Phone Phasination: Nokia E66 aka My dream phone

Yes, I know, I spelled it phasination...

but one thing I'd like to share is my fascination with cellular devices...

This time around, the phone of the moment, and one of my  is the nokia E66

To some, it looks like a regular slider phone, until you take a look under the hood

So what might you like about this phone? Is it the wifi connectivity? An auto rotate accelerator that adjust the screen when you rotate it sideways? Or the 3.15 megapixel camera that delivers stunning pictures on an internal storage of 110 MB? Or is it that it also has a built in GPS receiver? Or that you can view and edit you Word, Powerpoint and Excel files, and even view PDF files...? hmm....

I don't know what it is about Nokia,  but they know how to do their phones right. Though they have a much more major market in Europe, and the rest of the world, I can only wonder why this best kept secret is not in everyone's pocket.
