Soon to be mine. It's got most of the features of the iPhone, but without that massive storage space, But hey, it has video conferencing!
I got this in July of last year at the Nokia flagship store in NYC. Not really happy that I spent $480 when I could have gotten it online for like $400

I think it's time to replace it as it's already more than 6 months old. I thinking I might get the N97, but I need US 3G.
What? Its such a solid phone that only the BB Bold comes close to its possible features - funny that this supports both UMA/PBX on WLAN while the Bold doesn't support UMA natively in the OS - yet all the other features (including support for push email) works in almost 1/8th the size of the Bold.
This phone - E71 - is a solid phone for the price even at $480 Retail Unlocked vs the Bold's $649 (not from those that got it free on contract and selling it).
N97 will feature Triband 3G. Initial release bands support 900/1900/2100Mhz 3.5G. If you're provider in the USA supports 3G on 1900Mhz then you're good to go - TMobile users are SOL as the Euro 2100Mhz is not compatible with TMo USA's AWS 2100Mhz band.
So, Alphaod - you COULD get the N97 when its available for purchase or await the 2nd NAM version supporting 850/1900/2100Mhz - and yes its on the official developer site stating both sets of 3G bands. However its still 3months away at least - unless Nokia bumps up the timeline.
I has a iPhone 3G White (16GB)
I love the phone and I dont understand why so many people here are hating on the thing? I understand that its lack of customization and simple things like MMS, Copy and Paste and video record is a downer, but the phone is by far the best OS I've used, and the touch screen is brilliant. I've owned Sony Ericsson P900/P910i , Nokia Navigator, BlackBerry Pearl and those things drove me insane!

I have an original iPhone with 16 gigs.
I've been considering switching from my iPhone 2G 16gb to a Blackberry Bold for the features (which are standard on...cell phones in general, haha). It's a sexy phone.

Camera is so-so in low light; a lot worse than the E90 and the N95 I had before; of course both also cost a lot more. It's okay for casual use.
As for the interface, I tried it with encryption on; phone was unresponsive a lot. Now I just leave encryption off and the phone flies. I love the interface; of course I've been using S60 for a long time, so I'm used to it.
I don't use the switcher thingy because I don't need a work and personal profile.
By no means am I complaining about what this phone is deficient in any way. For a short while replaced my phones every 3-4 months, so that was suppose to be a joke.
I'm buying it whenever it comes out with US capable 3G. I travel to China which doesn't have 3G so US 3G is all that really matters to me. Of course if the upcoming iPhone is nice, I might consider it, but unlocked is what I go for—I hate contracts.

I should be getting it today
I have the silver version of that phone.
Really poor quality, IMO.
The face up screen cracked on mine, even though I dropped it face up.
You may want to reconsider that.
2H 2009! Based on upcoming Symbian Foundation Open-Source OS!
12.1MP Camera - AutoFocus, Smile Detection, etc.
SE Idou!

Still very prototype, the name "Idou" not official just internal - SE is heavily emphasing this for some reason. This doesn't have a codename yet but will fall under the Entertainment Unlimited marketing focus like the W995a which is not a smartphone but impresses me just the same [aGPS, WLAN, UPnP, 8.1MP camera same software features, 3.5G for USA too - but feature phone]

Bonus: No branding > increases resale value! $$. (physical branding not firmware branding which is easy to remove).
i think its on the back.. at least my storm as the verizon logo 'etched' in on the back on the battery cover
Could be removable with some scotch tape and a sugar cube. But I'm a bit confused as to what you mean by etched.
It's a metal back?
Yeah, outta luck.
You can probably order a spare metal back from eBay or a cellphone parts website, though! Might be worth it to raise the value of the phone!
No sugar cube on the metal - scratch paint maybe damage the metal; so you're right.
For all your cellphone part needs

Seriously though parts are cheap and if you youtube their channel some guides on how to part down your phone to replace parts is pretty neat to watch.
