Cons: mono sound output, ordinary camera, no flash, no fm radio, no builtiin stopwatch, no 7 days alarm
Opinion:
E61i is a great device from Nokia. It has almost all features an office goer would like to have. Big screen and QWERTY keyboard and great connectivity options stands out. Most onlookers mistake it for a blackberry. Voice clarity & battery backup is pretty decent. Keys are are very well designed & easy to work on.

Even business guys needs certain amount of relaxation. Hence stereo output and FM radio would have been a welcome feature. Calculator is sloppy, stop watch is missing and alarm doesnot have 7-days feature. A sour omission.

Total overhauling of Nokia PC suite is long over due. Though syncronization works well, I have always longed for the import/syncronization of contact group and catagories created in microsoft outlook. Retrieving e-mail should be made smarter and with more features of MS Outlook mail client.

All in all, E61i is a great & smart handphone to have.
