So you've a messaging-focussed Nokia E61i smartphone and you keep eyeing up the models in the rival Nseries? Is it possible to have the best of both worlds? To whet your appetite for MWC, at which I hope that at least one crossover device will be launched, here's my guide to (nearly) turning your E61i into an Nseries powerhouse. Qwerty and media? No problem.
.
Read on in the full article. Good article! I've actually done most of these things already. However, I do switch my E61i off at night to save battery power. I don't see any problem doing this. Fine, it has to boot up in the morning but why is that a major problem? Hi Steve,
Nice article but i am don't really understand why you are surprised that the N series sells more devcies than E series. Buisness take up of smart phones must be virtually at saturation point if not there already, IMO all the growth we will see will be Multimedia led in smart phones and this is why the N series sells and will continue to sell more devices than the E series.
Personally i have stopped my hunt for the ultimate converged devcie which is why i carry an iPod for my Music and a E series for my smart phone needs be it an E90 that does everything a N series does and better except for the Muisc Player hence the iPod which by the way in MO is better than any smart phones built in Muisc Player as well.
Marc I did almost everything you said here with my E61. Working fine... It's going to be the phone I'll keep the most ever... >Steer clear of push email... If you want most of the benefits of push without the hassle or processor hit, just set Messaging to auto-retrieve emails in the background (every 30 minutes, between the hours you specify).
I'd really like too but if I set email to do this, the GPRS connection doesn't quit after the periodic retrieval. As my email provider (fastmail.fm) uses push email, it means I get emails all the time the connection remains active.
Anyone know how to get mail to actual close the connection?
(Strange, as it does close the connection if I manually disconnect from the mailbox). Great post steve! Looking forward to see what's being announced next week. i jus sold my 7months old e61i...
although i loved my e61i but the slowness of the device (menu, gallery, msg,etc) really bug me like crazy...example, when u open messages (even with hardly any msgs stored), you have to look somewhere else for few seconds then look back at the screen, or worst when you open gallery, i takes ages!
believe me, i've tried ALL form of optimization methods (including those mentioned in this article), i even went as far as resizing all my gallery pics to 320x240pixels, deleting all msgs in inbox, barebone theme w/o wallpaper, hard reset every once awhile, etc, etc.
but, i had enough.
i jus bought n82 for USD420, and the diff is amazing, the snappiness of n82, the killer camera, the quality of the pictures, the DVD movie recording, all the goodies of Nseries, the smaller but 'crispier' screen (weird, i know), the You-can-open-70apps-at-the-same-time-without-any-problem size of memory..i don't see any good reason why we should deprive ourselves from this goodness with little bit of extra money and sticking with a snail-paced and underpowered e61i...
