Where is Jrsy Devil's Food Cake now? Finally someone gives some credit to wonderful Symbian Phone, the E71, which is a great phone and I know first hand because I have one.
It just sits there waiting to be use because I use a Q since I work for MOTO. Its AWFUL.But people almost come to tears when they see how elegant and useful as the E71.
@LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M: IF only I hadn't just replaced my phone making me ineligible for an upgrade, I'd be all over the E71x. It'll probably cost triple to just buy it.
You rang? Sorry I missed this earlier and thanks for asking about me. I only hope when AT&T gets their hands on this phone that they don't ruin it was crippling firmware.
[thread-jack]On a slightly related, side-note I just got the 5800 Xpress Music this weekend. The US version is way better than the European one. I found the Euro version to be slow transitioning between menus and somewhat lagging overall. It was also annoying that despite being familiar with the S60 UI I had some trouble navigating through the menu to find things that weren't where I expected them to be. Additionally it was frustrating that some items required two taps to access while other needed three (with seemingly no rhyme or reason to this).
Compared to the US version it's like night and day. The UI is much more responsive and for the most part easy to use even with my big hands. Everything is two taps instead of a mix. The call quality is excellent. So far the only area I've had some difficulty with is the web browsers (default and Opera Mini). Navigating around them and clicking some of the links is cumbersome (curse these huge meat paws!). I can see my productivity (if you can call it that, it's more like goofing off) on-line is much slower than on my N95. I'm too used to dedicated buttons. We'll see if that improves. If not then at least I have 14 days to return it.
@TrevorTheGreat: Probably not for a few more years. Apple has never been an early adopter of hardware. So far, they have always tried to innovate through user interface.

They do get the coolest hardware.
I can't for the life of me leave Verizon though because I'm too well hooked up right now.
Perhaps some day...
