Morning,
Apologies if this is in the wrong forums, please could one of the mods move it if it is.
This is my first post here and a bit of a Symbian novice and therefore grateful for any advice and/or pointers.
Last year I had a 6120 Classic which I really liked. Unfortunately I went swimming with it and it�s not been the same since!
I�ve recently upgraded my mobile contract and now have unlimited web browsing. I�d really like to take advantage of this and would like a phone with a reasonable size screen for browsing and email that has a full QWERTY keyboard (preferably slide out but not essential).
I would like to stick to a Symbian S60 device, if possible, as I really liked the S60 on 6120 Classic and the software and support that are available.
The downside to all this is I have a budget of about �150 (�200 absolute, right on the wire max) for it.
What would be your recommendations?
Is it possible to get an older model phone and upgrade the O/S to the latest version (if required)?
Thanks in advance�

Google the E63...donno if its released or coming soon but the price is very acceptable considering the features.
QWERTY with business software "Eseries" and 3.5mm headset...but the downside is: its plasticy...but if u r upgrading from 6120 then i think u r adapted to plastic phones and this dont make any difference for u...and sadly NO GPS.
You beat me to it: the E63 looks to be similar to the E71 but loses the GPS, high speed web access (still 3G mind you) and you have a lower stated specification camera rather than the E71's camera. It's also not as thin either.
I've just bought my E71 on a T-Mobile contract rather than wait for the E63. I'm happy with it, but the E63 has the features I need as 'phone cameras, meh not as good as the real thing and GPS, not useful.
Both the E63 and E71 have WiFi; probably more useful on the E63 as it doesn't have high speed 3G access...
You might want to consider an E61i. It's slower than the E71 and it doesn't have a GPS but its pretty good otherwise and VERY cheap on Ebay now.
Thanks very much for your replies.
I will definately look into the E63 and E61i and see what suits me the best.
Cheers...
