So far so good. Nothing wrong with the Blackberry, just wanted to try something new. The Nokia does not run as fluid as the Blackberry with respect to everyday tasks, SMS, eMail, etc... but as when switching to any new device I think it is a matter of acclimation. The Nokia E61 is beautiful, sleek, feels solidly built and I have not experienced any of the "sluggishness" issues I have read about online. It's no speed demon, but it hasn't got me upset yet. It's screen seems much bigger than the 8800's at 3" diagonal measurements... the keypad is squishy and difficult to type. Typing on the 8800 is a real breeze in comparison.

The main difference...

WIFI! Works flawlessly and browsing with Nokia's browser is leaps and bounds beyond any phone browser I have ever used. I am SOLD on the browser. Just youtube "e61 browser" or "nokia e61" and watch a video to see what I mean! Who knows what my next phone will be -- probably blackberry when they come out with some more edgier stuff.

I'm not impressed, the videos on youtube looked slow even on wifi, if you want the best browser with wifi then you know where to go.

That's fantastic. I'm glad you're happy. Not sure why you traded for an older device though.

I checked out the Nokia E61i! Felt like a brick, and I felt it to be a little wide. However the build quality was there, but I would not trade my BB for it. If your in search of a device with a great browser, look no further then the iphone.

I'll look to the iPhone when its unlocked and priced at least 25% below what it is now. Not worth it for a phone that doesn't have a tactile keyboard.

I also got cash w/ the trade. I'm happy. It's something different. I like big screens. 8800 felt all phone and no screen.
