actually, what I wanted to find out is if the 51xx and 61xx series have
modems programmed in the phone's firmware. sorry if I didn't make myself

both are functionally the same. however, the softmodem takes plenty of CPU
cycles compared to it's hardware brethen, and sometimes has issues with
platform availabilty (ie. nokia 51/61xx modem specs are not publicly
available, therefore 3rd party developers sometimes has to
experiment/reverse engineer it first before they can use it. unless of
course nokia issues the specs out)
