I've had it for over a year now, but there is just one small problem that's developed. When I just the keyboard, I hear a cracking/snapping noise. I believe this may be some sort of membrane under the keypad that's shifted position, but I'm not sure. It doesn't affect the functionality of the phone, but it is slightly annoying. Oh well, my E61i has gotten a lot of use. I hope to get the E71 when it becomes available. I am completely in love with my E61i.

Particulary because of the full querty keyboard and all the situations when you have to look something up really fast. Off topic: I know you've been wondering how skyscape is working on S60. Judging from my expirience with the N95 and Tabers, it's too slow to be usable and nowhere near the expirience on a Windows Mobile or Palm device. So for now I'd advise you to stay away from it.

It will take some scratches if it's put in the same pocket with some keys, but other than that, i believe it'll stay like it is.
