I am pleased with the E60 as a replacement for my indestructible 6310i. Very solid with proper, full size keys. No gimmicks & I don't need a camera. The Internet applications & business features are a bit beyond me, but I will eventually learn about these. The E60 is exactly what I want.

I just wanted to mention how amazing the WLAN is. The phone will pick up more networks, & with more reliability than high end WLAN cards. Better than my home pc with £50 Netgear USB wireless device, & my friends laptop with new £40 Belkin wireless card couldn't pick up any networks... the E60 picked up 7 in the same location.

Other than that, the phones the most user friendly I've had. I don't care about not having a camera. I just get other ppl with high end camera phones to Bluetooth them over!

On the downside, it doesn't have the option to change the snooze time out on the alarm clock, like my last Nokia. This is actually a huge disappointment!! Even tried a few Symbian alarm apps, but no luck there either.

Great smartphone & 3G technology, what a great business phone. No camera but I am pleased about that as I never use the camera function on my phone. It doesn't exactly appeal to me taking photos of my business partners & at the weekend I use a digital camera to take shots of my great kids. I would like to have a closer look at this photo but need to find out its released date. Is it out already?

Luv the screen 16 million colour that will be impressive. Luv the built in technology it should have some real speed & power to this phone. A bit too advanced for me but I like to know that these types of phones are available & being designed. The price should be high for this phone as it offers so much....phone spotter Lorna.

Technology is massive in the E60 & includes everything my Dad wants from his phone. A smart phone, 3G, USB, multi connection, bluetooth, WLAN, browser, WCDMA & WAP. What a wicked combination & he loves Nokia, I will show him this beast straight away.
