A colleague at work has one (black with camera, the cam's nothing special though), he's happy with it.
When you have specific questions, post them here and I'll ask him to-morrow.
In my country, it also is the cheapest phone with WiFi, when bought new, that is.

well what i am trying to find out is:
1.) does the phone hang up?
2.) is its speaker loud enough?
3.) how is its music player?
4.) is the phone fast while navigating through menus and opening applications, or does it lag?
5.) can i access and surf websites using wi-fi or not?

Well, as I said before, my colleague thinks his E51 is ok, he upgraded from E50, he likes these non-bulky, no-nonsense kind of phones.
Wifi is working fine on his phone, he uses it for free browsing at home or whenever there's a free access point available.
As for your other questions : I'll ask him asap  .

Emailed my colleague, here's his reply :
1.) does the phone hang up?
His is very stable, it's a business-phone though, not a multimedia-device and he treats it accordingly : he hasn't tons of apps installed, only those he really needs.
2.) is its speaker loud enough?
Loud enough and good voice quality.
3.) how is its music player?
Sound is good, functionality of the music player a bit less, than the Walkman player in his wife's SE W880i.
4.) is the phone fast while navigating through menus and opening applications, or does it lag?
Very fast, not laggy at all.
5.) can i access and surf websites using wi-fi or not?
Replied already to this question, WiFi is good and fast.
6.) overall how would the phone be rated?
Very good phone, but there are a few points you should keep in mind :
*The cam is absolutely not what we're use to atm, 2 megapixels but by far not as good as the 2 mp cam in the SE K750i, it's ok for daylight snapshots, but that's it.
*The on/off button is a bit difficult, you have to press it firmly.
*Dust seems to get easily behind the screen of these phones, the phone of my colleague doesn't have this problem, as he's bought a protective case for it, but two E51s of his brother and a friend both have this problem.
*With some E51s (not all), the back cover tends to sit loose after some time, my colleague's brother solved this by putting a folded piece of paper between battery and cover.
Overall conclusion : my colleague already was happy with his E50, and is even happier with this one  .
Dunno, whether you're going to buy it online, my colleague did, as it was cheaper. He ordered the silver one, it looked nice on the pic, but when he saw it in real life, it looked way too "bling-bling" for a business phone in his opinion, so he returned it and ordered the black one, this looks alot better imo.
Hope this helps .
