Hate to disappoint you, but your E61i had exactly the same web browser as E70, except the keyboard of course. So, by your definition, E61i is not supposed to have "internet capabilities" either. As to your devices "costing less" with the AT&T or TMobile contract, that is actually not true. I am too lazy to explain why, but ask around and other people will tell you.

3) whether or not Nokia has released a better phone, other companies have. And, more importantly, since then I realized that I wanted more than just a voice+sms device. I don't want to carry two pocketables.
Actually, I still have to see a better phone from any company. Have not played with G1 extensively enough, so you may have a point there, although I normally hate javaphones.
