Nokia E65 May 23, 2007

I think I’ve found the (almost) perfect phone. I struggled to decide between the Nokia N95 and E65 for a few weeks, but when I saw the E65 streaming live TV via SlingBox (which I got free with my contract), I was sold.
What I hadn’t actually expected (which makes it an even more pleasant surprise) was the amazing connectivity of this phone. It’s actually enabled me to spend far less time “just going to check my email”, as I’m using Seven’s push email client. I also don’t need to go to my lappy to check my site stats etc as Opera Mini is perfect for just that. The Wi Fi is fantastic and I’m using TruPhone to make free calls for the time being, at least – will have to see what the cost will be after June.
I’ve got IM+ installed, so I don’t need to be at my computer for instant messaging, too, with support for all the major IM systems.
I’ve just purchased a bluetooth GPS and will report back soon with my experiences when using it with the phone.
There must be something bad about this phone, surely? Well, the only small gripe is having to manually switch some software between wireless and 3g when I’m moving around, but I can live with that. Battery life is a little shorter than I’d like too, but I’m nearly always within range of a power or USB socket, so that’s really not too much of an issue either.

thanks for letting me know. I just ordered an E65 for myself and was a little worried that I should have chosen a different one for work.
the push email sounds good
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. It really is a terrific piece of kit. I’ve had it for about 6 weeks now and am constantly finding cool stuff to do on it
