Just tried on my E61 (effectively the same phone) - got an error:
"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest version of Flash."
So - no.

The E61 is excellent. The VOIP client is a bit tricky - it expects you to be on the same subnet as the VOIP server, and doesn't support NAT, but there are ways to get it to work. Apparently Nokia are going to update the firmware this year to allow NAT transversal.
The Wifi is good, and the email works well if you subscribe to the push service - I'm cheap and don't, and just get my mail over wifi - I find that once it leaves the wifi network it stops checking for mail, and to get it to start checking for mail again you have to manually start the checking again (which is a little annoying to me.)
The browser works well - except for complex JS (e.g. Google Maps / AJAX based sites)
The big screen is good, and the keyboard works well - and there are lots of apps available (e.g. I use mine as an in-car GPS connected to a bluetooth GPS device.)
It has an excellent text-to-speech feature where it announces the name of the caller after the first ring - very useful when the phone is out of sight or you are driving.
Basically - I won't be getting an iPhone (not until there's a version with 3G) It makes the iPhone look a bit limited

I was looking at the E62 but with the iPhone coming out I may just have to wait.

The text to speech is built-in.

OK I have to ask.
How much retail and on contract?
Does it support 3G?
Is there a CDMA version?
What is the cost of ownership over 2 years with data plan and contract?

E62 has no 3G or wifi, just EDGE.

My E61 has both. Clearly you Americans lose...

Odd - I had no idea the E62 was so different.

E62 is a crippled version of the E61. No 3g, wifi or viop. The E62 however does have a slightly faster processor, yet it still seems more sluggish than the E61 when compared side by side.

I held one the other day in the store.. I was right, it is massive. Rather unimpressive next to the pearl.
The keys are also cramped together that I think I would actually find using a touchscreen keyboard easier than this thing.
