What purpose for Point and Find on E51?

Discussion for Nokia Point and Find

A similar question has been asked before, for a different device... I installed P&F to my E51 just to see what it does. It seems all the limitation footnotes do apply to this device though

¹ Shopping experience, or barcode scanning, not available on this device.
² City guide experience, or location-based tagging, not available on this device.
³ Movies experience, or image recognition, not available on this device.

So I wonder what the use case really is for the E51, and what the limitation is. I think the E51 has a reasonably fast processor, though the camera isn't all that great. I can understand how location-based tagging might not work without GPS).

That means this devices is essentially a text-only device that can only utilize the search directories and use only the text/webpage services.

Thank you,

As the OP said above, what is the point of supporting E51 if you can't do anything with it? I have a E52 but since that is not supported I also tried it on my older E51. Installed fine and was able to select 2D Barcodes and then camera view flashed briefly and then nothing... Am I missing something?

Sorry, didn't see the mod reply...
