Hi Eleanor. Now there's a question. For me, the N86 is like a reliable car that never or hardly breaks down and can do all the basic functions. The E6 is to me like a suped up model that can do all the older cars can do but with a lot of added extras and a lot faster.
Now let me put it in a different way if that's alright. My Nokia N86 is a reliable phone and accept for having to replace the battery yesterday, has never broken down in the couple of years I've had it. It does all that it says on the tin: Makes and receives Calls, Sends emails, navigates the web, takes pictures ETC. Now sending texts for me are really fast on the N86 becausew of it's usual phone keypad. However, I felt it was time to move onwards and upwards to using touchscreen technology as I like to keep up with what's around and don't like being left behind. So, I tried various other phones, some Nokia and others not. I tried the Nokia E7 but couldn't get on with it's shape or the slide out Qwerty keyboard. I tried the Nokia N8 but found my ttexting was extremely eratic and took me too long. So, when I found out about the E6, I was very excited. For me the E6 is a combination of the N86 and Touch Screen technology. The phone as you know has a navigation key which is just like the N86 as well as buttons to send and answer calls as well as other functions. Also, I find the web access on the E6 much better and sites such as youtube work really well playing music and downloading podcasts. This I just can't do on my N86. So, now I am in a bit of a quandary. Do I go back to my Old Faithful Reliable N86 and text fast but do without the latest technology, or, do I bite the bullet and stick to my E6 which I really like but on which my texting is slower. For the moment I'm going to stay with the E6. Any help?
