too many good points to mention about this phone but in a nutshell:
amazingly responsive touchscreen, just right!
camera is tops!
tap input is great especially iphone style - turn sideways when texting
expanding memory is a must
good size - not too big
i recomend a screen protector
only bad points: camera lense sticks out at the back so when putting it on a table will cause it to scratch and iv never been a fan of a stylus hanging off the phone
other than that i fully recomend this phone as it is aces!

blackberry beater!
to start with - im not a blackberry fan!
i have tried several and hated them as you HAD to waste money on a "blackberry plan" to benefit from owning a blackberry
nokia did let me down a while back with reliability issues surrounding the smartphones (last nokia i was happy with was my N95 - bought on release date years ago!)
since then i wondered off to try other phones. touch screens seem the norm and have come a long way especially the iphone (which i loved) but nothing beats the reliability of having buttons!
i went for a inbetween G1 (which is still have and use) but for size i needed something slimmer for when i went out
the E61 and E61i both impressed me (my dad has both) so i decided to go back to nokia - originally looked at the E63 which is excellent i bought a E71 with copilot package that picks up signal quickly (without web use) and works with the inbuilt GPS - most new phones have gps built in but nothing works with it! my G1 has that issue!!!!
this phone is fantastic! easy to text, i still love being able to sync it with PC, Hotmail, Mediaplayer! it even works perfectly with the parrot kit in my car that normally cries blue murder with any new device! this reminds me why nokias have been top business phones for so many years - i have had most of the smartphones they made
screen size and quality doesnt match with my G1 BUT its so easy to use and is slim and comes in some excellent colours and feels quality as it is a metal not plastic! this might just be me but i always prefered my iphone 2g because it had the metal back, just a thought!
with the OVI store it rivals the market on android and itunes apps on the iphone - it does need to keep expanding but i registered and get emails of the new apps, alot of them are free!
i use the phone for work so having alot of the blackberry features are useful but not worth paying alot for as most contracts give you web usage anyway - this phone has all them features and it doesnt cost you extra to use!
definatly recomend this phone a million times over! hopefully i will be lucky enough to upgrade to the newer model soon but at the moment im more than happy with this feature rich blackberry killer!
