Let me before I submit more posts, introduce my Nokia e61 to you. I bought it in the Netherlands (type RM-89) and taking a good look at the production tag it was made in Finland, Nokia’s home country. How this is relevant I will explain in a later post. The phone came with the first firmware installed (upgraded in the meantime) and came with the choice of the English or Dutch language (you also have to select this for text typing in settings - still do not understand why this is relevant - can see the relevance for Asian languages).

Currently I have installed the Theme “Blue Orange Light” after using s60 (white) for quite some time. Problem with the s60 theme is (and I only found out too late - I killed a few programs because I presumed these were not working) that it is not optimized for the e61 and as such sometimes you cannot see a text box and / or text because it disappears in the theme itself. For the ring tones I use one of the standards that comes with the e61, however, for SMSs I use the “Anybody There” tone inherited from a SonyEricsson mobile in the past. As you can see I am still on holiday (operator = INDOSAT). Main applications in standby (other than standard) are : ProfiMail, Morange, and Handy Weather.
