Nokia E6 feedback anybody???

[Sivraj]

I'm looking forward to buying a white Nokia E6 to upgrade to my white E5. I don't know when I will buy it, but before I do I want to get some overall feedback positive and negative. I really like the touch and type style phone. What I want to know is how good is the phone such as battery life, web browsing, adobe flash support, and last but not least, is symbian belle great for the E6?? If I do get the E6 I think before I update to Belle I really want to play around with Anna to see how does the OS feel. I played with Symbian 3 with the Astound at a T-Mobile store a year in a half ago, now I wanna see what Anna and Belle is all about.

If I update to Belle can I go back to Anna if Belle is not worth the hype? Does button shortcuts work on Belle like it does for Anna? I have a lot of questions to ask but please just give me some feedback on the Nokia E6 positive or negative, or even the overall usage of Anna and Belle's performance. This is going to be my first touchscreen phone and I really would love to know from actual users.

Thank you!

Never used the E5 or E6, so I can't comment on that ...

however, the issue about Anna vs Belle - I am currently using the Nokia N8 on Nokia Belle, Belle increased overall performance management for Symbian, thus the issue of Anna vs Belle is moot. If you run Symbian, my recommendation would be Belle, hands down. On my N8, my memory NEVER drops below 48% (~ 123 mb FREE RAM) when idle & I have had NO memory issues since updating to Belle. When I used Anna, memory usually hovered around 100 mb FREE, sometimes dropping ~ 75 mb free!
I will say, I use Swiss Manager Pro (which kills latent background apps, user defined !) which helps w the overall performance - but, since Belle - I have had NO performance issues.

That sounds great and encouraging. How is the adobe flash support on youtube and other sites??

Belle killed the E6. All About Symbian listed all the problems it's caused:

No character counter displayed when composing a SMS
Flash videos won't play
No email notifications via the status pane, lock screen or the breathing light
Wi-fi drops out from time to time
No date on the status bar
No d-pad support on the homescreen
Over-size widgets mean that you can fit less on each homescreen
Always-on toolbar in Web means less usable browsing area

I honestly read this a few weeks ago. But I didn't really buy into it until I decide to really talk face to face with some of these E6 users. If I get the E6 I will contemplate about going with Belle.

Nokia E6 is a nice qwerty keypad phone including 2.46 inch touchscreen with 640 x 480 resolution. Its touchscreen and qwerty keypad interface are most impressive for me. E6 has its own web browser Ovi that provide best Internet speed and it also running on 3.5G. But it does not support automatic installation on this device.

Anybody have a clue on how long does the battery last on a normal usage??
