I’ve been lusting after the E70 for a long long time. Everyone knows, it’s definitely not a secret. I’ve got this thing I’m working on and it just needs a real keyboard on a device capable of getting SMS style messages and the occasional blip of high bandwidth activity. E70 seemed perfect for that, but the US version is still nowhere to be found.

I considered the E61, but it wasn’t as compelling for me. Then Russ went and got one and started spouting off about it. And spouting and spouting, and just literally gushing over how cool it was. So I went over to check it out. And it has a nice browser, and SSH via Putty on the thing rocks, and Agile works, and the calendar kicks some ass, and 2gig MiniSD cards are only $80. The final nail in the coffin, it’s available right now from Amazon. 30% off. Madness!!! Mine arrives on Friday damnit.
