If they updated it, kept it almost the same size, gave it a decent screen,
bit more well thought-out additions to the properties of the phone,
hopefully NO bleedin' camera, then it would be one I'd be getting again.

Similar story here. I've just got a Siemens HKW-600 BT carkit, it's a
great car kit and certainly beats the Moto BT speakerphone I used to
have. From personal experience and from searching on the web the only
phones (apart from siemens) guaranteed to work seem to be Nokia's.

Shame really because I would have probably gone for an SE phone over
Nokia based on previous phones.

I am still keeping my 6310i as well but I did wonder how the E60 would
compare. Has anyone here who is familiar with a 6310i had experience of
one yet?

Works for me with a headset, PC link and car kit (albeit fitted to my
motorcycle..!)

Nothing wrong with the screen. At least you can see it in daylight, unlike
these colour ones.

The phone is just fine as it is.
