The one thing you really can’t (generally) accuse Nokia of is conservative smartphone design. Quite apart from the outrageous specifications and gymnastics of the Nseries, especially the N93, even their ‘business’ devices are very differently styled. So, we have a trio of Eseries smartphones (plus the more recent E50 – which AAS is going to be reviewing in the next week or so – and the leaked-but-not-quite-announced-yet Communicator successor), all with very similar internals but very different form factors.
There’s the landscape-screened E61 with permanent qwerty keyboard and the folding E70, with camera and twin keyboards, both of which are strong contenders in their own right. So what’s so special about the E60, with neither qwerty input, camera or gimmicks? The unique selling point is that there aren’t any gimmicks. It’s the full S60 3rd Edition experience but in the plainest, most traditional ‘boring’ form factor possible – no curves, no sliding bits, no cameras, no hinges. The E60 looks like a phone, acts like one and will hopefully be as reliable as that 6 year old Nokia ‘dumb’ phone that’s been kicking around in your glove compartment – there’s simply almost nothing to go wrong. And the absence of a camera will endear it to many companies, worried over security.

Very detailed review, check it out for yourself. I still say get a 6300 if you want a no frills phone. S60 is too complicated for most people.
