CNET Asia Review
8.4
out of 10View score
The bad: Keys are a tad too close for comfort typing; moderately stiff joystick; camera version not available; no FM tuner.
The bottom line: The Nokia E61 has pretty much everything a mobile professional will need in a smart phone and its sub-S$750 pricing makes it all the more attractive to mainstream users, particular those who want a phone without camera.

It is pretty easy use especially sending SMS
Dec 27, 2007Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Wifi support, support Group SMS, Easy to send sms through keypad
Cons: Not the usual USB connector for synchronisation, no camera, not touch screen.
Opinion:
Although E61 is not a touch screen phone, it has the useful mouse like joystick control to make selection. For past one year, it is very useful for me to send sms by grouping.
NOT GOOD AT ALL!
Dec 21, 2007Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: SCREEN, KEYPAD AND WIFI.
Cons: EVERYTHING!!
Opinion:
I bought it over an year ago and I had to do a frimware upgrade because the thing got so dam laggy and it would take over 40 seconds to send an sms. After i did a frimware upgrade, i lost my privlage of using bluetooth, when i connect to my car handsfree it disconnects and would not connect again, this happens with my bluetooth adapter on my PC to. I contacted Nokia and they were NO GOOD. AVOID THIS PHONE!!!

Pros: No Camera, Cheap, Good keyboard, WIFI support, Good & Bright Screen
Cons: No HSDPA, Less elegant then E61i, No Radio, No touch screen

4) You want want a simple calendaring utility that sync with Microsoft Outlook for Email, Contacts, Memo, Tasks and Calendar.
5) You want to listen to MP3 music - you will need to buy a stereo headset as it does not comes with one out of box.
6) You need occasional GPS support (with bluetooth Nokia 3W GPS) on the move or in the car.
My usage patterns tends to heavy on the SMS, calendaring, contacts, and memo (my memory assistant). This phone is perfect for me. Especially, if you often goes to places that do not allows camera, GPS or video ... Read more
