What do you mean will they make something like the E70? They already did!

It's a shame that Nokia didn't dabble with this form-factor a bit later (like about now) with S60 3rd Edition FP1 (or even 2). The screen resolution on this device was fab and, no doubt, Nokia will go this way eventually but for now it seems that VGA is 'good enough' for most uses (perhaps with web browser excepted). Anyway, just so you know that you view is valued, I'm with you!
I like the keypad. I think the keypad is the best for thumb-typing.

I used the Nokia 6820 for a good long time waiting for a replacement until the E70 came out. I have been waiting for the E71 that was just released but gave up in March and bought an N95-4. I'm still looking to get an E71 but like the form factor of the E70, great screen rez, great keyboard.
