Teenagers usually want multimedia stuff on it too. So E-Series is maybe not a good choice. And relatively -in general- too expensive for the target market segment.
Nokia E71 is a very succesful phone though, partly because of its slick keyboard. There are succesors of E71 too, such as E63.

Hate to steer away from Nokia here, but what his teenage son probably wants is a Sidekick

It is cheaper. This is classic top-down marketing reaction to popularity of E71 in segments.
One thing I do remember being better of E63 is the keyboard.

I hate answering this question but its really in this order (spoken as a reviewer and only in terms of the feel of the keyboard - not the OS, 3rd party software, etc.):
- Blackberry Curve
- Blackberry 8900
- any Palm Treo
- Nokia E71/E63
- Samsung QWERTYs (really, they are all the same)
- pretty much anything else (because really, they are horrible unless I've named 'em)

I'm a teenager, I'm fine on my N95 8GB (actually I LOVE it!). But if I was a (regular in terms of cell phone choices) teenager I would get a BlackBerry Curve or some other Blacbkberry for BBM.
Nokia N810 and Nokia N95 8GB - the perfect combination!
