Gmail has opened up IMAP access (maybe it has been open for a while and I
just found out). Works flawlessly on the E61. This means I don't need to
use the gmail app for symbian. The nice part is that sent mail gets stored
in the imap sent folder, saving the need to bcc yourself and do gymnastics
later.

In general, I find the default mail client very usable. IMAP IDLE works
like a charm for me and mail is delivered to my phone almost instantly, and
unless I move out of coverage for an extended period of time, have never
had to manually connect.
Beats the heck out of using a blackberry connect, with its silly 15 minute
polling interval.

Seen it - but instead of that or an iphone I picked up a nokia e61 today ..
almost as good as a treo or blackberry, slightly larger keyboard and all
the nokia shortcuts I am accustomed to. Add symbian versions of opera and
lonelycat profimail to replace the default browser and email client and I
should have a very usable phone indeed, if not one that is as sexy as an
iphone.
