No matter when this year the E71 comes out, that's the phone I'm going to be after. (the version for T-mobile USA). Though, the sooner it's out, the less likely I'll waste money on an E62 as an interim phone.

But that's the good thing about these phones, they won't be carrier-specific or locked.

Carlo2: that's not exactly true. There will be 3 versions of the E71:

1) for the Euro-Asian WCDMA band (2100MHz, I think?)

2) for the AT&T WCDMA band (1900MHz?)

3) for the T-Mobile-USA WCDMA band (1700MHz)

So while it wont be locked nor branded to any carrier, and you could technically use any one of the phones with GSM carrier (I believe they're all quad-band GSM, just not tri-band WCDMA) ... they are affectively tied to a given carrier for WCDMA/UMTS/HSPA use.

(though, the AT&T one I think is also usable with a carrier in Canada)
