Nokia E61i review: Lens-wear for the messenger

04 May 2007
You all know Nokia E61 – it’s been among the most popular Nokia smartphones ever since it was presented. Its fans have always been divided over it not having a camera. Taking that into account Nokia decided to release an updated version of the handset marked with “i”. Besides a camera, the new model features a number of small modifications, or otherwise upgrades, which would again reinstate it as a top-notch smartphone messenger. Now join us on our GSMArena journey which would try to answer a good deal of questions for you… and for us, for that matter.

                i have been using the Nokia3250 and the I-mate PDAL. Last month had upgraded to the E61i. Wow! it was like rushing straight from the Dark Ages to the 21st Century. I think Nokia got it right this time - a very nice blend of fun and business. The 2mp camera, Quick Office, WLAN, Hot keys with the QWERTY keyboard (all the buttons fall at the right spots) etc etc makes it a good buy. If you thinking of getting a new phone the the E61i is the best there is.

                                      Oh and Vijay, maybe if you read this review, or for that matter if you would know anything at all of Symbian phones, you would know that this phone has Blackberry connectivity! JUST READ THE REVIEW! They even mention it there....

                                        Are you guys stupid, asking questions like can I read PDF's on this phone? Come on, if you once read one little part of the review of this phone, then you could find that you can read PDF's, Word-documents etc on it... God, are you just dumbasses or what??
