To Toni:
To Change how many texts you store go to Messages > Options > Other > and then change the number of saved messages to the number you desire.
For the call log thing, I'm not too sure...I havent really needed it so I havent played around with it much.
For the third party software thing, Im sill looking myself. Not too much luck so far though...
Now for the phone in general:
This is quite possibly the best phone I have ever had. It does everything I need and then some. The WiFi is such a great feature so I dont always have to used EDGE data. The browser itself is better than the one I have on my iPaq. For me, the battery life is amazing! I'm on WiFi all day long with this phone and I use the MP3 player at times too and by the end of the day I've only lost maybe two bars of battery life. The lack of a camera doesnt really bug me. Unless you're getting a real camera, cameras on phones are really quite pointless. I have a W810i for that when I need it. The E61 is a great tool for my everyday uses as a student. I would suggest this phone over any Blackberry or moblie PDA device. The lack of software available may be an issue now, but I think 3rd parties will get on it here pretty soon, especially since the E62 is on Cingular now. The demand is out there.

Ok, moving past the nice talk, can someone advise me on how to get this unit to:
1. store all my sent text message and not delete them automatically after 20,
2. Create a call log with a full call details, time and duration,
3. recommend a site for 3rd party software for other functions like GPS (& not bluetooth that is not practical)

Hey guys,
I've had my phone for about 2 weeks now.
It has been a joy to own so far with a few set backs...
I noticed that the battery life is ok, seems to go down to 2 bars fairly quick..must be my occasional WiFi usage?? Not sure what happened but I installed a .jar file that wasn't compatible with the phone and it kept going to the "installing" screen when i turned it on so I ended up formatting the card and resetting my phone. Anyone know other way to remedy this if it happens again?
Disconnecting/Connecting to an Ad hoc router will make the phone restart and it doesn't like wifi connections less than 54kbps.
I know that MS and Nokia are in the talking about some licensing agreement, hope that steaming asx/asf will be possible on this phone in the near future.

Hi,
Do NOT update your E61 phone software because inevitably the blue special characters (above the letters) on the keyboard will get totally switched around and Nokia won't be able to help.

This phone is indeed cheap for a Wifi and 3G capabilities. This phone can use Skype* (I believe it still in a process to be finally released for symbian) though there are other VOIP providers compatible with this phone, like VOIPDiscount. And yes Yahoo Messenger works with this. There are other IM clients that will work wih Yahoo such as Agile Messenger, IM+...search for compatible clients.

This phone can in fact, work with a 2GB MiniSD Card. I am on though, some argues it can support the new 4GB MiniSD's, I still have to look for that myself.
The ZipManager should work just fine, but notice when you open it, it doesnt open an application form, just like windows bu it opens to your documents and from there your choose the zip file.

Okay to ALL E61 users or whoever wants to get one:
Heres the performance breakdown.
The E61 uses the same battery as the Nokia 7710 and the Nokia 770. Pretty powerful and slim. On a fully charged battery (meaning it was charged while the phone was turned off)
WiFi can last me half a day.
Music can last me about 4 days.
Talking (GSM) can lasts me, on couting, 8hrs and 47mins.
Music and WiFi together lasts me less than 5hrs
Internet Telephone (SIP) can last me 4hrs (the back gets hot)
Bluetooth lasts me 2-3 days.
Wifi and bluetooth, a full day.
Music and Bluetooth, 13hrs.
Music, Bluetooth, and Wifi, is 6hrs.
On stand by, nothing happening, lasts me about 5-6days, without charging.
Ands as you can see this is a great device, lots and lots of power, but all these are nothing because of the limited RAM, that was embedded. The RAM only gets rounded up to 20MB.
