I bought this phone as my first smart phone ever. I love it! To say the least. I almost bought and iPhone but wasn't diggin' the DRM double lock-in to AT&T and apple.
I will just bullet list all the pros and cons:
pros:
1) Slim. Slimmer than the iPhone
2) Incredible battery life. 20 DAYS standby!
3) Incredible bluetooth support including A2DP (stereo audio), bluetooth printer (photos?), and bluetooth keyboard. As well as DUN/ AVRP etc..
4) FM radio is cool.
5) NO LOCK IN! Means, I just inserted my SIM and now I pay only $15/month for data
6) Very customizable (all the buttons can be remapped to do almost anything)
7) Supports Java.
8) Great call quality.
9) Keyboard is easy to work with
10) Supports SIP (You can receive company phone calls directly)
Cons (and this is why it isn't 5*****)
1) Subtle annoyances in the UI (text messaging in particular)
2) The menu system is too complex.
2) No Corporate/Exchange email support. Licensing issues and such. Don't expect your help desk to help.
3) Can't work directly from your SIM
4) FM Radio REQUIRES you to have a wired headset plugged in.
5) Does not charge with USB (interface is the old USB 1.1). Even my 5 year old razr did that.
6) No auto-sense for data connection to prefer wifi to 3g. No "stop asking me to connect all the time!" configuration. Get more detail about Nokia E71 Unlocked Phone with 3.2 MP Camera, 3G, Media Player, GPS, Wi-Fi, and MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Gray).
