How Are the E62s Holding Up?

I've been considering an E62. I've read that some folks have had joystick failures on their E61s - anyone have any problems on their E62?

I'm also concerned that this phone will be replaced rather quickly with an updated model.

Thanks.
 
Mine's working fine. And yes any cool phone will be replaced by a cooler phone in less than 3-6 months. You gotta look at your wallet and decide what you can afford. I bought the E-62 hoping it will be a long termer, at least 18-24 months.

I've unbranded my E62, though (http://symbianguru.typepad.com/welcome/2006/12/finally_a_java_.html) and it works great. Love it. it's slightly larger than say the blackjack, but it's freakin beautiful for data/browsing.
 
I've only had it for about 2 months and I love it. I like S60 3rd ed. MUCH more than winmo. I hope I don't have to go back. IMHO the keybord is the best out there. I tested the web browser on the e62 (cingular gprs) vs the treo 700wx (sprint evdo) side by side and my e62 beat the treo out by about 20-30 seconds on a page load of abcnews.com (not sure how that happened but was happy when I saw that). I do get the white screen due to lack of operating RAM but that doesn't happen more than once every 10 days or so (it wouldn't happen at all if I turned my phone off every day. There may be a slight memory leak somewhere). Finally and probably most importantly, call quality and battery life are also probably best among smart phones.

Take what I say with a grain of salt though...I am a slight Nokia fanboy.
 
i bought mine the day after they came out on cingular.com and i havent had any problems so far, i recently unbranded it. i rarely get the white screen, i just make sure that i exit a program when im done with it.
