I too am looking at this phone in lieu of an iPhone and as I understand it the E71 has a SIP client built in does it not? Perhaps not open source though.
The big deal for me and the main reason why the iPhone is not cutting it at the moment is the ability to use the device as a modem. SSH on either platform might be ok for tapping out a quick command or two, but if I am on the road and need to do some more in depth diagnosis I need the laptop.
