I know the program was working because i showed it to some tech guys just an hour before this occurred. Is the european wifi chips different than ours (Vodaphone)?

Remember that this program sets up an ad-hoc (i.e. peer-to-peer) network, as opposed to a router-based network (not sure of the technical term). Some devices can't see ad-hoc networks; perhaps the E61 is one of them.
