What is it: PDA-style handset with full keyboard and support for mobile email
What we think: Somewhat large as an everyday device, but if you need mobile email and a big screen to read it on, the E61 could be a good choice

We like:
Astonishing battery life; loud audio playback; large keypad; infrared, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
We don't like:
No camera for 3G video calls; 64MB on-board memory is stingey
You might also need:
miniSD cards; protective case
CNET.co.uk judgement:
Not everyone is going to warm to this chunky, 3G, PDA-style handset, and the absence of a camera will certainly put some potential video callers off. But if mobile email is your thing, or you want a big screen for Wi-Fi Web browsing, or fancy the idea of creating documents on the move, then it could well appeal

If you're keen on keeping up to date with your emails then getting a phone with an email client, push email support and a Qwerty keypad could be a wise buy
