This is one of the most advanced handsets to date. Although it is not so fast, look forward to future handsets such as the n81 and n82 and th 6400.

To nabileldib, go to the Nokia N95 online support and then go to device software, from there you can download Snakes Game.

Ths nokia model is good for business although it has major features , the big handicap is , it doent have touch screen to navigate the pages easily ... This would be one of the major disadvantage of ths model ..

I am so impressed with this phone. It is the best phone on market today. This is because the layout of keyboard has never been so good before. In Indonesia we use English and Indonesian language to communicate. The keyboard makes it so easy to type sms or other messaging norms.

But I am so Furious with Indonesian Nokia outlets which sell Nokias in Indonesia. I purchased this model 2 weeks ago from Nokia showroom. But when I checked my unit at home found very bad finish on the unit inside ( where the battery is located ). I sold the piece and after a week bought one more piece from another Nokia showroom in Indonesi. These showroom have very nice way of handling the customers. They make you pay first before you could even see your unit. You pay and then when you open the box you find yet another bad bad bad finish product. Scratches, inside of the unit is as if the piece has been cut with hand and finished by ill trained people. How these people can sell such expensive gadgets in B or C grade. That too I purchased these from Nokia Showrooms. Nokia Showroom products cost 15 to 30 USD more than the price sold in dealer shops.

I dont know how people here accept the quality which is handed over to them under brand name Nokia.

On other hand, In Indonesia I would appreciate Sony Ericsson and Samsung. I have seen these products which are sold without any defects. They are 100% in glittering and
brand new form.

I wont say I will stop buying Nokia products as I love Nokia. But I would prefer the buy tNokia from Singapore or Thailand if and whenever I visit these places which I occasionaly do.

Beware Indonesian buyers.

By the way Nokia E61i itself is a best mobile one would be proud to possess. Cheers to those who own it.

cons
-this fone is a bit slow
-you have to set the alarm instead of setting it on a weekly format
-you can assign .gif files as wallpaper but definitely it won't move!
-no slideshow
-no smily icons

pros
-battery lasts longeeeerrr!
-stereo sounds..headset (a bit low)
-like a real pc when using the internet
-press the left keypad for two seconds and it reads your new text messages...it's like receiving a voice mail
-it records your fone conversation
-office applications...read or edit your worksheets

oh i'll add that the battery life of the treo and the e61i is superb. p990i's battery lasts a little over a day's use - two at most. so you need to recharge it frequently

former treo and p990i user here. did not purchasing the treo and e61i, i cant say the same for the p990i. disposed of my treo since it didnt have wifi built into the phone. the p990i interface was really slow and i had to reboot 2x a day coz new messages couldnt be opened. i thought i had an all in one device with the p990i since it had 3g/wifi/ a decent camera with flash/ and a qwerty board. i just couldnt stand it and had to dispose of it in just 4 months. been a happy e61i user ever since. if it only took pictures of the same quality as the p990i then it would have been perfect. as for the thumboard, imo, treo has the best one (maybe because ive been a treo user for 3 years), a close second would be the e61i. the p990i comes in at a far third.
