Huh? That's the first thing I noticed. The SE logo.
I currently have both an E61i and a BlackJack II. Although I definitely prefer the E61i keyboard, the BlackJack isn't as bad as it seems. My only complaint with it is OS-driven and it's the lack of keyboard shortcuts for foreign characters and for quickly scrolling through pages (vertically) or words (horizontally), which is all available in the E61i.
What does concern me about making the E71 narrower than the E61i is not so much keyboard size as it is screen size. The 2.8" screen is one of my favorite features of the Nokia.
That being said, if I had the choice of E61i-size or BJ-size keyboard on the E71, I'd definitely go the wider way. Wider is better, said Pontiac.
