Nokia E61It seems that Nokia’s E61 smart phone doesn’t perform up to Blackberry standards and our friend at ideagroup truly felt the burn. The E61 exhibits slow dialing from contact lists, slowed down his overall productivity, and apparently the WiFi connectivity was less than spectacular. It was so bad that he just felt like throwing the bugger out and it’s now apparently hanging on eBay, waiting for the next sucker.

Moreover, the E61 may give the illusion that it supports juggling VOIP and GSM calls with ease but, really, it even does that poorly. Worst of all? Well, the E61 isn’t nearly loud enough for a noisy environment. How does Nokia expect you to use it at conventions and conferences? Come on Nokia: we expected better.
