Ok my thoughts on the phone, after getting the E61i yesterday night together with Andy and Adam. charged it over night. got my all my sutff transfered over (very good thing about nokia), so with all my contacts, calenders, memo to-do list in.. i was fiddling with it already.
So ok, being a first E series user.. the volume of the handset it pretty soft to me! comparing it to the N93 and N76 .. it was pretty soft, so i thought it was spoilt... silly me.. the phone is broad, as such i have to position my ear nicely, sounds better... good. Speaker volume is good.. loud and clear.
Buttons are the bomb man, i did try adam's E61 before, hated the buttons!, cause they were so stiff.. E61i is softer.. nicer feel to it. the interface alone is easy to use, don't really need to read the manual but a quick browse through would help abit.
They've got a new program called Msg Reader, what it does it that the phones reads out loud to you what the sms says, pretty cool.. tried on a couple of the sms i have stored in the phone and can more or less understand what the phone is saying, if it's abit too fast??.. you can always go to settings and slow it down a little, you also have 2 voices to choose from. Male or Female. fun thing to have or when ur driving, u can get them to read the msg out to u .
Camera is good.. nothing compared to the N95 of course but it's still something.. better than nothing.
the screen is superb.. very rich and clear.. i like it.
that's all so far i've gathered.. will post more once im more in-tuned with it .
