| Nokia E51 compatibility with D3 |
|
My trusted k750i mobile is  'ed and - without boring you all with my contorted reasoning - I am considering the Nokia E51 which I have had a play with and it seems to do everything that I need --- but will it work with the blusetooth on the D3 ???
Any experience gratly appreciated. Also Gone : MY14 D4 SDV6 HSE : Barolo Black + Almond

I have had a Nokia E51 since December and it works brilliantly. Phonebook over bluetooth fine to my 2006 HSE.
Recommend the phone (although camera not great). Email etc is very good - but feels like a very neat phone as well.

Thanks Sturge - yep the E51 looks great . Really not worried about the camera as i have a few decent cameras kicking about anyway 
Do you get full functionality on your Bt - i.e. the infamous last 10 numbers dialed list ? Also Gone : MY14 D4 SDV6 HSE : Barolo Black + Almond

Don't know to be honest. To get at the phone book you get bluetooth showing on the radio screen (pressing the green dial button) then press the right track skip button and phone book appears. That's made such a difference to my life.
The only quirk I've found is that it shows every number as surname then first name which annoyed me. I changed all mine (by exporting to excel and tampering with them) with the full name as I want it in the surname field and not using the first name. Much easier.
What I do is enter my speed dials with a @ at the start of the name then they come up first on my list. Much easier.
It's a damn good phone though - recommend it to anyone.
Cheers
Paul

I now have my E51 and what a great phone - it does everything that I need in a nice form factor. Email works a treat - especially through Wi-Fi.
integration with the D3 is Ok but also found that it syncs with sunrname first (my old k750 you could configure this). I think that this is a Nokia thisng but it wont take me long to sort that out.
last 10 numbers is not included whihch is a shame but not essential. Also Gone : MY14 D4 SDV6 HSE : Barolo Black + Almond

Surname thing is odd, but I just exported my contacts to excel from outlook, shuffled them around by adding the first name to last name using excel commands, shoved the whole lot into surname field and then it works fine. I also put my 'speed dials' with an @ in front of the name so they pop up first on the radio screen.
Wifi is great for email - I have it pick up the wireless net at all my various clients and don't need to pay any data charges for the email.

thanks - I appreciate the tip of exporting to Xl to merge the names. I was planning to do this in outlook which was going to be painful.
I also use a similar thing for "speed dials" although I name mine "1 - Home", "2-voicemail", etc and this works a treat. Also Gone : MY14 D4 SDV6 HSE : Barolo Black + Almond
