Up to current generation of E71 or E51, they have tried to pack everything into it - groups, window live (chats) and even conversation (SMS). The result was kinda of confusing on user interface and really bad responses when you have a loaded list of contacts and SMS. On the other hand, Nokia have also implemented the direct contact search which has been indispensible. The feature will search for and suggest the contact as soon as you start typing on the key / number pad. Access to the contact you are looking for is extremely quick and efficient. This is really the best way of finding people and I believe (and perhaps Nokia too) it renders a delicated the need of a delicated PhoneBook key much less useful. I can attest to this bcos I almost never use the PhoneBook key on my E71. But you can always program the soft and hard buttons on the phone to bring up the phonebook if you like. You may even prefer the Ovi Contact as the replacement when it graduates from the Betalabs (or has it ?)

Now we have a phone without a phonebook key. Can you imagine that? I was planning to upgrade my E51. Now I have to wait for the E56 or something. BTW, the idea of a semi-querty was real cool!
