Nokia E61 Mini-Review

(9/20/06)
Summary: The other day I had the opportunity to have a quick look at the Nokia E61 which most people would categorise as a Blackberry type smartphone.I only spent an hour with the E61 which probably doesn't do it justice so we'll just stick to the facts and let the pictures do the talking.

The large screen with the QWERTY keyboard arranged underneath bears a striking resemblance to the classic Blackberry format, but unlike Motorola'sMoto Qdevice, Nokia have styled the E61 so that you can instantly tell that it's really a
