Yes, I have an S40 phone, though mine was a bit more than 40EUR. Can't wait for the N900 so I can get rid of it.

Seriously, while my phone likes to think it can handle my gmail (both with a built-in mail client, and through the browser), it does a very poor job; but that's to be expected, as I selected a phone for two roles: tethering an N800, and making phone calls. And given my monthly call volume, it'd be almost as accurate to say I don't have a phone, I have a BT/GSM modem shaped like a phone.

If I wanted to check email on a phone, I'd have gotten a smartphone that could do it properly. I see no sense tolerating the insanely limited capabilities to save toting (how much is it?) a half pound of tablet, and I see no sense buying a more expensive smartphone just so it can do competently what my tablets already do better.


As for one-thumb mobile use, an N810 in portrait mode nearly accomplishes that. inconvenienced only by the hidden d-pad.. It probably would be hard to use while jogging (per geneven's original quote), but neither walking nor cycling poses any problem. (Although I curtail its use while actually underway, that's just to keep two hands on the bars; the interface is fine, and when I need to check maps or want to adjust music, I can and do use it thus.)
