The E51 recall is going on now. It's been withdrawn from the Vodafone UK shops with no published date when it will be available for sale again.

Why is everyone so jumpy here. Phones always have a limited shelf life with operators (product lifecyscles for consumer electronics getting increasingly shorter in general). Show me one operator that has all the currently available phones in their programme? Anyone, Buhler....

Why does everyone to the conclusion the retirement is due to problems with the phone? I yet have to find a single substanciated post from some established community member (and not those 1st and 2nd post newcomers - scaremongering around). Then I believe it.

Until then - try to get a life, its too short to get all hung up whether a particular phone gets recalled or not...

ok here is my situation:

bought the device four weeks ago unbranded.
discovered that in dual mode after the mobile "tryed" to connect to 3G (which is not available at my place) it "registeres back" into my local GSM-Cell again - indicating a connection - but from that moment i am no longer available for incoming calls "is not available try again later"
i get the sms of the missed call immediately.
call myself again from fixed phone: not available.. + sms
check diversion to register my phone on the cell: after that check i can call my mobile again.

so i switched from dual to gsm only. But still I have this issue after moving arround. Interesting thing: it happens not allways - it seems to be a sporadic issue.

also I set my phone to stay on manual selection of my provide (T-Mobile Germany) as I live near a boarder and one get the foreign provider as the active one all the time (which is to expensive to me)

Also I never noticed a reboot of my phone.
Version is 100.34.20 / 29.9.07 / RM244 / Nokia E51 (02.1)

this is a very bad situation, as i never can tell if i am available by the status indicators on the phone.. i need to check diversion to make sure i am reachable.. or try to call my self to see if it responds.. thats what a mobile phone is for, isnt it?

I hope this can be fixed soon by a software update..
I also send a notice to nokia via online form - but no answer yet

dbug that is a very detailed and interesting description, I like to know if you get some follow up to that problem, I use mine locked in either mode, I avoid dual mode. I have not seen this problem on 3G networks and GSM in the Philippines, I wonder if it is a network issue

I have removed the sim from my e51. This phone usually works really nice.
I have tried inserting the battery and browsing using wifi, it did.
I removed the battery before switching off the phone.
Now the phone lights up the light on the top left corner, looks like it is doing something, then switches off light, and starts all over again.
I tried everything and at the moment no sim/micro are installed.
Anybody knows ?

The phone has been replaced by a new one at the repair center in 12 days.

"My E51 reboots randomly by itself"

No problem - this is a build in function in all Symbian phones. This rebooting occurs in all E-serias phones and N and...

My E90 reboots itself when I'm typing messages, navigating in phone's menus etc.. so - this must be build in function.

They call it Professional Windows Simulator [PWS]. This might be one of the best coded function from Nokia. This works in any Symbian phone.

Rob,

You have asked about a one-ear hands-free device for Nokia E51. The model HS-40 is very good, this is a mono version of the standard HS-7 stereo set. I use both in turns. HS-40 came with my Wife's Nokia 3110c.

Btw, my E51 does not reboot. It had problems with connectiong to the net via GPRS and via Bluetooth, but when I start Nokia PC Suite prior to Nokia Internet Connector and the phone appears as connected to the Bluetooth interface then everything goes on OK (but I never stay connected for hours).
