We like:
Light and small; neat hardware design; well-positioned music controls
We don't like:
No Bluetooth; poorly sited headphones slot; can't use 3.5mm headset; no video capture; low-res camera
You might also need:
miniSD card
CNET.co.uk judgement:
It's a bit of a cliché but the E61 mofi is something of a triumph of style over substance. It looks great, and has well-positioned music controls. But there are too many disappointing factors for us to rave about it. If you want a phone for voice calls and the odd tune on the move, though, this could be a good budget buy
