It's extremely user friendly and is has fantastic features. I did have some problems of upgrading the Nokia PC suite from the CD that was given. But, the customer service too was pretty good. They handled the queries quiet well back here in India. At that price and features, it is quite a sensible buy! I have had a great experience with Nokia E 61.

WiFi is great to have to surf on the net from everywhere, to download files. with little add-ons (total 50 $), I can check if my flghts are delayed or ontime, get the weather reports, lock my keyboard (yes, this feature is not automatic when you buy it) I am very happy with this new device, even if it is not very friendly to have it by your ear. music is in stereo when I use a bluetooth headset Hi every one,

Currently, I'm using a Sprint Windows Mobile PPC-6700 for three reasons: The slide-out keyboard is truly usable (I can't type on Blackberry or Treos - the button are too close together and too small); the tethered 3G mode (via USB or bluetooth) to use as a modem with a laptop IS A STEAL at $15/month for unlimited data; full synchronization with our Exchange email for contacts, calendar, task list in addition to basic email is free (Blackberry requires BES server and Treo requires Goodlink - these can add $10 to $30/month is "extra" service fees). For primarily a phone, I'm still prefer the Moto Razr although I'm looking at the Motorola Q as a possible compromise for both phone and some data (but I don't like the non-touch screen interface and the buttons are not solid.) The Treo 700Wx lookd decent, but the keyboard just doesn't work for me and it doesn't have all the radio options that Sprint has. There is rumor of a new line of Smartphones from HTC (the Taiwan folks that actually make the PPC-6700 and most PDA's for HP et. al.) so we are probably going to see another wave of products hitting the shelves soon and it might make sense to wait for the Xmas promos to see what will be available.

The media player should work in stereo. You should be able to tether with it (though I haven't personally tested). The E62 rocks, though the E61 is better because of WiFi.

(e.g., connect via USB to my laptop and get Internet access?) I know Edge is really slow (albeit still several times faster than dialup) but when there is no Wi-Fi and I just need to upload some documents this Edge modem capability would come in handy.

Yes it's discontinued but it has everything a new Windows Mobile Smarphone has. And you get can get from $30 (very used) to $100 (brand new) 200Mhz processor, Class 10 GPRS, Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition, SD Card for expansion, even query keyboard and it FLIPS OUT from the bottom base so it's actually SMALLER than the Q or Nokia E60 series. There's NO Bluetooth, it's GSM so you have to be on T-Mobile or Cingular, and there's no EDGE (and of course no UMTS or HSDPA) but for $60-80 (average) with NO CONTRACT you can't beat it. I've had mine for a year already and when I broke the batter in a fall got a brand new one on ebay. I know some of you think $600 is too little for a phone, but for the fruggle ones amongs.... ;-) For my money it’s the UNLOCKED Voq from sierra wireless.

As Jason says, E62 has too small keys and although I have pretty thin fingers it's difficult for me to write on this keyboard. I can write email or SMS much faster on a classic mobile phone keyboard with the T9 enabled. I think usability is a big issue of this model. Also the quality of the material is rather poor. The price is <i>really</i> great though. For a Symbian phone almost unbelievable. Still I would look for other models from the Eseries.
