BlackBerry blues
I connected the Nokia to the FM’s Microsoft Exchange e-mail server in a matter of minutes. Connecting to Google’s e-mail service was also a snap. Like the BlackBerry , the E61 has a full Qwerty keyboard.
But, unlike the BlackBerry, the Nokia supports 3G and Wi-Fi. With Wi-Fi, provided there’s a wireless hotspot nearby, you can browse the Internet for a lot less than you’d pay using your cellphone provider’s inflated data tariffs. Within a short time I had downloaded the mobile version of the Opera Web browser and was surfing the Internet on 3G. Diary management is also fantastic, with full integration with Microsoft Outlook.
You can even use the E61 to edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents. In fact, I am so impressed with this device that I’ve ordered one for myself. For anyone who needs regular access to their e-mail and to the Web and manages an electronic diary, Nokia’s E61 is the answer.
