The Nokia E61 fits comfortably in the palm and is easy to operate. The hand held is fitted with a 2.8 inch larger TFT screen that can produce 16 million colours. A five way navigation key and a QWERTY keyboard makes the rest of this handset. At 144 gram, the phone might seem a bit heavy against lightweight phones of today, but one has to consider the amount of firepower the Nokia E61 carries. The Nokia E61 is nothing less than your computer. This S60 platform based, Symbian OS v9.1 operated smartphone houses a lot of features to aid you not only in business, but anywhere you'd want it to. The handset's evolved email client is as good as any other reputed email device and supports POP, SMTP and IMAP(with idle). Among other email clients, Visto email technology and Blackberry Connect are noteworthy.
