Nokia E61i Reviews

PCMag reviews the Nokia E61i and writes, "The E61i's 2MP camera is responsive and easy to operate. But it lacks an LED flash and takes middling-quality pictures, with horrible graininess in low-light situations. On the plus side, there's actually a decent video recorder. At 352- by 288-pixel resolution and 15 frames per second, my test videos were surprisingly watchable, with clear sound. There's also a built-in voice recorder you can access with a single key on the left-hand side of the phone. As expected, battery life is a strong suit for the GSM-based E61i; it lasted 12 hours 42 minutes on my talk-time rundown test with the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios turned off."

3G reviews the Nokia E61i and writes, "The E61i is sleeker and has an improved business look to it and has been upgraded with the addition of a 2 megapixel camera. However, there is only one camera. When a phone is hailed as an emailing wizard maybe we should not expect the bees knees of a camera. The camera is pretty middle of the range with reasonable quality pictures but there's no flash included. Image resolution is a maximum of 1600x1200 pixels 15fps."

CNET Australia reviews the Nokia E61i and writes, "The 2-megapixel camera has quite a shutter lag, but we were impressed with the clarity of low-light shots, even if they were a little noisy. Battery life with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth switched off was decent at four days during normal use, dropping considerably with wireless use. One thing we were a little disappointed about -- while it's a 3G phone, Nokia hasn't added support for faster downloads through HSDPA. If you've got a Nokia E61, there's nothing in the E61i that warrants an upgrade."
