K so I searched around and didnt find much so here I go.

Im looking for a phone (Symbian or WinMob) that can help me stay productive on the go, and reduce the need to lug around a heavy laptop.

The features I need are:
- Wi-Fi
- Camera of decent quality
- QWERTY keyboard
- Office viewer (and maybe a MS word editor once in a while)
- good internet browser

I dont care much, nor do I have any use for 3G.

Also, Email features like Blackberry connect, etc. arent really a concern for me at this time.

In addition to productivity, I need a phone that isnt too large and is practical for everyday basic usage.

I personally have narrowed it down to:
- Nokia E61i
- HTC S710
- HTC S620
So if you can help me with my selection or recommend something that you feel is better, id greatly appreciate it.

Keeping in mind that my budget is roughly $500 CAD (around the price range of thoese 3 phones).

Thanks alot in advance
I will keep checking and your response is greatly appreciated.
 
nice, nice, thanks for the recommendations

I just have a couple more questions:
1. Is wm6 that much better than wm5?
2. I have been a S60 user for almost 3 years now and I have no complaints, will I generally enjoy the move to wm5or6? I hear some things about regular freezes and general disadvantages.
 
It may actually take some time in getting used to.

The Nokia e61i would be my preference since you are already comfortable with Nokia. Also the RF is always awesome on Nokias.


I was thinking about getting the Dash (s620,) but after holding it, I realized it's too thin. It felt uncomfortable holding it.
 
yea I feel that the E61i is the best feature wise. And I would loveto stay with S60.

I actually feel that the S620's size is its strength. However that strength is also its weakness because the keyboard is so small, especailly for my big thumbs. It does take some getting used to but it doesnt change the fact that its cramped and annoying at times.
 
sorry for the double post but

Another important thing I shouldve mentioned is that I want a phone that is....maintenance free. Like, I hear with wm5, there are occasional freezes, or some registry edits required to get things to run better. Is this true?

Because I personally have had 0 problems with S60
