Wireless chargingNoneNone
Battery life detailBP-4L 1500 mAh Li-Po; maker datasheet claims up to eight hours GSM/six hours WCDMA talk and 23 days GSM/29 days WCDMA standby. Review endurance varies with use; not video playback.Removable BP-5L 1500 mAh; exact guide's battery chapter calls it Li-Polymer, while its accessory list says Li-Ion. Maker claims up to 5.5 hours GSM talk and 14 days idle; launch release says approximately five hours. Review tests use different conditions, not video playback.
Wired chargingCharges through micro-USB, including a compatible USB data cable; exact guide says cable charging is slower and a USB hub may not work. No charging wattage inferred.Separate battery charger connector; AC-4 travel charger and DC-4 mobile charger in the exact guide. No charging wattage inferred.

Software featuresMaker datasheet lists Quickoffice editors, mobile VPN and business/personal email. Both production reviews test supplied editing; owner guide qualifies editing as requiring the editor version. Early firmware/service differences retained, with no claim that historical online services still operate.Maker launch and exact guide support creating/editing documents, spreadsheets and presentations, PDF viewing, HTML/WAP browsing, email, instant messaging, VPN and synchronisation. Guide/launch carrier services may no longer operate; not a promise of present network support.
Release detailNokia announced E52 on 6 May 2009 and planned second-half2009 availability. Maker's 2009 sustainability report lists it among products launched that year, and August production reviews establish retail units. Earliest maker-supported on-sale month unresolved, so year precision retained. No E51 predecessor link inferred from secondary descriptions.Announced by Nokia/Cingular on 12 September 2006 with US retail planned for 29 September; contemporaneous actual-sale coverage confirms Cingular shipping that day. Month precision retained because an earlier worldwide first-sale day is unresolved. Separate regional E61-related hardware, not an inferred successor.
