Beverly Center in Los Angeles has N91, E61, and E70 available to play with.

Nokia has a pretty big Experience Center located in the Beverly Center in Los Angeles. I would have to say 50 - 60 phones all working (in offline mode). They also have bluetooth photo printers that are free to use. The main reason I went was for the new phones they have in there now. N91, E70, and E61. I had hoped to bluetooth over a benchmark program to find out how much ram and cpu power they have.

The N91 was completely frozen. Had a kern error in some policy program. I couldnt get it to reboot and the nokia guy said that only his manager could. Number keys were tiny and reminded me of a cheap calculator

The E61 was also frozen. Tons of idiots go in and out of that store mashing on the buttons so I wasn't surprised, though it still sucked. Way lighter than it looks.

The E70 was working though. Connected via bluetooth and sent the benchmark over. It was spmark04 in .sis form. It received it but couldnt do anything with the file. stated that it was an unsupported file. Really nice keyboard on it though. I don't care for the style of phone at all but I was really blown away with how nice the keyboard was.

All in all the trip was a bit of a waste due to the state of the main phones. I'll try again a little later though. Maybe I'll have better luck that time.
 
On the n91. how small were the main keys (number keys) There have been varying reports between n70ish to grains of rice. Pretty cool that you got a good look in, keep us updated!
 
I have been there. I wish that they actually sold stuff through there. The guy that was working there was suprised to see that I was using an N90. He asked me where I got it and how much I paid. He was stunned with the answer. I played with the e61. I like it. Great BB alternative.
 
Is that true? Is Symbian really breaking the compatibility from v6 to v8 with v9?
If so, the N91 isn't that appealing as a smartphone.
 
I didn't realize nokia had stores in CA, I just went to the beverly center store and was surprised, the websites shows locations in San Diego and Calabassas but I heard there may be one in Century City, can anybody confirm or deny?
