The image of a business phone has been associated from the beginning with the Nokia Communicator series, some mini laptops if you want. These models had a huge success among those who need access to email, Internet and basic office functions during trips. Because the perfect business Communicator mobile phone was RIM BlackBerry, Nokia manufacturer has launched the Nokia E61i, a high-end technology Communicator device.

At a first glance you can’t be impressed by the dimensions of E61i. With 117 x 70 x 13.9 mm in dimensions and 150 grams in weight, this Nokia cell phone seems to be more of a PDA instead of a mobile phone. The front and the back of the phone are covered by metallic design elements, which make this phone to feel very solid and very resistible at intense usage.  On the front side, this Nokia cell phone has a 2.8 inch TFT display and because it is a Communicator, it has a full QWERTY keyboard.

The 2.8 inch TFT display has a native resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and supports 16 Million colors. Even for such a big display this resolution is a bit too small, it behaves decently in direct light and it is excellent for surfing on the internet. The Nokia E61i comes equipped with a 2 Megapixel camera capable of taking pictures at a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels.

Even if this camera has a mediocre performance, it has proven to be excellent for a Communicator like this Nokia cell phone. But let’s talk a bit about what is the most important aspect for a Communicator device: the keyboard. The Nokia E61i has a full QWERTY keyboard which seems to be very solid and responsive. The keys have good size and are very well delimitated, so you will not have problems in pressing the wrong key when you are typing. Anyway, having a positive feedback, this keyboard is perfect for typing emails, SMSs or other texts. An attractive feature is that this keyboard has a sensor which automatically illuminates the keyboard when a low ambient light is detected.

Powered by a Dual ARM 9 220 MHz processor and 64 MB of RAM memory, this Nokia cell phone comes with a Symbian OS 9.1, Series 60 v3.0 UI interface and a lot of preinstalled applications like Mozilla Internet Browser, Microsoft Mobile Office, Flash Player, PDF Viewer and many others.

Even if you will keep this PDA under intensive usage, it will be capable to run multi-tasks without any lag or other interruptions. A negative aspect which makes this Nokia cell phone to be one step behind other Communicator devices is that it has only 60 MB of internal memory. Thanks to the microSD card slot, you can extend it to a maximum 2 GB, but even so, this is not a very good capacity in our days.

Being a Communicator device, the most important aspect is the connectivity options. At this chapter, the Nokia E61i excels.  For keeping you in touch with people, besides the fact that supports four GSM bands plus GPRS, EDGE and 3G, it comes equipped with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Infrared and USB. The Push-to-talk feature is another attractive feature of Nokia cell phones because with this application you can use your phone like a Walkie-Talkie.
