Three important must-haves for the Nokia E61i
Three VERY important things for the Nokia E61i:
1). Nokia Type: HS-23 Stereo Headset. (Or any other original Nokia Stereo Headset will do)
2). 2GB MicroSD Memory Card. (Any original card will do. Try to avoid fake cards)
3). A cover for the E61i. (Any kind will do)
1). The first most important, and I cannot stress enough how important this is, is to buy a pair of Original Nokia TYPE: HS-23 Stereo Headphones. I already had a pair of these headphones as it belonged to one of my old Nokia 6080 FM phone. Using the stereo headset while watching movies on the DivX player in the E61i is amazing. Sound quality is good.
The free Mono-headset provided with the Nokia E61i is so bad that it belongs in the trash!! I haven’t touched this rotten Mono-Headset since the day I bought my E61i.
So buy this Nokia TYPE: Hs-23 Stereo Headset asap, or use any other “Stereo” Pop-Port Nokia headphones which you have.

2). The second thing which I did after buying my E61i was to get a 2GB Kingston MicroSD card. It cost only PK Rs.1,100. According to Official Nokia Website, the Nokia E61i supports upto 2GB memory. I have no idea if anyone is using higher memory or not. But Nokia recommends to use upto 2GB memory only in the E61i.
The 256MB Nokia MicroSD card which was provided free in the package just isn’t enough for all the music, movies and videos I carry around in my phone. You can buy any original company MicroSD memory cards, buying Kingston is not necessary, but avoid fake cards as you might end up losing your data in the long run.
3). The third thing is a cover for the E61i. A cover is good to have as it will protect the large 2.8″ screen of your E61i, and save it from scratches and dust. I got a Black Nokia Soft Pouch for PK Rs.200 only from Jinnah Super Market in Islamabad. The pouch was actually for the N-Series phones, but it fits the E61i too.
