So apparently the phone can do both.. I don't see it as a setting though.
    As a personal preference I think I would prefer being able to search for any in-between string.. I mean to me it just seems like a natural transition from the old days when contact names were in SIM memory and you only had like 8 characters to enter someone so you ended up with loads of "John K", "JLee" and other cryptic but short names.
    These days I would recommend that if your contact is called "John Samolowicz" to actually spell that out in the appropriate fields. Then you find someone instantly by searching for something more unique than his first name...
    AND/OR use the 'Groups' feature: If you put people in groups then simply moving to the tab to the right from the contacts list would give you a much reduced list of people in a particular group; Don't tell me that you actually CALL 2000 people on a regular basis..
    To search middle string, use the SEARCH from OFFICE Folder. You can find on the Contact part of search result.

  • Need Help : Nokia E51 Audio Theme

    Hello everyone,
    Please Help me, How to get Audio Themes Installed on my Nokia E51.
    My E51 doesnot show any options to Install the same.
    Though I have seen other e51 with my collegue having Audio Theme option in his phone.
    Help Appreciated
    ThankX in Advance

    You are not alone. I bought a new E51 from a U.S. "lowest price" cellular phone source. The one I received was designed for the Southeast Asia market and did not come with Audio Themes as an option under "Themes" I downloaded a theme set from this site and I found it installed under "Media." Seems that some Nokia E51's don't come with the Audio Theme feature.
    If anyone has anything to contribute this, I think it would be very helpful.
    Thanks,

  • Thai Language on Nokia E51

    Hi
    How do i install Thai language on a Nokia E51 ??
    it is an european phone bought in Denmark my wife is from Thailand and need Thai language.
    i dont want to travel to Thailand to get it updated but cant find software on Nokia homepage.

    Your phone is meant for the European market, hence no Thai in the language options. A language pack containing Thai can be installed by a Nokia Care Point but you may lose the languages you currently have except English which is in every language pack. Not all care points offer this service so you may want to ring them first.The phone will revert back to the original languages if you should reinstall or update the phones firmware.
      You can find your nearest Nokia Care Point at:

    Because I am just an end-user like, we can only hope, a Nokia employee is working on this already.
    In the meantime, please, dial *#0000# and give us your current version. Furthermore, below the battery there is a 7-character code starting with 05… (Nokia Product Code). We need those two information whether your Nokia is on the latest firmware version and/or on the correct firmware variant.

  • Nokia E51 - Can't set clock alarm tone

    Hey there people!
    My device is Nokia E51, and for some, bizarre reason, I can't set the clock alarm tone.
    When I choose the sub-menu "Clock alarm tone" a list of songs/audio files on the phone is supposed to load.... but nothing there. The phone doesn't even give me any options to choose from. I actually find this quite frustrating and annoying because I'm trying to do something very basic here.
    I've attached a capture.
    Thanks for helpers. 
    Solved!

    Well the reason I asked about the large number of audio files is because it appears to be a common bug across many of nokias phones.   When you have a large number of audio files (either on the card or on the phone itself) the phone apparently gets 'confused' and is unable to load up the selection of ringtones or music files to use as a ringtone.
    The only solutions would be to either:
    1)  Delete songs until the ringtone menu goes back to normal
    2)  Do what you have done with copying it to the phone then removing the memory card to be able to select the file.. then reinsert the memory card
    Nokia just needs to get their act together. They should seperate ringtones from the music files.  This way when you go to select a ringtone.. it will ask to either choose a ringtone from a list.. or to select one of your mp3s from a list. This way keeping it seperate.  But that would be extra menus to navigate and people probably wouldnt like it.
    But if they did it that way then they could use the mp3 listings by album, artist, song title, etc to allow people to choose the music files they want as a ringtone.  It would be easier to do that then continually scroll through huge lists

  • Nokia E51 iSync with MacBook OS 10.4.11 problems now when never before

    I've been happily syncing my Nokia E51 via iSync with my MacBook running OS X Tiger 10.4.11 for probably a year. Now all of a sudden it refuses to sync & the phone says "system error" as soon as I try to connect via Bluetooth.
    I've downloaded the latest plugin, everything is up to date as recommended.
    I've tried deleting the phone from Bluetooth & re-adding it again, ditto with the iSync software. Nothing seems to work.
    Anyone got any ideas? I desperately want to backup all the phone numbers on my phone onto my computer in case I lose it.
    Thanks!

    i hope somebody can help me ... plizz....
    thank you

    Its not something that SKYPE doesn't know about. This same problem has been going on intermittently since 2011. (There are posts that date back to January 2011)
    This seems to be a problem that Skype is unwilling to solve or fix.
    Perhaps if people called the Better Buisness Bureau and other authorities like the FCC, perhaps after a few million in fines they'll be willing to actually fix the problem.
    IF their company is not in the US, then they can be banned from operating in the US. This would create a problem for them as all countries would follow suit...except china.
    This problem might be considered a fraudulent service as you are paying for a service you can not use or promised services are not available as stated.
    So all the "moderators" that try to regurgitate the "make sure..." manifesto don't really have a clue. Its also not possible to hold moderators responsible for "placating" people with BS solutions as their usually not part of the company nor are they being paid to "moderate" forums.
    The only thing you can truly do is cancel your sub for Skype or just not renew it when it ends, this is what I plan to do. I can get vonage and pay a bit more and get problems solved. Perhaps when they lose a few million "PAYING" customers they'll acvtually get a proper support service and start acting like they have a service to render.
    Thats my advice, like it or lump it you know I'm right. So go get vonage for VOIP and drop Skype until they get a clue as to what their doing.

  • Upper left button does not work (Nokia E51)

    Hi,
    I have Nokia E51 and only the upper left button of it has not been working since this afternoon, which unlocks the keys (other keys give response.) The phone has not prone to any physical damage or excessive heat so far and I have not made connection with either any computer or another phone. In addition, my father has same phone and he has been experiencing the same problem for a few hours too. 
    However, the lights on the left side buttons is not working for a long time but I don't know the reason of that also.
    I cannot unlock the keys by plugging off the battery. Have you ever experienced same kind of problem and is there anyone who knows the reason or could offer some temporary or permanent solution?
    Thanks,

    try removing the battery for ten mins then try updating the firmware
    try these steps 1st and we take it from there
