Interesting to see the Nokia E61 pop up (initially in very positive context) amidst these discussions about what's wrong with Palm, a competitor (mainly) in the USA. Also interesting to note that while Nokia have started making waves in America, Palm have just announced a Treo 700w variant for the UK.

"Who would want the 700w? It's bulky, overweight, lacks WiFi, and has a small square screen. And that has nothing to do with WM, the 700p is just as bad. This entire issue is a touchstone for Palm's problem right now; it's entire revenue model is centered around a one trick pony that is losing its competitive edge and fast. The Treo is no longer a competitive product. There are simply too many better options out there, sporting more compelling features, better designs, and at lower price points; the Motorola Q and Nokia E61 being two very good examples. I have the E61 and can tell you first hand it mops the floor with both Treo 700 models: larger screen (in widescreen format no less), integrated WiFi, superb phone functionality, multitasking OS (sorry Garnet), thin/light form factor, superior keyboard, and lower price tag (I purchased mine for around $350, brand new).
