I leave the E61i feeling a bit like it was a great meal but my utinsels were dirty the whole time. The device itself was great. It crashed once, and other than that was very rock solid. I could overlook some of the UI items such as looking for wireless settings and finding multiple ways to get there. But it was the feel of the device that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The function, navigation, and thumbboard keys made this device feel a lot worse than it is. That being said, I would recommend it, especially if you aren't in a BlackBerry shop and are looking for something a bit less PDA-ish than a Treo or Windows Mobile device. The battery life and included applications make the E61i a much better showing in the smarpthone communicator field; doing a better job overall, but also showing where some other devices are better.

The E61i is a minor and mostly cosmetic upgrade to the E61, but it remains a fantastic smart phone overall.

Now business users, and the operators and carriers that serve them, can demand a new standard of business devices combining both beauty and brains without compromise, and that is what the E61i delivers. With its latest handset Nokia has made it intuitive and pleasurable for business professionals to get mobilised. But while it probably won’t appeal greatly to the current E61 crowd - unless you’re looking to upgrade for the camera feature - it should attract a new group of users who not only want a phone for work but also leisure.

This device is a wonder of engineering. Congrats Nokia! Detailed review in gsmarena tells all I wanted to say... with every little detail. Just a little bit disappointed with the alarm, as one cannot set it to repeat. This is easily fixed with additional software though. It lacks better camera and integrated gps, but it would probably become very expensive with them.

The E61i looks like a modern device; by this I mean that in the looks and design department, it now compares favourably to the keyboard based Palm Treos and Blackberrys of the business world. This is important, because while Nokia may well be regarded as a leading manufacturer in Europe and Asia, the same isn’t true in America. Couple this with Nokia's perceived lack of enterprise experience, and it's a good thing that the design does measure up (and in some cases surpasses) the incumbent enterprise devices.

Bottom Line: Just a quick pre-qual. I am not a newbie to mobile computing. I've had my fair share from luggable PC's to untethered PDAs to a Newton, then a host of Palm's including Treos. This is one of the first cell phone centric devices that are starting to be quality connected mobile device. It feels like I am extending my connectivity wherever I am PLUS it gives me tools that I don't want or need on my computer (like GPS). As more and more rich Java apps are being written for mobile devices the large screen that the E61i sports is really impressive.

So getting back to that itching question of all you E61 owners – should I swap mine of E61i or not, we guess that you’ve already found your answer when you bought your Nokia messenger without a camera. The E61i surely offers some really nice upgrades over E61, but considering the probable cost of dumping your used E61 and getting the E61i really doesn’t makes sense.

Nokia ups the ante with a welcome refresh to last year's well-liked E62 smartphone.

I've never used a smartphone or Windows Mobile before so I can't say if WM6 is any improvement. I was surprised to find while editing my contacts that there is no copy and paste function. I was able to find an add on application but it seems a rather strange thing not to include in a smartphone. The phone feels solid and rugged and is surprisingly heavy for it's size. But considering all that's packed into so small a space and the long battery life it's an extra weight I can handle. The lack of 3G doesn't bother me since I mainly use the data connection for email which EDGE is fine for. The smaller sized screen isn't that great for viewing web pages anyway. WiFi works well and connects to my home access point faster than my laptop.

Regarded as a PDA, the HTC S710 is neat and petite – but slightly heavier than it looks. Six months ago we took a look at another HTC handset that was a smartphone proper and we found its standard phone keypad easier to use than this. Still, the HTC S710's is a neat design. And we've seen sufficient numbers of its predecessor adopted by business users to believe it will be well received.
