Thread: Nokia E61i Mobile Phone

Nokia E61 and E62 belong to a family of phones spawned by Nokia's obsession with sumo wrestlers or some other monolithic object. The E61 suffixed with an "i" for a camera, is a bulky device that's quite well built, and features a well laid out, and spacious QWERTY keypad, that was slightly improved ergonomically over the keypads of the E61 and the E62. These phones aren't PDAs in the truest sense, as document creating and advanced editing isn't possible and Nokia themselves prefer the term business phones.



The screen itself is beautiful at 2.8 inches, and features 16 million colours. Sadly there's no touch functionality which would have been a productive and nifty add on. The beauty of the E61i lies in its simplicity however, and as a business phone to type out mails, or for long hours on call (thanks to the huge battery) it makes perfect sense. The camera itself is no great shakes, and the audio qualities of this phone are limited. However video playback is fun due to the screen. The E61i is quite expensive for the features it offers-which will satisfy neither the diehard business user, nor the diehard multimedia junkie. Also at the price, much better options in each usage sphere exist.
