    Hi ‘Dotsisx’, long time no comment :p
    There’s one thing I would like you to check for me on the E66. I bought an E71 (E71-1 actually, AZERTY keyboard) (A-W-E-S-O-M-E by the way, my E50 has been put to shame bad time. It’s a backup phone now) and I think I’ve got a problem with Flash Lite not working in the Web browser.
    Am I mistaking by thinking that the E66 and E71 are supposed to show flash based content in the browser natively ? I can’t get my E71 to show flash content, nothing at all, on any website I tested. Bug on my side or not ?

    Will there be a proprer review of the E71 on S-G anytime soon (or will you wait to receive your E71) ?

    Nice comparison of the two phones, but i think you mixed up e65 and e66 several times, which makes it a bit hard to read. (At least i hope you mixed them up and that there aren´t the disadvantages of the e66 i did read there)

    The keys on the E66 look remarkably the same size and shape as those found on the E51, which is not a problem for me. Can’t wait to do a direct comparison.

    The larger screen on the E66 compared to the E65 is definitely a winner.

    Actually I’m still debating with myself whether I really like the design.
    In my bad day: I think that the non-lit upper keys give the phone an “unfinished” look, as if Nokia had forgot to print the keys.
    I also prefer the raised and matte buttons of the E51 (or E71) compared to the flat shiny ones of the E66.
    In my good day: The phone looks sleek with its minimalistic and elegant design. I also love the back of the phone!

    I realize now that I wanted a replica of the E51 (look-wise) but in a slider form hehe. I’ll buy the E66 anyway :-).

    Merlin,
    I think that the E66 & E71 are supposed to support flash out of the box, so videos like youtube should work in the browser. But I have read somewhere (excuse me but I can’t recall the source right now) that the browser is failing to load videos after a couple of times. I have been trying to open a few videos all day, but the N82, the E66 AND the N95 are all giving me Server Busy messages. Hm I wonder :s
    As for an E71 review, I think I will have to wait until I have mine to get its review done.

    None of your business,
    When re-reading the post, I discovered that I did mix them up once. I have just re-arranged it and re-written some parts to make my point more clear. You can read it and tell me if there’s something you need clarification on.

    Mino,
    Trust me, when you see it in person, you will love it!

    @Merlin, you’re not the only one to comment on the E71 & Flash Lite 3 issue with the browser. Dogman on HowardForums & Symbian-Freak did a review with his model and after working only 1 time in the browser he too cannot access youtube or other flash sites. I’m not sure if this is a growing issue (trend) or if its changes to Youtube’s site (non-mobile I believe). Ricky, could you test as well (with a powercycle) and if its confirmed by you can you see what your WOM contacts say for possible resolution? Please?!

    Thanks & unique review – definately needed.
