The 6233 would be no good for you as it only holds 500 contacts.

Why s60 and not s40?

No. AFAIK, it holds 1,000 contacts with about 7 or 8 fields for different types of data. It uses s40 the latest version which was updated to 1,000 contacts. That is generally more than adequate, since if I do a bit of housekeeping, I may weed out a hundred or so contacts, leaving enough room for addition of more during the year.
I am not too sure about the search - whether it is only on first name or either like s60.
I am also reasonably sure Nokia will get around to improving the firmware in a couple of more revisions, which will help with my e50.

How does one accumulate over 1000 contacts?
Of course, I do not use most of them. My work involves different assignments with different sets of people, since I sort of freelance. These assignments can take some time to complete and can have 5-8 contacts per assignment. So my contacts just tend to multiply. There can be repeat assignments or some issue may crop up, even after a couple of years. It is then that having that contact already in the phone helps.

Hmmm... so I should not regret so much my e50? A step backwards from Nokia, 1,000 to 500. Just shows I should do quite a bit of research before making purchase decision. 7610 failed and was in a hurry. And e50 was quite reasonably priced... Let me check out upcoming 6300 prospect more carefully.

If the 6300 doesn't support 1000+ contacts, you're going to be with s60 either way. When you finish cleaning out your contacts so that you have less than 500, that'll be enough for the E50 to handle without becoming too laggy.

Exactly. I have only about 500 contacts in my phone, but that accumulated from just one year of similar type of work. And I have been trying to leave some numbers out if I feel fairly certain they wont be of use.
And yes they sure come in handy - you just dont know where and when but you gotta have them ready.
Nokia is missing a huge advantage in not properly supporting business type of users. Not ony should these phones have been built to handle large contact databases, but also Nokia should support synchronisation of Outlook categories and syncing with MS OneNote, both of which are not only absent but seem unlikely to happen on S60.
Its a crying shame considering we are talking about Nokia here - company who made the legendary 6310, the ultimate business phone of its time.

Lucky you. I do have other financial commitments.
Somehow I do not think so.
Look at the number of posts here regarding n73, bricking during firmware updates, etc. I should not have to bother with all this at all. I spent the better part of a day trying to get my memory card working after a firmware update. (I found that if you put a remote lock on s60v3, it hard locks the memory card also and no card reader or anything helped. After much searching I found that the card password is the same as the remote lock code. And nowhere does nokia warn you or even help). s40 on any phone from the 6610 to the 6233 has run just fine. So I feel very hesitant buying a newly released s60 phone. And the 7610 still had 6 month old firmware on it.
I do not think so. Maybe a couple of points I made were related specifically to the e50. The reason I went for 7610/s60 was that at the time s40 could not handle such a large number and s60 contacts book was the best (and perhaps still is in terms of other features).
I am just using contacts as an example. Most other stuff also runs still much slower/laggy on s60 than on an s40.
Again my point was that for the use of a phone as a phone, the new s40 today is still way way faster, smoother and stable than comparable phones in the nseries priced 3 times as much. While of course I do not need all my 900 contacts, I am sure I can do some housekeeping and the 6233 would handle 700-800 contacts much faster/better than the e50/nseries s60.
After 2-3 years, one would have thought that Nokia would have got s60 working very fast for normal phone tasks, but unfortunately this is simply not so and looking at where they are concentrating - music, etc. - I doubt that they are anywhere near doing so. The e50 (and other s60 phones) with a faster CPU, more memory is actually more inefficient than the 7610 for a basic phone app.
