The Nokia E71 Smart Phone, Finally My Perfect Mobile Gadget?

I have bought so many Gadgets and Gizmos in my time all have ultimately disappointed me. An early Psion which of course had no connectivity. An early laptop with no hard-drive just floppies, then another with a hard disk. But I got fed up of transporting these around along with the box full of cables, spare batteries, power cable. I then bought the first Notebook PC which cost a fortune, but battery life was miserable. Then I bought an expensive Nokia Navigator about the size of a glasses case, connectivity was still poor and I never really got on with it.

My latest toy though the Nokia E71 Smart Phone seems to have it all, compact, Internet, Wi-Fi, email, camera, music, radio but very importantly for me "Easy Note Taking Ability" . This is because it has a Qwerty keyboard. this is the great difference with iPhone which concentrates on providing as much screen as possible and making everything touch control which is great for browsing.

So while sitting in a waiting room, or my favorite cafe I can now write to do lists, write bullet points for a presentation, write draft reports etc, and all that with the minimum of fuss a few clicks and I can start. I can then transfer my notes via the memory card, or by preference email.
