Summary: An Amazing Piece of Modern Engineering
Comment: The E70 is incredible. It took me a long time to finally get my hands on, and was a bit pricey compared with all the free phones they give out, but it's been worth it.

I have Cingular wireless (w/ Unlimited Medianet) and was able to simply swap in my SIM card and start using it right away. I installed Exchange ActiveSync and my Contacts/Email/Tasks/Calendar were synched up within minutes. It's incredibly and ridiculously convenient.

The installed applications are fantastic: just the fact that I can receive an email instantally (just like Blackberry) then view a PDF/Word/etc attachment (the resolution on the screen is very impressive) and reply back within minutes, from anywhere, is worth the money.

It has "every" feature and then some. Just read the manual/product page.

The only downside that I've found to this phone is that I've come to expect too much out of it. IT can do so much (from compose Word docs to browse the web in a real browser) that I sometimes think I'm on a real computer, and expect it to be able to do "real computer" things, like Copy/Paste across applications, have a taskbar, etc. But it's just a phone ... and with a pad of paper handy (to say, write down a non-linked phone number on a webpage that i need to call) this is easily overcome.

Summary: Worth the Hassle
Comment: This phone was a bit difficult to get in the US when I bought it a few months ago. I ended up getting it on eBay. I am extremely happy with it. Here are some of the things I like:
- Records audio and video
- High resolution, compact color screen
- Supports WiFi, you can use it to snoop for WiFi without starting up your laptop
- Unlocked, and uses GSM sim cards (so you are not bound to one cellular provider.)
- Good web browser
- Runs Symbian s60v3, which integrates with a GMail client
- Looks like a (slightly big) regular candy-bar phone, until you open it, and wham, there's a QWERTY keyboard. For me, this is the fastest text entry method
- Good reception, similar to my old Sony Ericsson T28, and MUCH better than the Motorola v330 I tried.
- Keys backlight when you start typing

Negatives:
- The little joystick is hard to press straight down without moving it to the side. It's the command button for a lot of things, so this is annoying until you get used to it. Also, the paint started wearing off the joystick after just a few weeks.
- The screen is high resolution, but sometimes I wish it were bigger.
- The voice recorder button on the side sticks out, so I am always hitting it accidentally and making voice recordings.

I'm extremely happy with it. If you get one, I recommend you get a screen protector to protect your purchase.

Summary: Quite close to an ideal phone
Comment: I have really enjoyed this phone, especially after the latest firmware update.
Responsive, powerful, and customisable: It has been a pleasure to use. The camera is good for spontaneous snapshots, I can read books, play, listen to music on it... It has become the only gadget in my pocket.

Summary: IPHONE KILLER
Comment: I did a lot of research for my next cell phone, as I am really picky about the kind of technology I keep on me all day long. I wanted something that supported web browsing capability without the bulky size of most phones like blackberries, and a full qwerty keyboard for web address typing and text msging (not the scaled down version on the Pearl). This phone offered everything a smart phone should, including the full keyboard, at the smallest size with sleek design in mind for the style conscious consumer. Everything from the 16 million-color display to the internal wi-fi allow me to enjoy more than i've ever been able to from a cell phone. You can even run terminal software to telnet or SSH into remote servers, meaning you can control your gaming or web server from anywhere. As for the stuff most users will make use of, it also includes IMAP and POP3 email. I can check my work or personal email from anywhere, and connect to the internet with one single click, and view pages in their original layout (not scaled down for mobile users) and save bookmarks. If I need directions, I can jump on mapquest or google maps for directions while I'm driving, OR print them out to take on the go. At work, I can also use it to present powerpoint presentations (use the phone to flip through the slides). The camera's quality is amazing for photo (resolution up to 1600 x 1200) and video (352 x 288). With miniSD cards you can swap in and out, storage on this phone is unlimited. You can listen to all your music (MP3/AAC) with great sound quality without the need for phony marketing buzz words like 'iPod' (an iPod is really just an mp3 player, which most newer phones now support).

Why is this phone not more popular or all over the news like the iPhone? Simple. Nokia has the worst marketing team on the face of this Earth. Great technology, amazing phones, all gone to waste due to horrible marketing.

Summary: Nice phone that does almost everything
Comment: This is my first fancy phone, and I'm impressed. It's a nice solid phone, not too big or heavy, but packed with features.

It's a fine cellphone with good sound quality and a usable speakerphone.

The mobile versions of Gmail and Google Maps work very well. The built-in web browser is pretty good. I also tried the Opera download, which works OK, but I prefer the built-in browser.

The camera is surprisingly good -- I didn't buy it for the camera, but it works great for daylight shots, to the point where I will probably stop using my (older) camera entirely.

The screen, while very sharp, is a bit small for my eyes.

The keyboard is a gigantic improvement over keypad text input, though still far worse than a laptop of course.

Wifi works well for web browsing & email.

I am not very impressed by the built-in Voip features -- it was a selling point for me, but it's clear that it's not quite ready for prime time. I did eventually get my SIP account configured, but it was a struggle, and the end result was not very satisfying. My main problem was that incoming SIP calls would usually not ring the phone, instead going straight to voice mail. I had better luck with Fring (a third-party downloadable app) which also supports Skype and Google Talk, but Voip on this phone, while workable and very cheap, is still far from the convenience and reliability of regular cellular voice.

I am very happy with this phone as a music player. Sound quality is great, and with a 2GB Mini SD card, capacity is pretty good. My main quibble is that I had to buy an adapter in order to use regular headphones.
