The phone is actually both low and high end in my opinion. It feels SO great in my hands! I've mainly been using Opera Mini, Fring/Nimbuzz and an eBook reader on mine for nearly 6 months now and I've not regretted my 60€ decision even once!
Since it's Symbian it's great! You have so many choices with it, I'm occasionally running my Python scripts, which I need for boosting my work performance.
The impressive part of this phone is the battery. The web browsing and reading puts me to sleep before the battery drains.
The keyboard and screen layout could be a little better, there's some free space at the top and bottom, so a bigger screen could have been fitted there.
I've noticed some lag when moving in menus (I get it, E61i only has 64Mb of RAM and 2xx MHz of processing power), but Symbians' Easter Egg magically fixed it, menus were much faster after that. If you haven't heard of it, then Google for "S60 speed hack", it involves the calendar application.
I've had quite many phones before E61i (LG Arena and LG Renoir were the most recent - dumb I was when buying them), Nokia 6230 was the only one that I really liked, pity that it broke down.

I have been using this handset from past 2007 and its an excellent phone. So far it has given me no issues inspite of multiple drops and damage, the phone is still working fine at its best. At times its slow but even that can be sorted by a complete Software reflash.Its a great phone !!!

This is my first opinion post ( be gentle :p ) hi i am from the sunny and kool island of Jamaica (home of Bob Marley. . . .one love yall).
You asked if 120 is gud for this phone. Well i paid 10000 JMD which is a couple dollars over 120 euro. So yes its worth it, but my advice, check to see the quality of the phone screens ribbon (yes it has a ribbon under the light senor) it tends to go crispy after years of use and will cost you about 40 USD to replace it. But this is my fone and i love it! It can be slow at times but once you learn how to conserve your RAM it proforms better than a blackberry. Thanks.
(Holiness first till we under the earth! selah. )

This was one good phone which I used for 3 and a half years. From 2007 May till November 2010. This was the last of E series phones which was manufactured in Finland. Later E series were manufactured in Korea and also China. I replaced the battery once (excellent battery BP-4L) and also had the mobile cover replaced once due to scratches on the surface. This phone has survived many accidental falls. I am sure this phone can save you from a bullet shot if you keep it in your shirt pocket :) The loudspeaker of this phone is good.. The QWERTY keyboard was nicely spaced for quick typing of messages, mails and notes. The major problem with this phone was that it wasn't getting damaged... due to which I couldnt find a reason to replace it. I still have the phone with me in good working order. Only that its retirement time for it. I never think I can use another phone for this long!!
