Might have to ask them if they stock it... http://www.nokia.co.nz/support/produ...port/nokia-e71
I like the E63, does everything I want and more, got it free with a certain plan.

saw the E71 in a vodafone store today, well, digital mobile I believe. Re touch screen, I have fat blunt fingers, so I found the screens frustrating as hell to use, so i've struck them off my list. A physical keyboard with tactile feedback is the way to go for me...

those keyboards are pretty small though

Yeah, wouldn't recommend for the uh... older folk. However, if you look carefully, the keys are domed, which I find makes them really easy to type on, with almost 100% accuracy. The iphone was horrible (3GS and 4), accuracy went out the window as you had no idea what you were touching. Trying to get backspace to delete the countless mistake, and getting something else just added to the frustration.

I have recently gone from an E71i to an iphone, and the only thing I miss about the E71 is its great battery life.
The iphone is really easy to use, there are plenty of free applications and support.
I don't agree on the call quality, mine is fine, although I too have read some people complain, but most of what I read is from the states, and the majority of Americans would moan if their ass was on fire instead of putting it out.
The downside to any iphone is the poor battery life (but they can be set up to last quite long, about 3 days max if you only talk about 10 minutes a day, and sync emails once or twice a day), but 48 hours is more typical.
Personally, I would not advise getting a iphone if you have only PC ( I have a macbook, Macpro, and an ipad), as well as the iphone (and macs at work), so it is logical for me, but iphones and so on really work best with mac's.
Up to you though.
I believe that you would be dissapointed with battery life.... we all carry chargers with us wherever we go, and I am even considering a solar power charger for my bag....just in case!
He's back bitches!
Other than the fact I agree totally that the iPhone is great... WTF are you talking about Willis. Why does an iPhone work so much better with Apple products. We have two iPhones and an iPad happily working in a One windows and countless Linux box house and Im pretty sure Im getting everything out of all of em.
...Hey, if Im missing something then let me know, I'll add that to the business case to get the last windows notebook replaced with an apple but I cant think what more I could do with the iPad/phone I aint already doing.
Oh, FWIW. I have to charge the dam thing every night (overnight) cos otherwise Id not make it through two days without the battery dying. But hey, this is on the net daily, texting getting email, blah blah (oh and the occasional phone call which is radical), and then contected to Wifi at home etc etc so its no wonder really

All phones are equipped with an "OFF" button.
It surprises me how many people at sporting locations seem to like leaving their phones in communal areas.
It surprises them when they find it switched off at the end of the day...

Nope, the Galaxy S i9000 has the hummingbird, which kicks the Snapdraggons arse when it comes to processing...very different phones under the hood.

My recommendation is not to replace it at all.
I've been without a cell phone for three months after christ knows how many years of thinking I couldn't do without it. It's fucken awesome. I love it.

I like the old phones that you could use for a door stop, or a baton.

Maybe some company will bring out a retro model..?

Doesnt seem that long ago we had the phones that had the dialing circle and not a cell phone in sight. Pay phones pon the road side were the only alternative to the home phone.Maybe some company will bring out a retro model..?
How quiet and relaxed life was in the 1980s!

Yup! And even more relaxed in the 60's and 70's!

I made my final decision today, a Nokia E5. This appears to be a newer version of the E63/E71. Main difference is even longer battery life, smaller, lihter and better screen.
I mostly decided against the iPhone/Android versions because the idea of having to charge the phone daily was not attractive. The idea of not being able to even make it through a weekend was even less attractive.
I took a look at the iPhone web browser, and although ok I couldn't seriously see myself using it unless an emergency. The experience is not good enough.
I also value phone stability highly, and as a result, don't think I would have risked installing iPhone/Android apps unless really needed. Having said that, there are plenty of Symbian apps (Symbian being the OS Nokia use).
