Nokia E61i Review

The day my beloved Nokia E61 was stolen was a sad, sad day in my life. I had grown oddly attached to its alluring screen, quirky buttons and its uncanny ability to hunt down open WiFi spots. The killer was that it never played nice with iSync on my Mac so I rarely backed it up to my PC. So alas, I lost enough data and contacts to make a sizable dent. Like I said, it was a sad, sad day.

It didn't take me long to start hunting for a replacement E61.... burning the midnight oil... searching Ebay (you know the drill). But when I saw the announcement of the Nokia E61i, I resolved to wait it out. The long list of new phone offerings distracted me... first the iPhone with it's tempting touch screen... then the Blackjack with it svelte profile... and who could resist the Blackberry Pearl... and I have to admit that the Sony Ericsson W880i teased me with it's uber-clean looks but I stayed away from them all... and I am proud of myself
