Nokia E61i Review - 3G, ” Nokia’s E61i is built on latest edition of the Series 60 Platform, an easy-to-use smartphone software platform. Series 60 third-edition 9.1a together, with Symbian OS 9.1, provides an identical application environment. This is powered by ARM9-based processor running at 222 MHz. The E61i is 3G UMTS only so HSDPA speeds will not be achieved.The E61 has Wi-Fi built in, so if you are in the vicinity of a network you can use for free you don’t even have to pay connection charges for email retrieval. Bluetooth is here too, and so is infra red, which means you have the full monty of wireless communications options. “
Full review of Nokia E61i review.
This is an absolutely fantastic BUSINESS phone!
As a freak of the smartphones/PDAs that I am, Ive had the XDAMini, the Treo 750, the 9300i, the P910i, the N80, etc …even the first S60 (back then) the 7650! But I must say Nokia really (FINALLY rather) hit the bullseye with the E61i…
The only things believe needs improving is the screen’s “backlight” that could be brighter (specially when in a sunny place), and the numbers (on the keyboard) that could be clearer (not with that blue backround that makes them difficult to read when the backlight is on, in a place that really isnt that dark, because they are “written” in silver… not even in white…)
So, as I see it, Nokia have 2 final “challanges” to achive: BY WHEN A TOUCHSCREEN, and a device that charges also out of the USB!? (I mean, COME ON! …the E61i is a business phone!)
I charge E61i via USB, I bought a special cable from boxwave for my E61, it works perfectly with my brand new E61i. (http://www.boxwave.com/products/minisync/minisync-retractable-cable-nokia-e61_2042.htm)
This is a fantastic BUSINESS phone.
