    What are the advantages considering, wi-fi is not available everywhere.

    Eh, the advantage being that you can use wifi where there is wifi? I have an e62, which has wifi, a bit old at this stage, but i would never go back to a phone that doesn't have it.

    i always thought the e62 was the special version of the e61 *without* wifi

    your probably thinking of the e63, which is nice. The e75 is candybar with a slide out qwerty keyboard.

    I have been using the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic intensively for about a week now and I have to say that I am highly impressed with the WiFi on it. I have had no problems detecting networks, connecting to networks etc... It handles WPA security without a bother and already I am sure that I will never go back to a phone without WiFi from this point onwards...

    I know this thread is about the WiFi feature but the price was great too. I am on Vodafone Perfect Fit 400 and the phone was €70.00 and there are a huge range of accessories with it. The next available phone with WiFi was €209.00 so that is quite a price difference...

    I never thought I would see the day when I would be downloading sometheing on my mobile phone at over 700kb/sec :eek:. Happy days...

    Thats it. I hadn't seen the red one. The screen is good and the build quality seems very good.

    Get the nokia N95-1 (silver one). Very cheap for such a power-house. Has GPS also.

    Its €150 on perfect choice 100

    Heres a link

    What do people think of the E65

    Used a friends E65 for a while. Nice phone with great features, but found it sluggish at times, freezing etc. May not be on all of them, but his one was certainly affected by it.

    My 2 cents ... E71 ftw. I love mine. I rarely turn on the laptop at home now for checking the internet. Just use the wifi on the E71.
    Navigation and typing on the qwerty pad is a delight. (And to think I nearly bought a Storm)......by the way.......don't buy a storm.:D
