For me, I don't really care what it looks like, so that's not a big deal. My shoes are cool; my phone doesn't need to be :-) > I bought my N95 at > tigerdirect.ca and like it except for need for external > keyboard and battery life but I do: The keyboard is important to me, and so is battery life.

The N71 has that (although it seems to be a bit of a pain to set up). > It does not last a day in this mode so prepare yourself for > another power adapter if you'll lave similar usage patterns ... Again, the N71 has a large battery and is supposed to be better than most in this regard, but yeah, I know the days of getting a week out of a charge are behind me. > I can not comment on 3G - still want to find a time to > convince Fido to sell me 6G Data for 30$ but there is a > setting for "Allow SIP Over WCDMA" somewhere ... > ... and camera is great :-) I have several cameras, including a DSLR. I suppose being able to take pics from a mobile is neat (I know Ovidu has a stunning camera in his cell phone), but to me this just isn't a strong selling feature. I appreciate your perspective. I have to admit that N95 does look pretty cool, but I think the E71 is gong to suit my needs better. Thanks for the post.
