Conclusion
Nokia may have built the most versatile WiFi-enabled smartphone on the market today in the E70. While
Blackberry users could rightly argue that their handsets are better when it comes to Email and Treo loyalists might tout the touch screen interface on their devices, none of them do so many things as well as the E70. It should be mentioned that I say that not yet having tried the Blackberry "
Pearl" 8100.
A combination of hardware, software, and design makes the E70 shine. The hi-res screen and WLAN support are exploited by the brilliance of the Web browser and the flexible power of the Symbian 9.1 OS. And the design of the device, with its unique fold-out QWERTY board, makes it all imminently usable.
The E70 is not for everyone. It's a lot of phone, both literally and figuratively, and if you don't need most of what the E70 does you might not appreciate its extra bulk and steep learning curve. But if you want your office in your pocket with WiFI, Blackberry, and VoIP support, the E70 is well worth a test drive
