Guys Im about to buy this E6 Vanilla version. Though its been quite a while its released; it still rocks.
These are the PROS I can see of this phone;
1. Touchscreen Multimedia (PDA?) Phone at an affordable price.
2. Many features to boast of.
3. Fair enough music.
4. Moddable to an extent.
The CONS that I see.
1. Buggy problems come now and then.
2. Battery drains a bit quick.
3. Earpiece quality while talking is muffled. (Correct me if I am wrong.)
4. The paintwork wears off soon.
And there is one more thing that I cannot put in any category.
People say that as the phone is Linux/Java; so its great. Yes, I use Linux in my desktop. But I fail to see WHAT GOOD HAS LINUX DONE TO THIS PHONE?
I mean symbian has a hell lotta more apps at a competent price. Windows Mobile rules the high end scenario. But I fail to see many apps for this phone. JAVA apps will work of course. But as this phone is part linux; I expected bigger apps like OpenOffice.org, GIMP, (lighter versions of course
) etc to work on it. WHICH IS NOT THE CASE!!! So guys this is a mixed bag. I also heard that Motorola, though licencing it under GPL; havent given out the source code, is it true?
I need an EXPERIENCED reply on this one, guys.
