I have been using this new Nokia E61 for 3 weeks now. My recommendation: BUY IT! Reasons: JavaScripts, Cookies. Much better than WM5 in accessing the Internet. I am a software developer in mobile and Internet applications. I hold off buying a poket PC with WM5 because it cannot execute the Javascripts. , the most important thing in Internet access to the Internet server database. Example: I did used the E61 to book regular and award tickets in United.bom, including selecting seat assignments, exactly like the regular PC access. (what more can one ask for?)

Other not than important advantages: 3G for Japan and Korea roaming, Wi-Fi in 8011g, Word and Excel inputting, easy for email access, very nice screen format, good construction (my daughter just throw this E61 to the stone ground last night out of frustration, and only a few scratch, what a relief!)

Bad points: no camera, that means no video call in 3G area.

I was considering buying Treo, Dopod, Backberry, HP, but none of them fulfill my requirements. I need a 3G, Wi-Fi, Javascript with cookies, full Word and Excel. This E61 fulfills all my requirements. I hope the information help the OP.
