Battery
After the impressive battery performance of the E61, one would think even HP might be able to pull it off, but no. Even with all the radios turned off (no WiFi, no Bluetooth, no GPS), you’ll barely manage about two days of battery life with maybe half to one hour of talk time. There isn’t too much to talk about out here—you should simply carry the charging cable with you, which fortunately doesn’t need to the cradle for recharging.

Conclusion
The phone demands an astounding Rs. 37,999. While the performance of the phone and the applications is great, and there are a whole lot of connectivity options ranging from GSM, GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth, WiFi, Infrared, USB and even GPS navigation, the E61 is better because it costs half and does all of this, barring the GPS and the digital camera. The GPS doesn’t work too well out here and the camera quality is below par, so I think I’ll stick to the Nokia E61 or even the BlackBerry Pearl, both of which cost a whole lot less.
