LTE This trend is catching up. Mobile Phone manufacturers do not want to rely on Chip vendors and develop their own chipsets.
Another good example is Samsung with their WiMAX chipsets. They have worked with more than one vendor (maybe as an interim solution), but finally launched their own chipset.
Link to Ars Technica, which is much better than this one, since I’d rather see beautiful women holding chips than some guys (which look very smart and talented).

Business,
Mobile I love the phone. Never had a blackberry, so I can’t compare, but the Nokia E71 rocks.
OSNews have finally reviewed the Nokia E71.
Quote from the Conclusion (who bothers reading the entire review?):
Nokia’s E71 is a great phone, but not for the users it was originally aimed at. As a business phone, the less-than-stellar Exchange support, as well as the missing BlackBerry support, will limit the phone’s use. However, as a normal phone “for the rest of us”, the excellent keyboard, sturdy design, and easy-to-use interface enables it to be a fine mobile phone.
Do you hate touch screens, like I do? Do you hate one person controlling what you can and can’t do with your phone, like I do? Would you still like a smartphone? The E71 is a decent choice.
