Just curious what your favorite apps are:

Full Screen Caller is great. Nothing like having a 320x200 picture pop up as caller ID. (I have a E61).

Google maps mobile (maps.google.com/gmm) is ULTRA cool since it displays traffic! Not as good as it sounds, but it's really neat just the same!

and of course, the usual web browser and e-mail.

 

PDAnet -it allows me to go online with my laptop anywhere I have Verizon service

 

Good thread since I just got one of these:

Qtek??

whiskers, your wife makes good coin, why not get a real smartphone?

 

I like it There are credit related problems, I had to go with Vodaphone and this was their best smartphone....Its the same as the O2 mini XDA.

 

I just got Sailing Clicker, and it's great. You use it to control apps on your PC.
I launched the player on my pc, wandered off, and could still use the phone to skip songs, etc

 

How do you like your E61? I'm thinking about possibly getting a smartphone, and I'm not sure which to get. I currently have cingular, but I'm out of contract. Does the E61 have wifi? I hear the cingular verison (e62?) doesn't have wifi....if this is true, can you get the wifi version and hook it up to cingular's service?

 

hey whiskers, you think you could help us (some acurazine members)get the N95 from nokia when it comes out in the UK?

 

E62 does not have Wifi, correct.
The E61 is technically an overseas camera, but mine works fine on Cingular.
Well, besides the fact that Cingular kinda sucks, but that's a signal problem in my area.

Overall, i'm pretty happy with the E61.
No major complaints, although I would prefer a D-pad over the joystick. Oh, the pop-port is a bit lame.

I happen to have a chinese version so it's nice to be able to read chinese stuff.
S60 3rd edition is a bit lacking on apps, but it has all the major ones I want, and the selection is growing. The screen is absolutely fantastic. I used to always use Palms, and I thought I would miss the touchscreen, but I don't. I don't play games much though. Wifi is fantastic, although it does eat the batteries.

Note the E61 has no camera. I didn't want one, though.

 

the e95 doesn't work on the 900mhz band....so not sure how well it will work on cingular?

 

Thanks....yeah i want a phone that has PDA functionality. The lack of a camera is a little annoying, but what can you do. I don't really want to pay a shitload for a data plan...i may just deal with text messages and the WIFI for the internet use. I bid $100 on a used one on ebay, so if i get it, great, then if not, no biggie. I'm just annoyed that there isn't a phone on the market that I'm excited about. I like the N95, but its only tri band, so I don't know how well it will work with cingular, since it is missing one of the cingular bands

 

sorry, the phone works on GSM850/1800/1900 MHz and I just realized that cingular uses 850 and 1900....so you should be fine with the N95

Whiskers, hook me up too!

 

tech specs:
WCDMA2100 (HSDPA), EGSM900, GSM850/1800/1900 MHz (EGPRS)
what the hell is EGSM? first time i've head of it...

 

Probably cost as much to ship to the US then what the phone costs...I could help, although I would think you would need to but one on contract...

 

it can be bought directly from nokia, and its probably going to be 600-800 dollars per phone judging on the price of the current N80. BTYw, shipping would be like 80 dollars per phone.

 

Ouch
