Back to E61i Smartphone
  • Overall Rating
    2 stars 2 Star Review

    Updated:07-07-08

    Duration of ownership:9 Months

    Strengths: Nice Large Screen, Bright and has intelligence to adjust the contrast in sunlight too. Has most of the functions for a business use. Fairly fast and responsive

    Weaknesses: Keyboard design really sucks. THe Navigation key is so hard and most of times when you are browsing or reading webmails, the left/right scrolling will end up in poping up adjacent mail box button. Keys are hard and not easy to type. The phone is heavy compared to others in this class. Doesn't give dictionary or text help while typing in editors (that is a shame!!!) No touch screen.

    Overall Evaluation: I guess there are better phones available for similar cost esp the RIM-Blackberry series or even HTC. GO for those, you won't miss if you give this one a pass!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Many Applications compatibility, S60 OS, Large bright screen. Nice battery Life, Wifi

    Weaknesses: Slow at times, Cost, Lack of advanced Flash Support

    Overall Evaluation: I got this phone about a wk ago and to be honest i am very impressed. I have used my share of smart phones but this one so far amazes me. With all its advanced features it can sustain a 2-3 day battery life. I dont miss windows mobile at all and i feel the same functionality is exceeded on this device. If you want a nice full featured qwerty keyboard device take a look this might be the device for you. The wifi is fast and works well to check webmail and check on office docs.

    Duration of ownership:10 Days

    Strengths: I purchased the Nokia E61I for business use and it does everything I need, and more. It is easy to use, fast and has a great key board.

    Weaknesses: I like this phone except for the speaker. The sound is thin, hard to hear and when the volume is turned up it distorts. It's is troubling that such a good phone has a terrible speaker.

    Overall Evaluation: I have tried to live with this phone and find the speaker a deal breaker. If Nokia can fix the sound then they have a winner. I am sending this one back.

    Strengths: great keyboardwifiscreen

    Weaknesses: no touch screenexpensive

    Overall Evaluation: a great smart phone from a company who has been in the business for a long time. the keyboard is fantastic and is very easy to type. i have compared typing on a iphone and the E61i is much easier for extensive typing. this phone is expensive however the built in wifi offsets the cost of a data package. all in all the phone is easy to use and i would highly recommend it.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Large bright screen, comfortable keyboard, built in wifi, super stable operating system, long battery life, 2MP camera, sleek and sexy enclosure

    Weaknesses: lacks built in GPS, only supports 3G on overseas networks

    Overall Evaluation: I purchased this phone after doing research on smartphones. I am very happy with my purchase. My first impression when unpacking the phone from its box was its sleek, sexy design. The thing is razor thin and not that wide at all. After powering it on, I was amazed by the screen's brightness and clarity. It is a joy to read email/text and view photos on the screen even in sunlight. And the symbian S60 operating system is one of the quickest, stablest I've seen. It definitely blows away the competing windows mobile for stability, straightforwardness and ease of use. Also, the keyboard feels great and shows good resistance. It's probably one of the best PDA phone keyboards I've felt. The built in wifi is also a blessing as I can surf the web, chat on msn and use skype all through my home network without paying for any data fees! There are also built in productivity apps such as a document editor and spreadsheet editor. And the 2MP camera is a great addition. Think of this phone as a hybrid with the best of both the ease of use and stability of a blackberry and the tweakability of a windows mobile device. If you are thinking of getting a business smartphone, look no further than the E61i.
