Battery Life
A phone with this large a screen and such a long list of wireless features would probably drain out in one day—and that’s probably true if you use WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth, Infrared and USB at the same time— but realistically speaking you’re more likely to use just Bluetooth and basic GSM/EDGE phone functionality most of the time, and that let the phone run for around four to five days! With WiFi on, it was shortened to around three to four days, perhaps less, depending on the signal strength and also how much you use it (I sit right next to our router!). But overall, good performance in the battery department.

Conclusion
We’ve said it too many times before—at Rs. 18,000 this is one of the best performing, most well-connected Smartphones you can buy. Full QWERTY keypad, excellent display, SIP VoIP, Push-to-Talk, Microsoft Exchange mail, BlackBerry Connect, regular email, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, 3G/WCDMA/UMTS, WiFI, Bluetooth, Infrared, USB... are there any other features left out there? We think not.

There is also a Nokia E62—which comes without WiFi and 3G for around Rs. 16,500—which doesn’t sound like too good a deal. I would think WiFi and 3G is worth Rs. 1,500 extra, so what if we’ won’t use the latter till 2008?

Hi,
I bought this phone 4 days back, all features are really cool (esp internet browser and single button email.)
Everything was fine but now the battery isnt charging! It says 'Charging' and I can see the moving indicator but when I unplug it, it says Low Battery and the indicator is stuck at 0 level. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

Good phone overall but the joystick is not a joy to use. They should add a stylus.

Good phone but i don't think that it will match "black berry"

Really smart phone

I've been using this machine for balckberry purpose for the last 4 weeks now. Initially eveyone including the vendor recommended me for not purchasing this handset cause of problem with the phone's performance on a blackberry subscription. I havent really experienced any such problem till date.
the only disadvantage this handset has is its compatibility with jpg images as attachment received with mails. The word and excel attachments are very user friendly with the joystick control.
only mp4 files can be viewed on video streamimg,any other format is not supported. The battery backup is close to 5 hours including downloads@9-10 mails .

value for money, good controls , sleek looks , easy to carry in pockets. If only nokia could provide a holster for this hanset.

More standard candybar form factor, fits in your trouser pockets a little better, but the e61 would fit better in a jacket pocket, which is where it
