Let's be fair to the E61i. It does quite a few things better than the RIM devices and at the same time it lacks a few features. To answer Marek's question above:

- You do not want to use the blackberry.net APN because the web pages come out looking terrible. On the E61i you can go over a 3G or Wifi and have desktop like web pages on your handheld. It is not an iPhone but head and shoulders above Blackberry.

- Blackberry's always open attachments in a viewer, i.e. it does not transfer the whole file, neither on the RIM device nor on the Nokia. If you want to edit the file natively on the E61i then you need to use a Gmail (fast and easy). On the blackberry you cannot edit files at all, so do not even mention it. For example, many people switch from the to do application to an excel based To Do list. You can edit and sort this on the E61 in a similar way to the desktop. On the Berry you cannot.

- If you use your E61 in 3G mode you get simultaneous voice and data connections. As another poster said, you can talk on the phone, play music to the caller, surf the web, etc. all at once.

- The blackberry can send pictures but they look like crap. On the Nokia you can send a picture or any file (zipped is best) via mms to any email address (or phone). It sends the full picture/file with downgrading the quality. Yes, it does take an extra step though.

- You are right about the To Do list - that seems to be a Notes issue though.

Just learn how to use the E61 leveraging its features. Do not try to replicate what you did on the Berry on the Nokia... you would not be happy. Many people in the office who switched back to Blackberry came back to the Nokia.
