Flickr is starting to make me feel bad about my E61

I really wish there was a Nokia (NYSE: NOK) store around here so I could try before I buy. I’ve been bored lately and of course what can you do to pass the time? Browse Flickr! Well doing that I’ve apparently fallen in love with the Nokia E70. The keyboard looks nice, it has a camera (2MP), it has built in wifi, and best of all the screen resolution (352 x 416) is higher than that on my E61 (320×240)! I’m really kicking myself in the back for not considering this gullwing beauty in the first place.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my E61. It’s a beast of a phone, but there is just something I can’t quite put my finger on about the E70 that makes me feel regret. I won’t name any names, but you sent me a picture of your Christmas tree, and when I went to check the EXIF data to see what camera you used I saw it was an E70. After I made that discovery I popped that search term into Flickr, YouTube, and Google (NSDQ: GOOG) and have been feeling like poop since. Jealousy is sweet isn’t it!
Dear Nokia: Open up a flagship store in DFW, TX! Pretty please, with sugar on top.
Yes the screen is nice. I believe that it is the same as is on the e60. Anyway i have recently come to believe that qwerty is a bit overrated. try typing using t9 for one week – without looking at the keypad. You can become quite fast at it. When you get really good at it you dont even need to look at the phone to type.
I’ve had T9 for years, I can type on it with my eyes closed
I can type a hell of a lot faster on my E61
sorry t9 is so 1999.. QWERTY is the only way to go.. i could not go back..
the e70 is a really nice phone and I considered it..but it was a bit more $ but what sold me on the e61 was Quadband.. the e70 is triband only..
FYI, Stefan, there’s a Nokia Experience Center in both the Dallas Galleria and the Stonebriar malls here in Dallas. You can head up there and play before buying. Not a Flagship store but the next best thing.
Those little kiosks rarely have anything worth showing off. display models galore but no working models.
am i wrong on that one? please tell me i am
the E70 is europe only last time i checked …
