Fantastic battery life reasonable features.Wish it came in at more competitive price point
There is only so much left to be done with a candy bar design,right? Not exactly,as Benq Siemens demonstrated with its E61.It even won the Reddot Design Award 2006,so there.
The E61 is a no frills phone,it can make receive calls and does what most mobile phones do,but with a few tricks up its sleeve battery life, and MP3 capability come immediately to mind.
To ensure the E61 fulfils is alter ego role as a portable digital audio device, the E61 comes with a miniSD slot and dedicated player buttons mounted at the top of the phone.However, having everything mounted at the top half of the phone dedicated media playback buttons, external memory slot and SIM SLOT has necessited a thicker upper portion for the E61. It may look slightly odd at first,but hold it in your hand and it its very comfortable into the profile of the palm.
It battery life is one of the better one of the current lot, returning a standby time of 87 hours after 34 minutes of talktime and 37 SMS. Most settings were left at default levels, but I turned off the keypad sounds and bumped ring volume to its max. Taking into consideration itchy hands ( not mine! ) fiddling with battery juice suckers like the camera and its MP3 capabilities three and a half days of standby is not bad at all.
As a basic phone, dont expect anything more than 640 x 480 resolution from the E61 camera. It does not even have a LED,let alone flash,so forget about low light photography .
In everyday applications,the E61 is very user friendly, each key is slanted upwards for easier navigation and key presses are rewarded by solid clicks.The 16 bit 128 x 160 display is bright enough under most conditions , but gets a little tricky under bright and direct sunlight.Reception is generally good while earpiece volume is fantastic, I had to reduce the volume to protect my hearing.The E61 comes with USB connectivity but that is as far as connectivity goes,as it does not have Bluetooth nor infrared capabilities. This would have been well and good with user looking for an entry level phone,but the price point, the justification is somewhat muddled. It does however have dedicated digital audio capabilities and expandable memory on its side,which is quite a plus hence in reality it up to you to judge the phone that you want and what you are willing to pay for it. Ok guys I really hope you enjoy with my blog.. bye..
