But for one bizarre restart and one incident where an attempt to transfer music with the Nokia Music Manager for Mac locked up the Powerbook (had to force a shut-down), the little gadget (my Nokia N80) is working rather nicely. Haven't tried to use it with the Powerbook for internet access as my Triatel connection has reappeared from the dead.
What I am really waiting for is a Skype for Symbian app that I can download for the N80, then use it in WiFi mode to make Skype and Skype-out calls. As I understand it, there is one hack for Skype on Symbian that supposedly works in a bizarre push-to-talk mode. I would prefer to log into a nice app with all my Skype and Skype out contacts and just call them as I do from my other computers (the N80 is, after all, a computer disguised as a phone and hiding a 3 megapixel camera). Speaking of the camera, I have included a shot from it (angle toward the shed of my summer place, reclining in a swing sofa).

I was under the impression that Nokia was about to abandon Symbian OS for their phones. And ugh, somehow I think Nokia is... well, yesterday. Sure, they have been cramming the latest&greatest into their phones, but as for design - they just can't come up with anything cool anymore.

There is a review of Nokia E61 (Symbian v9 too) by the latvian.
Thanks Tokra :),
Unfortunately, I don't read Russian. My idiomatic (not idiotic, please :) :) ) English should give that away. There is also an English language mobile phone review site written by some Russians, but I have forgotten the address. Their English is very good, what gives them away is that they refer to the performance of the phones on some Russian networks (Megafon, etc.)
You can see the original version of this review here: TokRa.Lv/E61.doc
Unfortunately, its text has been a little bit censored.
