For those Australians who have been investigating whether to get a Nokia E65, i think the decision has just been made for you by THREE.
Their $69 cap plan now gets you a FREE Nokia E65 and the usual $550 worth of calls, sms per month to other networks and $210 worth of calls to THREE users per month. Now, they have added a bonus worth $29/month which is a free USB modem and 2GB download per month! The only catch is that the 2GB download can only be used on a separate SIM card given to you. This means that you will not be able to use your phone to download or as a modem (unless u take out your existing SIM card), so this deal is aimed at those looking for mobile broadband for their laptop/computer AND a nokia E65. More details can be found here.
BUT before you sign up, this is how you should do it:
1. AS mentioned in a previous post, sign up with Moneybackco first to get $24 cashback
2. Go to the three website after you have logged into Moneybackco, to sign up to the cap plan online and get $50 credited to your mobile account.
3. If you sign up for the $69 cap, you'll end up having a free Nokia E65, $550 worth of calls and SMS every month, mobile broadband USB dongle, 2GB to use anywhere in 3-coverage areas (eg capital cities in Australia), $50 bonus online credit and $24 cashback from Moneybackco.
From this website, you can see the benefits of a Nokia E65. As far as I know, this is the best offer in Australia for getting a Nokia E65 if you want mobile broadband as well. If you don't, then just sign up for a $29 cap plan and still get the mobile phone free. If you do take this offer, leave a comment below as we'd all love to hear about it.

Your Hacks - What do you do with Nokia E65 Flash Player?
Looking through the different applications on the Nokia E65, I come across the Adobe Flash Player. I realised that in the past nine months of using this phone i have NEVER used this program! Am I missing something or has no other E65 user ever used Adobe Flash Player too? I have tried to look this up online but havent really (tried that hard) found anything about this. Flash experts do rise to this occasion and lend us your wisdom.
SECRET Codes for Nokia E65 (and other Nokias)
*#06# - As mentioned in the stolen phone post, this is used to show you your Nokia E65 serial number of IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identifier) as they call it in the mobile world.
*#92702689# (*#war0anty#) - This will show you the "Life Timer" of your phone, i.e. the total time you have spent on phone calls (in minutes). eg "Life Timer: 46:40"
*#0000# - This will show you the software version, the date when the software was built and the phone model. If you have software version 2.0633.65.01 you are up to date. If not, go here to find out how to update your phone firmware.
*#2820# (*#BTA0#) - This will display the Bluetooth device address for your Nokia E65.
Finally.. don't do this one just to try it out - it will wipe everything off your phone!
*#7370# (*#RES0#) - This will reset your phone to factory default settings. Only do this in the event of an emergency (can't think of one right now) and you don't mind losing all your customizing, which, if you are following this blog, could be quite a lot! The default security code if asked is12345.
Press 0 for Shortcut to the Internet
Want the fastest way to get to your mobile phone internet browser? If you press and hold down 0, your Nokia will load up the web browser. The phone will then ask you to choose an access point unless you already have a default access point set up. This means that there is no real point having your Web Browser as one of the standby applications on the standby screen as pressing 0 will get you surfing the net faster. Save that precious standby appliction slot at the top of your screen for a more valuable application.
