Well I've just got myself an E66 to replace my HTC Touch Diamond as I eventually got sick of the lack of real keys and general bugginess, unintuitiveness and instability of Windows Mobile.
Looked at the E71 and had a play with one as well as an E66 and decided that I could type a lot quicker on the E66 than with the E71's qwerty keyboard (I text a lot)
I'm amazed at the build quality, it's quite a way ahead of the N Series phones being made largely out of stainless steel and it feels very solid, the slider mechanism in particular. I've had an S60v3 phone in the past (N73) and loved it. Should have kept it over the Orange SPV I replaced it with, really! Ho hum. The OS is a LOT more stable and a LOT more responsive than Windows Mobile. So far the only downside against the Touch Diamond is the screen resolution, but that doesn't bother me along side the improvements. Come on Microsoft, WinMo needs some SERIOUS usability improvements
Stop relying on manufacturers to have to bodge together a decent front end!
Anyone else using an E Series then, who isn't a 'business user'?
