I'm on the other spectrum here. I don't need the BES for my personal email, contacts, web site links, notes, calendar; the basics. Unless my new job requires me, again, to have a BlackBerry, then as a personal device the E71 will be more suited to my needs/usage. However the Bold is capable of doing anything the E71 can do as well So I'm in a rock-&-a-hard-place.
For now, the E71 has much more consumer applications that I can use. I like to get work done, but I also like to have fun doing it, or in between.
Curiousity has begged me to ask this question. Does the S60 phones sync (via PC Suite) MS Outlook Notes FULLY or is the maximum length of any note limited? I cannot carry my MS Outlook Notes on my K850i so i need to know this. The BlackBerry's can and I loved this.
