My e62 is a business class phone. Only beeps once. I presonally can't stand the constant reminder feature.

I am never without my phone and make it a habit to check it when I have been out of earshot for a bit.

If anyone has done nothing more than follow the dozen iPhone threads in OT alone you'd quickly figure out the the "must have" features of a phone are all over the place. To expect one device to do it all at any price is just silly.

Don't hold your breath on the price coming down. That has never been Apple's play.

In six months they will release better hardware and keep the pricepoint the same.

That's been their model for years now.
