Nokia E61
It's absolute rubbish. I bought it because of its Symbian software, remembering all those good times with my Psion. The spreadsheet is my main gripe because once I found out how appalling this applicaiton is I gave up on the rest of the software. Except to note that hitting File Manager/Sheet/Document or any other of the application keys simply takes you to .... File Manager BUT you can't open a sheet/document unless you went into File Manageer via .... sheet/document.
* can't simply enter data into a cell - I finally figured out how to add data and really can't be bothered to explain how. Suffice to say it is decidedly un-user-friendly
* Can't cut and paste more than one cell. What?
* Cut and paste a formula and it .... doesn't automtically re-reference. What?
* Has a life of it's own - spreadsheets *were* opening at the last cell I worked on. Now it opens at the *top* of the sheet and I have no idea why. Ands that's irritating when you use if a lot and have 450 cells and counting.
My real complaint is that no-one can have done *any* user testing on this product or they would have oticed these things withing 2 minutes. Nokia had a chance with my oney and they won't get another one.

In the article it says...
"There are multiple ways to get to the application, from the “compose SMS message” on the main idle screen, selecting the application through a shortcut or the on screen icon, or even using the dedicated “messaging” button to the right of the cursor (although power users can configure this to their favourite application). "
Does anyone know how to do that?

Im sure my bluetooth GPS will work on this and I know you can get TomTom for the nokia but I really think the lack of a touch screen will make me pass on the nokia.

E61 Security
Hi All, can any E61 owner answer the following?
I have a treo 650 at present which is nothing short of brilliant for my needs. An important aspect of this is that the handset is password secured and this gives complete privacy of incoming messages. I previously had a Tungsten W which displayed personal texts on the screen whenever they arrived - which rendered the unit useless.
Does the E61 offer the same security as the Treo or does it display incoming texts for all to see?
Cheers,
Rick.

Deadly silence on this? Has anyone been able to download a UK upgrade for the E61? I still get 'no upgrade available' or whetever the helpful message is. I wish Nokia would get their finger out and listen to people. Their forums are absolutely useless.

I keep connecting to the Nokia OS upgrade site with the E61, and it keeps telling me that there's no upgrade available. I know there is an upgrade for some foreign ROMs, but does anyone know when the standard UK ROM upgrade will be available to self-install from Nokia? Surely the boffins at Nokia have enough brains to make a note on the site as to what's available before you have to connect everything to be told there's nothing?

MS Outlook synchronisation
1. Can anyone tell me whether the E61 can sync with both my personal and busness contact folders in Outlook? In the past it has only been possible for my PDA to sync with one folder, in fact with the default folder just called Contacts which for me is the folder in which I keep my personal contacts, and not with my business contacts which I keep in a different folder called Contact Management.
2. If the answer to the above is positive would all my personal and business contacts be listed together in the Nokia, or separately, or would I be able to select either of these options?
3. I have 2154 personal contacts (in my Contacts Folder) and 3661 business contacts (in my Contact Management folder). These are 3.3MB and 8.6MB respectively so the E61 should be able to cope with them easily - but in reality are these folder sizes an issue?
4. My perception is that to make a call I would look up the contact using the first few letters to search by surname, be presented with the name, be shown one row per different phone number for that contact, scroll down to the name/number contact that I want and then press a call key to ring the person. Ideally the screen would show three columns - name in surname order, description of the phone number (home, business, mobile etc) and the number itself. Is this perception correct?

iCalendar???
The review of the E61 says that iCal synchronisation over Bluetooth is available for the E61. How? I have an E61, and I cannot find any mention of iCal in the manual or on the device. Right now I am dead in the water with regard to calendar syncing. I do not (will not) use Outlook, and do not use Lotus either, and there appears to be no way to sync with anything other than these. If the E61 supported the iCalendar standard for synchronization, then I would be able to sync it with other calendar programs, but I see no feature for syncing via iCalendar.

ActiveSync is the application which allows one to sync with Outlook OR Exchange but the settings are different. If the Exchange server is not patched with the ActiveSync updates then you cannot sync directly with the server.
If you open ActiveSync application on Windoze you will find an option in your config to talk directly to the server. Try it and see if you can pull down the data. If you can thrn the server is patched. You can then speak with your IT bod for the external IP address/DNS name of your firewall and enable the open ports to allow you to talk to the server from the big bad world. Note, Exchange through firewalls makes the firewall look like swiss cheese so if the money is there is front end and backend Exchange servers is better. That way all external communication is done with the front end and the data is stored on the backend. It does work with a single server, it's just better for security with two.

If you find yourself depressed that there's no camera on your lovely new E61 there is a bit of a bodge work around..
I found that using a the 'miniSD to full size SD' card adapter, I can take photo's on my tiny Konica-Minolta Dimage XG. Pop out the card & stick it in the E61. I changed the camera settings to '640x480-Fine' to keep the files small and the E61 software is intelligent enough to scale images down further, to an appropriate size for MMS.
Not q-u-i-t-e as convenient as a built in megapixel camera but should be nice for sending back holiday snaps.
& BTW a LOT better than the AWFUL pop port camera I used to have with the 6800.

At least finnish unlocked version of E61 has only mono headset.
...my mono headset is still in the phone's box. I immediately replaced it with AD-46 and good headphones...
