    About the menu key to switch apps - I've seen this feature in all Nokia Symbian phones.

    not that fast compared to certain other Nokia phones i've used..plus..the multitaking thing with the menu button was there in most nokia phones since the iconic 6600. Hence it is nothing to brag about

    I like the %u0161hone very much except one negative side:

    The good: Like the design Has lot's of funckions like wifi, gps etc. Like the slider (first slide phone from nokia that feels solid and does not snaps hard)

    The bad: Battery runs out after two day with some wifi rowsing, or even less with more browsing. It's 1000mAh but it stil does not make enough power i guess. I heard something about the software update, that the never os update has (or will have) optimized consumption, but i don't know if this are just speculations on forums, or is there any truth to that.

The good:
  • Solid and attractive build
  • HSDPA, Wi-Fi and A-GPS
  • Excellent productivity tools
The bad:
  • Smaller battery compared to E71
  • Accelerometer can be a nuisance
The bottomline:

While we like the E71 better, the E66 is a great smartphone with class leading features. If you want the functionality of a business phone without the bulk of a PDA form factor, the E66 is the phone you've been looking for.
