Nokia E61i


One of the hottest areas of growth in the mobile device market has been the smartphone communicator segment. This is where QWERTY thumbboards, an emphasis on messaging, and all around usablity are the keys to success. Devices such as RIM's BlackBerry 8700/8800 and Palm's Treo 680/750/755p models head out this group as the benchmarks for usability and style.

Nokia's initial forray into this arena was the E61. As its first QWERTY communicator device, it was received well by only a few. Problems with usability and an unclear product focus made it a hard peg for consumers to fit well. It didn't help that in bringing this smartphone to the U.S., Nokia stripped the E61 of Wi-Fi and a few other programs, making an essentially underspeced model in the E62.

The E61i was released in an effort to correct issues with the original E61, and also to give the world audience something not named Treo or BlackBerry to consider when looking for a solid smartphone communicator.

The "Cruise" part of the name refers to the Phone-A-GPS receiver. Although you can use the Touch Cruise with your 09 favorite personal navigation software, it is also something wrong with the name "HTC Footprints." Footprints works by allowing users, a "digital postcards", from a photo, audio clips and the accompanying text, which is then geo-tagged with the location. Not only the geo-tagging the GPS coordinates, but the Touch Cruise 09 includes the name of the site and stores it.
