    hmmm... kinda hook to this phone .. since it has nearly everything wi-fi, GPS, 3.2 Mp, push email, outlook exchange and quite reasonable price. Any comment?

    Got one question, can it be install with Garmin GPS software so I can use the GPS for free without the need of Nokia map? Read it somewhere that it can be done... true or false?

    E71, E66

    Must BUY! BUY BUY BUY! the best phones in 2008. if not because iphone gives a more fluid, larger view net browsing experience (sorry! but i spend alot of time on the train), i would have gotten the E71, which is better in every other aspects. the E66 is equally good. it's a mini E71.

    How much does it cost?

    If I were you, I will go for Windows Mobile PDA/smartphone

    I just hate Symbian

    about RM1.7K .. yeah is Symbian, the UI look ok. Win CE err .. phone quite big don't really like touch screen, E66 nice size not too big.

    Yeah I like the size .. mini E71 .. wish it has 5MP though .. hehehehe

    Symbian is slow (older models). but surprisingly everything runs quite fast on the E71. in fact it's the first symbian phone that I don't complain bout..it being sluggish :lol:

    Windows mobile can be slow as well if you pick the wrong phone. try OMNIAAAAA or TOUCHHHHHHHH DIAMONDD. utter rubbish. then again it's the manufacturers that give WM a bad name. completely lost touch with the reality. get rid of those 3d interface! WM default interface is useful enough.

    Completely agree with you.

    Interface or not, you have the ability to disable, so it doesn't matter. :mrgreen: My friend was surprised with my phone's responsiveness using Touch Flo 2D. He's using Omnia. :p

    sob .. no one like symbian? I actually used to write codes for symbian .. but gave it up, cause it really pain in the backside. The previous version of OS do look a bit cacat but the one on the E66 surprisingly quite ok.. test drove it in Nokia Showroom...

    I think Symbian is ok if you are not planning to do much on the phone, other than what's already on the phone.

    I feel that WM has far more flexibility. Until today, I'm still playing with various types of tools, software for my WM phone. :haha:

    I guess that you might not share the same interest though. :mrgreen:
