Nokia E61i vs. Sony Ericsson P1i

The Sony Ericsson line of smart phones have long had a loyal fan following, and when the P990i went on sale at the end of 2006, interest was high because it was a smart phone that will please tech-minded consumers and professionals. The Nokia E61, on the other hand, appealed to business users and IT professionals with its suite of applications powered by the Series 60 platform. But what really shone were its extensive connectivity features and the omission of a camera. In this prizefight, we pit the successors of these two popular smart phones--the Nokia E61i and the Sony Ericsson P1i--in a knockout match to see which will emerge the winner. We cannot promise that it'll be a clean fight, but it'll be a fair one.

The Smartphone Show : iPhone vs Nokia E61i vs Sony Ericsson W950i

In the latest episode of the UK smash hit Smartphones Show Steve Litchfield gets himself an Apple iPhone and compares it to the Nokia E61i and Sony Ericsson W950i. Who is the winner?

Nokia easily runs laps around the iPhone, but surprisingly Steve doesn’t even consider the iPhone a smartphone in the first place.

I hope you have your flamesuit on because you’re going to hear a lot of nonsense from the cult members out there.

Can’t embed this one, you’re going to have to click thru to youtube. Well worth 11 minutes of your time however.

Nokia E61i, E65 get official in the US

Americans looking for a little piece of the Nokia Eseries pie just had their task made a little easier today, with Nokia announcing that the QWERTY equipped E61i and E65 slider have been officially released this side of the pond. Besides showing up in the Chicago and New York flagship stores, the devices will be provided through a handful of B2B distributors, Dell's site, Gateway, Mobile Planet, and others. We're still crossing fingers, toes, and a variety of other limbs in the hopes of an eventual E90 release here, but these two are certainly decent fodder in the meanwhile. Look for both to run about $400.
