Most button pushing bloggers don't review it thouroughly.

Q to Mr Ericsson:

-did they screw up with the autofocus? (no autofocus for doc scans as in the "business" phone E7)

-any other wth did Nokia leave this basic functionality out after so many years? (share photo via service for example)

-how is browsing (real websites): how many open browser windows before it hangs? Any way to block adds and malicious scripts to speed up browsing?

-how big is the relief when you return to the N900?
There's a lot of reviews out there now. In a nutshell the E6 is in every way like a blend of a swiss army knife and a swiss watch.

It has EDoF. No macro. Anna rox, the best symbian ever. Same functionality and power as before, only faster and smoother. The default browser is OK nothing more, but the new Opera for Anna is excellent, probably the best browser ever produced on any device. I only use Opera. Pics can be sent to any service you have configured, havent tried it yet though. Multitasking is at least as good as the N900.

I havent missed the N900 a single minute, not yet. The keyboard on the E6 is better, it got a dpad, pinch to zoom, much better browser (Opera, the default one needs further improvements). The phone functionality is light years ahead of the N900. It is generally faster and more snappy than the N900. Besides, I get more than enough of linux trying to get that slow whale of an os called MeeGo running on the N900 in anything but snail speed.

In short the E6 rox, it really does.
