The E51 will have features like ‘one touch’ keys for easy access to contacts, calendar and messages, includes an FM Radio tuner, music and multimedia players, and comes with a 2 mega pixel camera. Users can also watch various programs from channels like CNN and Sky News on the go as Telstra has included its Foxtel Mobile service on the E51. In addition, the E51 will also have a ‘dual-mode’ handset function that claims to deliver desk phone calling features such as extension dialling, hold, transfer and conferencing, all on a mobile device, the company says.
