Nokia officially launches US-friendly E70 - Engadget Mobile
Since Nokia released the 6682 back in 2004, it's been my phone of choice. There's many a photo of me with this phone in my hand. Every 6682 I've owned is polished from spending hours in my hand.
While I've managed to break a 'couple, it's from living a very hard life. I carry my phone 24x7. It goes skiing. It goes fishing. Hunting. Drinking. To parties. In the mosh pit. It gets drinks spilled on it. It gets sweaty. Steamed up. Frozen. I drop it at least daily, if not more. I've thrown it at people. It keeps working...for the most part.
The 6682 is a text messaging machine. It's the most important piece of tech I own. It's how I stay in touch with most of my close relationships. I send more text messages a day than email. 160 characters. Short, sweet, and to the point.
And now the E70 has arrived in the US. 
The new Nokia E70 is perhaps the most anticipated piece of tech for 2006 for me. I saw it at CES in January in Las Vegas and have been dying for it to arrive.
It's been officially released. I have one on order. (My last 6682 has a sticky #5.) I'll let y'all know what I think.

It amazes me how much these phones cost without the subsidy the carriers provide. Engadget is reporting that this phone will be a stiff $450. Ouch!
