Nokia Gets the Message

Been using it for the last 3 months and have nothing but good things to say about the E61.
 
yip also have had the E61 for the past 2 months and has been the best phone have used thus far.. only small gripe has been trying to get the latest firmware upgraded - stopped at Nokia@Vodaworld, but gave that up after waiting 1hr in line 2see a consultant..grrr..
 
Anyone used the TyTN? Just wondering how the two compare.
 
I have had this phone for 3 weeks and let me say: This is the best phone ever!

I dont have anything bad to say about it.

I upgraded over the internet. That too was so easy. My last phone was a sony and I could never get the thing upgraded. I plugged the phone in downloaded the firmware and away you go.
 
One gripe is that the voice recorder has a limit of 60 seconds at a time - a button on the side of the phone activates it. My question is why give it such a prominent spot and then limit its capabilities?

There's a commercial app out there that lets you record for more than 60 secs.Still , I do not understand why Nokia put the 60 seconds limit in the first place.

Truly speaking this is the best nokia phone I've used in a very long time.The pdf reader is a bit of problem though as it doesn't have word wrapping.There's a company that's will soon release a commercial pdf reader that does automatic word wrapping.Other than that I've had some 20M pdfs open without a hick-up on the phone.
The other plus is that if you have a BT enabled projector , you can do your presentations straight from the phone without the need of laptop or pc.
I recently downloaded the Google mail client (written in Java)from Google's site and the interface is totally awesome.One doesn't need to go through a browser to access your gmail account.The client lets you connect directly and the e-mail is presented with the nice blue-green-yellow-red colours that have become Google's trademark
A couple times when my home internet connection was down , I just used the phone as the modem and the the setting up took at most 45secs.
 
Something that it seems doesn't get much attention in reviews is battery life. How good is it? How long can you speak on the phone without it dying?
 
Not my kinda phone this, would rather go for the TyTN, if I have to choose between the 2.
Reminds me too much of a Blackberry, which I am also not fond of.
 
I'm very happy with my E61, especially at its price point. It really has become a bit of a mini laptop in functionality for me.

Firmware can be upgraded here: http://www.nokia.co.uk/A4226014 (I suggest downloading on a PC and installing . . . the files are BIG).
 
i've been looking at this phone for a while myself. i don't really mind it not having a camera. thte one thing thats kept me from getting it is that people have complained about the Symbian OS it is running is very slow compared to my Treo 650. can anyone confirm this?
