A phone full of posibilities, but lacks a LOT of performance. I currently have 173 contacts full of details and the phone can't handle it. If you have 10 contacts that will be fine. This is a phone only to watch technology possibilites, in terms of work, it doesn't fit... Great capabilities, but SLOOOOOWWWWW performance. VERY SLOW... Also lacks applications. The Quick Office package is a nice try, but only to try. When it comes to hard word, the device sits down and watch you... Maybe the E90 will be better for adult work, I'll give this E61 to my nephew so that he can play games with it...

I just got an unlimited data plan and was wondering, how do u use megaupload on s60v3 oss browser??? cause i can download from rapidshare,sendspace,etc. but not megaupload they keep on telling me to download megatoolbar.I cant cause i'm using the phone not a pc and i hate the inconvenience of downloading to my computer first and then transfering files to my phone.

I'm using the most of my E61 extremely for the last 1 year. This is my review, hope they helps for people who wants to own this phone in future.
Pros:
+ superb voice clarity during calls
+ very good signal reception everywhere
+ great comfortable thin design
+ good full-fuctional qwerty keyboard
+ good & realible phonebook
+ useful 64mb internal memory with around 46,5mb ram always available in standby
+ fast writing speed in message or notes, no lag
+ great display quality
+ software compitability with other Nokia official themes of Eseries & Nseries making the phone's menu interface always look new (this is a very good mark, by the way)
+ fast menu interface of the symbian OS
+ complete kinds of feature & connection such pop-portUSB, IrDa, Bluetooth, GPRS, EDGE, 3G, Wlan, Modem, PTT (the last one is totally useless)
+ great internet browser plus wifi
+ nice and user-friendly mp3 player
+ very good music quality using original Nokia HS-23 handsfree set (found in-box with N80 or others)
+ editable equaliser for optimal good sound experience
+ remakable speed even using 2gb card (I'm using original Nokia miniSD)
+ great build quality, steel bodyparts
+ good battery life.
Cons:
- no camera (yes - business needs camera)
- so sadly, no radio with RDS
- slow java (.jar games / application)
- slow message reading ..IF.. using memory card as the default sms storage
- joystick, not as friendly as Dpad
- only one minute voice recording available as default (don't talk about 3rd party software-this still a loss)
- not even standard repeat alarm available
- keyboard needs to be improved for maximum ease of use (straight example; while driving - even it's so unsafe using ANY phone, actually)
- disastrous & unrecognisable sound / ringtone / music quality when using maximum volume via loudspeaker (this one is a serious drawback of otherwise good phone)
- pop-port connector, not miniUSB
- no standard 3,5mm audio jack (oh well, at least 2,5mm will do)
- not ergonomic sim card bed (this issue may only occur for people who changes their simcards often, it's not really matters actually)
- miniSD access possible only if you remove the battery cover first. Now the thing is about this, the Eseries born kind of all-business thing, so they were meant to keep most secret valueable datas of the user very carefull, that means the storage (memory card) are designed to be located hidden under battery cover for maximum protection. But still, if you own this unit of E serie and if you keep confidental data on it, will you ever let anyone touch your phone from the first place? If anyone really wants your data they will just go (steal) for the phone, instead of the memory card only.
note:
1. I don't miss a secondary videocall camera, but adding it will make it compelete of course.
2. I know some of the above-mentioned cons are covered with the update model of E61i, but some things are just stand for itself. Like this unit, i just won't exchange it for E61i just because of minor issues above. Hope u get what i mean.
3. My E61 firmware is 1.0610.04.04 dated 19-04-06 code RM-89. I never, ever, not even once- update the software of my device. It still running smoothly with no error or crash at all.

@Vic:E61 has 2 browsers the main browser is a full html browser similar to or even better than apple i-phone safari.The second is the basic wap2.0/xhtml browser for browsing and downloading from wap and xhtml sites.You can download and install normally like any other sets but for some symbian(.sis/.sisx) files, you might have to go to your app. manager and turn off online certificate check and switch software installation to all from settings

Hi all!
I have heard about the problem of themes or sometimes Games installing, and say
CERTIFICATE EXPIRED or something
You can change your date to 2006 and then install them and then change the date to 2007 after installing them
I just get the phone 2 days ago. changed my 15 th mobile in 2 months...
:)
