What do you call something that looks like a Blackberry, acts like a Blackberry and yet offers a lot more than most Blackberry devices? Nokia calls it the E61.

Pros: Awasome Display, Great Keyboard Response, Best Sound clarity on the phone, speaker phone or handsfree. Fantastic Web browser. Amazing response to packet traffic.
Cons: Not Much Applications fr this model at this moment.
Pros: Awasome Display, Great Keyboard Response, Best Sound clarity on the phone, speaker phone or handsfree. Fantastic Web browser. Amazing response to packet traffic.
Cons: Not Much Applications fr this model at this moment.
Pros: Great Battery Life for a PDA Phone. Most Stable OS I have ever come across. Luv the keyboard. Never got used to poking the screens with stylus anyway.
Cons: If only there's a camere (at least 3.2 M given current trends).
Pros: Great voice and text programs; Blackberry connect works flawlessly. Better over all than Treo and Blackberry PDAs I had before. The E61 is better than the E62 since the 61 has WiFi and G3
Cons: None in my estimation. Just wish Cingular in USA will support the E61 when they roll out the E62.
This is simply the best smart phone I have yet used. My clients are happy there is no camera, so that is handy and in every other way this is a superb business handset. It is a phone with GSM quadband + 3G which means it works virtually anywhere in the world, it has IR+Bluetooth+cable connectivity. Its speakerphone is loud and clear, useful with a jet engine throttling up behind you. It
Pros: *Can connect to just about anything on earth
*Screen has outstanding visibility and color
*Reception and voice transmission is excellent, with a loud earpiece and speaker that is very clear: this is a real phone you can use, not a PDA with a phone function added as an afterthought. I get a strong signal whereas with other phones I would barely register a single bar
*Symbian OS is powerful and very stable. Menu system I find to be very much OK except for Wi-Fi setup
*Outstanding materials and assembly quality.
*Battery life not using Wi-Fi is excellent.
*No camera for security conscious locations
*Keyboard feels good to use and is comfortable
Cons: *No camera, if you need one look elsewhere
*Lack of software for the E61 for now: some programs for the S60 Series 3 do work but are tricked by the phones QWERTY keyboard: a matter of time before they fix it.
* Mini SD card location means you have to take cover /battery off to swap, a bit of a nuisance.
Pros: Wow. That is the one word to describe this smartphone. This is definitely in the Blackberry killer category. Great display, great keyboard, great battery life, great features. And it even runs Blackberry, Goodlink, ActiveSync and pretty much all push email solutions out there.

Especially for email
Pros: All the features, right there on the front page. For the guru who is undone without email.
Cons: No camera. Will need a head band for long phone calls to hold the phone handsfree. Make that two for those cold mornings. Earmuffs!
