I'm currently using a MotoRokr E6, and my experience has been very good. The phone almost never hangs, has a good feature set (but lacks EDGE capability), and is not expected to catch a virus. It has an Opera min-browser, viewer for common document formats, pdf and images, image editor, Realplayer, reads standard SD cards up to 2GB. I use it as an ebook reader at times. Battery is OK. It was one of the first to offer a standard headset jack, and a mini USB slot for charging as well as access. It has a very few niggles, the major one being a tiny qwerty on-screen keyboard for typing messages - there is an alternative ABCD progression keyboard for searching names etc., but surprisingly it is not available for messaging. This being a touchscreen-only phone, not recommended if you like to use it while driving. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
