The E61 has certain simplicity to the design that appeals to me, and it’s my first Nokia phone after almost 4-5 years.
Personally I was turned off from Nokia as a while back they had a range of over styled, over priced and under spec phones that saw a lot of their market share lost to Sony-Ericsson and Samsung. I myself moved over to embrace the clean lines and bright screens of the Sony-Ericsson phones, even if their operation system and usability was not as good as Nokia.
However with the N-Series and E-Series, I think Nokia is finally starting to do something right.
The E61 is not the sleekest of looking phones when compared to say the Moto Q, but the box built (i.e. out of the box) is a very tight and solid package with little housing flex. The stamped metal housing and the metallic color just screams business. You can just feel the quality of the housing and fitting of the parts when you remove the battery door for your SIM card and SD card insertion.
Speaking of the PIM, the Symbian S60 V3.0 operation system is a dream. Some people have mentioned that it has a “steep†learning curve. I disagree. Together with Nokia’s legendary “human technologyâ€, I found the operating system logical and very mobile phone orientated. Thus my advice is to throw out what you know about Microsoft Pocket PC and think like a phone, or else you will be confused.
