TK!,I haven't used skype...I use Fring which has Skype built in, it's also free. Slightly buggy , but for the most part works well.

It's just the workmanship and build quality of the phone is UNMATCHED! It was the first E series to be built that way (metal on metal) and the others have been following suit ever since. The E71 is the most popular "newer" example of such.
Selling the E51 was much easier than selling the N82 despite the better camera and bigger screen. When I took the phone out for the E51 buyer, first comment=WOW

Loved that phone man.
It's natural evolution is the E55...anyone been looking at this one yet?
