But time and technology led me to a Nokia E62 (bleh!) and a Samsung BlackJack II. Yes I want a bigger screen on them both, but I like that they do *everything* and yet are so small. So I found REDFLY - www.celiocorp.com - that I can use to augment my phone. When I travel and need a larger screen and keyboard, I carry the REDFLY in my cargo pants. Not an ideal solution for day to day use, I know, but I think I prefer it over permanently carrying a large phone.

E61i is the best Nokia device that must be improved. BUT!... Keep 2,8 display and QWERTY! Or even 3" display would be more preferable. With QWERTY. E71 is less atractive exactly due to smaller screen. Agree!!! E61i is the best Nokia device that must be improved. BUT!… Keep 2,8 display and QWERTY! Or even 3″ display would be more preferable.

With the stability of the E61i it would be ... amazing... Regarding the E61i with VGA screen idea... with FP1, SDHC, 128MB opearting memory... and a promise that it wont be left out in the cold regarding software upgrades... I would probably be buying...

I recently bought a Touch Pro to replace my Nokia N95 8GB. I still prefer symbian over windows mobile; I feel it is a powerful os, but I couldn't stand the qvga resolution. To the person recommending the E90 I couldn't agree more. I owned the E90 and it was my favorite device I have ever owned but sold it due to lack of 3g. If Nokia came out with a version with US 3g I would be the first in line to rebuy it. I really like the looks of the E71, but I personally will not be buying any devices from now on that don't have close to a vga display. (Keeping my eye on Tube) I really am looking forward to see what Nokia has up there sleaves for the next Communicator, but due to the long gaps between communicators, I don't expect a new one until Feb. of 2010.

It would be edging a bit into the UMPC realm, which IMO is the direction all smartphone type devices should be headed anyway. What I really want is _ANY_ VGA (or better) screened S60 device from Nokia. They seem to be stuck in QVGA screen production even at their top end, which I suppose is good for competing devices like the HTC Touch HD and the Sony Xperia X1. Still, I'd love to see and S60 or perhaps even touch S60 device from Nokia.

I am sure you will not believe. I am running these dats at Nokia shop and they told me "SOLD OUT" the e61i Downside: No front camera for 3G No FM Radio Slower OS operation of symbian But I am like you, I just need such screen. (replying boss email and customers) Doing web surfuing on google reader killing articles. Infact, I still own E61 but the middle 5 ways killing my fingers. edmond Same !

Your idea is very pretty. Now i am finding my next future second brain and same form with VGA (and OS 9.5 touch or touchless) is good evolution step. Next nice idea (not my, just read anywhere) is to create new model row U (Ultimate) joining E and N. So add insisde this thinked device functions like TVout (VGA and PAL resolution is similar) and accelerometer. I am user of E61, because i enjoy big screen and full keyboard.

But for me, VGA is not required for a non-touch device. S60 lacks some power that Windows Mobile has. That is reason why I'm planning to move from E61i to a powerful Windows Mobile device.
