Nokia E61 - User opinions and reviews

i got the phone a year ago, its the best i have ever used. a few flaw though, no camera, no free online symbian games and it cannot play videos taken with the n93i. if you are looking for a good qwert keybord, wifi phone, this is your choice (not the black berry, this) but if you like camera included, get the e61i, e65, n93i, n95. do not get the n80 because of the flawed baterries. thank you come again.

I have a couple of problems with this phone,
first, i cant set the default screen size to 50 percent, can you do this ?

second, i keep getting a web connection time out, can this be adjusted ?

And thirdly, third problem of the couple is that the list of favourites keeps reverting to its previous after I have re- ordeted it.

YO, for the sms problem- they have a fix on the nikia website. also if you upgrade the firmware this issue will be fixed.

As for hotmail- you cant do it coz it's not a POP3. I switched to gmail and it works perfect for me.

I currently have an N80, but the problem is that i cant set up hotmail inbox with the email client that comes with the symbian software. Does anyone know if its possible to setup hotmail inbox on E61 or the coming soon E90, or is it impossible unless I have a Windows Mobile phone??? Thnx

one thing I don't like from E61 is that it takes too much time to send SMS. Anybody have the solution?

Dear Friends,

On Nokia e61, themes are downloaded in the external memory card but can't be removed any longer. The themes don't even appear in the application installer. Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

I have been using the E61 since almost a year. The phone is great in all its features except that the s/ware one has to install for using Blackberry Connectivity completely screws up the text messaging feature.It takes forever to send a simple SMS and the phone freezes until the text is sent.

can anyone recommend a good game for my nokia e61? or, perhaps, where can i get a free download of games compatible for my nokia e61? i don't like the default game GOLF PRO CONTEST in the unit. thank you so much.

@Tony:
The phone works for GMail(there's actually gmail software for this phone). I'm sure you could set up AOL as well.

You will be able to access hotel wi-fi, but whether or not you have to pay depends on the hotel. Wi-fi doesn't cost any money, but certain networks charge you to use their bandwidth, such as T-Mobile and Vodafone. If you are near a random wireless router, you will be able to use the signal, providing it it is not password protected. Check out http://www.fon.com/en/
