I got me a blue E63 yesterday, and am simply lovin' it. The looks, the feel of the keys and you gotta' love the battery life!

I never purchased it from Alfa; however, could I purchase just the data cable from them, or is it advisable to get it from an authorized Nokia dealer.

It's more like checking out google earth on the phone.
Im sure the E63 has Nokia maps preinstalled. Please check in applications.

E63 is without the GPS chip, nokia maps is installed but its to be used with a bluetooth GPS! The whole GPS/NAVIGATION experience with nokia maps is not too good. I used MAP MY INDIA and their navigation on a Black berry bold and it was incredible. The Map was very detailed and also very accurated!

I use my E63 for Emailing 24/7, IM, VOIP and internet. Apart from the usual SMSing and CALLING. The battery life is amazing and the phone does a gr8 job.

Do I have to have a business account and a data plan, if I wish to receive new email notifications?

I entered my gmail user ID and password in the 'Set up e-mail' on the main screen; would I be notified that I got mail, if I am connected using WiFi?
Does the type of connection (WiFi/GPRS) have anything to do with this, or is it just that I need to be connected to the internet in some way.

Well if you are connected via Wifi you don't need data plan. But if wifi is not available you will need GPRS. And yes you will be notified if you got new e-mail.

2-3 month old N96's with 10 months warranty remaining are selling for 21-23K here, so i don't think you will be making a profit.

Guys suggest a replacement for an N82. I would prefer a nokia only and camera + flash is of high priority.

If you're getting a brand new, boxed E71 for 15K, pick it up man!

In Mumbai, the E71 & E63 retail for 19.8K and 13K, respectively.
