So far I love it. It uses the Symbian S60 OS, which I am getting used to. It's treo sized, But does not use a stylus.

what service does this work through?

 

I have tmobile, but it will work with any 800/1800 or 850/1900 gsm network

 

would it work with Sprint?

 

Nope. It will not work with sprint or verizon.

 

cool! I'm patiently waiting for the e70 to hit the us market. Did you get it with a plan? how much?

 

I got it unlocked from ebay for 500 and slipped my card in. THe cool part is that it has bluetooth, infrared, and WiFi connectivity, plus the t-mobile internet service as well. It has configuration options for pop3 and IMAP emails

The wifi option is really cool

 

the E70's a cool phone too, I don't think I could get used to that form factor though.

 

Yeah, its gonna be bit bulky... but full keyboard + wifi + that screen...

I can't see myself paying $500 though... I'm going to have to wait a while. I'm hoping Amazon.com picks it up, their prices are really good.

 

I was pondering the E61 / E70. It seems kind of odd to have such a big screen, and no stylus. You have to cursor all over the screen?

 

Yeah, you use the joypad to move around the screen. I really don't mind it at all. I've had the treo 650, and a couple other Windows based PDA's, and the E61 is really no harder to use. Actually, it's even easier because you don't have to pull out the stylus whenever you need to do something, and also, no stylus to lose.

 

Ordered it, should get it shortly.

What case do you have for it?
I'd love to get this one,but can't find a place that has it:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/10627.htm

(that site doesn't seem to ship to US)

 

I have not gotten a case for it yet. All I do for now is lock the keypad and put it in my pcoket, screen facing my thigh. I'd like to get a plastic holster for it, like a blackberry holster, but I haven't really looked for one yet
.

 

i'm still going back and forth on this phone. having both wifi and BT is great. also this phone is selling for $379 at www.plemix.com it's just the shipping is a killer. have you tried VOIP service on the phone yet?

 

WTF?!? I bought it from there not long ago, and The price dropped by $35 already?
oh well.

I haven't tried VOIP, no.

 

the case i use for my e61 is the motorola q case (with belt clip). it fits perfectly.

i like the e61. it is not as intuitive to use like the treo but hardware, voice and display quality is better. internet and email over cingular is much much faster on the e61 than the treo 650. no software support yet. the only software i can find are the useless ones. sucks!!! i need software for "full picture id", and some other stuff.
