I used it primarily with BlackBerry Connect but have also been experimenting with its many other very solid features. Get one, you will NOT be disappointed. http://www.e-series.org</p> OM, I have used the Nokia E61 for about two months now and love it.

I will continue. …always on for Blackberry connnect. When you have an incoming or outgoing call the Blackberry conncet packet data is placed on hold. At the end of the call it must intiate the GPRS pathway again. The problem is that quite frequently (50% of the time) it could not engage the BB conncet and I needed to reboot. Also settings on e61 are so layered, so deep, so fragmented that its hard to know where to go to change any settings. Lock and unlock on the device is also cumbersome and could be easier. On the plus side the phone is crystal clear and holds that signal. The browser is fun, new exciting to use. Good calendar as well. If you rely on Blackberry Internet Service and use the BB connect you may find it too unreliable for your messaging needs and resort back to the BB.</p> Sorry about the post error.

I've been thinking about picking one up on eBay for use here in the States to replace my Treo 650. How's it working with your MacBook Pro?</p> Would love to hear more about the E61.
