I live in the USA and here (I admit) technology comes a little bit late 
Anyways, I was reading TIME on October 2nd, 2006 and as soon as I opened the magazine an ad of the Nokia E62 was in my sight. I was amazed. I didn’t expect such advertisement of it, I though that it would be as always, a phone from Nokia that is popular everywhere but the US. Not this time! 
Cingular and Nokia had an ad four pages big (2 pages and 2 filpout pages). And I hope all those mobile professionals reading TIME in airplanes, airports, etc. at least thought about getting an awesome smartphone like this which could make their life easier (well, more enjoyable in the least), and yes the E61/E62 is a smartphone. Thumbs up for Cingular and Nokia from me!

You are right .. it is great news. I own E61 with Cingular service. I recently did a boast-out with a coleague of mine who bought RIM’s 8700. Two things I lost on…
1. Speed of Java programs on 8700 (at least twice as fast – Google Maps)
2. Speaker Phone (much louder than mine)
Things I won on that I use a lot…
1. Music Player
2. Wi-Fi
3. Freewares
4. Customizability
However,… I am very disappointed on the two things I lost on… the difference was huge
