When you say "stupidly tedious writing and replying", do you mean using the
phone keypad?
You'll get the same if you use a N73.
I used to have a Treo 600 which I used for mail and text, cos it had the
full qwerty keypad it was very good for writing.I used to sync with outlook
once I got home.
I've now got a Nokia N73 after the Treo gave up the ghost and died. I use
the N73 for email viewing and replying, but I've got used to writing in
predictive text format. I check my mail via googlemail online via the Opera
Mobile browser, that way I don't need to download anything and I can set
googlemail to reply with a different email address rather than the
googlemail one.

Both phones are good, but I think the N73 has more versatility, but I'm
waiting to upgrade to the new N95 (8G
phone as I miss having wifi on my
phone.
