The E61 is one of Nokia's first smartphones to use the Symbian operating system. It has a QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi options. It also has the ability to edit documents and send email. If you want to use it as a modem to connect to your computer, you will need a data plan. This will allow you to surf the Internet from just about anywhere that you can get phone reception.
Instructions
1. Turn on your phone and go to the main menu. Go to the BlueTooth menu and turn it on. Click on "Make Phone Discoverable."
2. Boot up your computer and go to the "Control Panel" and click on "Add BlueTooth Device." Follow the instructions of the Bluetooth Installation Wizard. You will come to a window that lists all "Discoverable" devices in the area. Find your Nokia E61 in the window, highlight it and click "Next."
3. Type in the security code for the phone. If you haven't changed it, the default is usually "000" or "888." Click "OK" and "Finished."
