Nokia E51

I like my current phone. It’s my first non-Nokia phone but sometimes, I still long for the regular-sized one with the keypads, features and functions I’ve already memorized by heart. Besides, I already have two numbers now — one for the public (which you can see on my contact page) and one for personal/private use.

If the E65 was this thin, I’d get the E65.

Ooh, HSDPA. I wonder why I didn’t cover this in my cellphone blog? Must cost 20K. Maybe you should wait till iPhone gets here, cellphones in general especially high-end ones may get way cheaper.

Nokia 6120 Classic is another option for those who want HSDPA connectivity. I guess it’s the cheapest HSDPA phone.Sold at around 12-13K. A good buy.

Nice! But I already bought an E65… the form factor is OK.

Smart should give me one… I only have plan 800 but I have high roaming bills!

good for you! but ditch the ipod touch get the iPod Classic! 160GB. =P why spend your money on something that has lesser capacity mp3 player.. I know iPod touch is a revolutionary MP3 player but with the price tag of $200 to 400 USD, its a waste of money..

Not for enterprise IMO.. for now it stick to my BlackBerry 8800 as most of my co-workrs are not used to text speak emails and without qwerty keys it hard for me to type full words.
