I love this phone. I bought my GF one also, I liked it so much.

PRO’s: Everything mentioned in the review.

CON’s: It’s hard to find the call blocking feature. It’s in the File Manager/Installations/Advanced Call Manager.

Other than that, there are no con’s. I am used to the key size now. My thumbs can fly across the little QWERTY keys now.

Great phone. Just like a real computer in many ways. It crashes and freezes too often meaning I missed an important call recently.

I forgot my E71 in a taxi in Shanghai, the bloody Taxi driver or whoever found it turned it off immediately.. Luckily the memory card was encrypted and the Phone was locked with a code so its not of use for them.

Because I liked this phone so much, I bought the same model again, although I had my first for almost 1,5 years.

Most awesome phone I ever had, like it much more than the blackberry my company gave me.

The E71 is probably the best handset available for prosumers. It takes what many want from an iPhone and need from a BlackBerry and puts it into a package that is well designed.

The isync plugin can be found here… http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/product-support/isync/compatibility-and-download and it should sync your Mac’s address book with the E71’s.

I am very tempted to but this phone – but to put it simply I am not a techno boffin. I would like to know whether this phone will do the following when I send SMS messages via PC suite:-
Bearing in mind that recipients of my messages do not all have smart phones and can only receive SMS and not MMS messages
1. not chop the message into 5 different messages when there are 1000 or more characters
2. save the message on my phone sent items with full details so that I can forward via e-mail to my computer for proof that the message was sent, delivered to the receipient at a particular time
3. Where I have the recipients cell number identified to a person on contacts the name of the person will be populated on the copy of the message that is stored as saved.
This would really help me in my deliberations.

You can use up to a 32GB Micro SDHC card with the e71. Why Nokia tells no one this I will never know. They are pricey but but worth every penny for the unlimited space. A 16 Gig card will run you around 50 bucks on Amazon or newegg.com. So please do not believe you are limited to * gigs of space. Just make sure you get at least a class 6 or your downloads to the card will be very slow.

Also note that the best way to upload to the card is with Windows Media Player. Fast and easy. Hope this helps.

Which do you think is better. Nokia E63 or the Nokia E71?

I realise that the E71 has a bigger screen so that is a plus on the 63.

Nokia claims that it works with an 8Gb micro SHDC card, although why it should be limited to that I don’t know (unless they’re just talking about what’s generally available on the market). Mine currently has a 4Gb card and works perfectly.

As a computer tech someone who’s been using mobiles / cell phones since 1990, when they looked like Maggie Thatcher’s handbag, I can truthfully say that, from my point of view, my new E71 is the best mobile phone yet.

Is it better than an iPhone? Well I’ve had both and the E71 is certainly much smaller and the build quality looks and feels better, and the call quality is at least as good. iPhone has lots more apps and a better OS but it’s NOT significantly better for the extra money (or increased network contract costs). BTW touch-screen keyboards are crap compared to a true hard-key qwerty).

I love mine to bits. Although it’s got lots of toys like TWO cameras (one is for for videophone), mp3 player, GPRS mapping, office apps, streaming video, etc., it’s main features for me are:

a) Excellent phone (small size, crystal clear reception on ORANGE network in remote places, quad band).
b) QWERTY keyboard with raised keys (absolute dawdle to use)
c) Internet access (if you really want it – remember that this is never going to be as good as a computer …. it’s basically a bl**dy phone, and a great one at that)
d) E-mail on the move via GPRS-WAP, Orange mail, or wi-fi (free access worldwide where available)
e) The wi-fi lan wizard makes it simple to set up wireless links anywhere. It remembers all your data (unlike the new N97 which apparently forgets it all )
f) Personal organizer / contacts list which syncs with your computer. The contacts list is intelligent in that you only need a single entry for each user and it holds all their e-mail, mobiles, home phone data and each application seeks out the correct data.
g) Weather forecaster – just set the area you want to know about and you get a 1-15 day forecast.
h) File manager – access all your photos, sounds, etc. from the main screen.
i) Downloadable applications – I downloaded SKYPE as Orange don’t supply it on contract but 3-mobile does.
j) It comes with a 2Gb micro-sd memory card but can be upgraded to 8Gb (cards are swappable too without detriment to phones onboard 110Mb memory).
k) Free case & in-ear headphones

So, if you want a great phone that does e-mail and lots of other tricks get a Nokia E71 (and it looks the absolute business)

I have this phone now on Optus in Australia. Does anyone know of any good applications for this phone?

The reason being…

My BlackBerry Bold on Telstra Next G (AU again) has been playing up so I’ve sent it away to get fixed. I can definitely say that the Blackberry Bold triumphs over this in user friendliness, playback of videos that I’ve downloaded, and the quick speeds of Next G’s network only make it better. I am also feeling the loss of the made-for-Blackberry applications and themes, such as Facebook and Dexrex SMS backup etc.

So any suggestions would be great!

Thanks
J

I forgot to say this ad I hope I am allowed. After going through 5 different head phones (a couple I lost and the rest were shit) and doing a little research i found what i would be the perfect headphones for this phone…..the Sennheiser cx400B. You can get them for 30 bucks if you look around the web. Sounds better than a pair I paid $100 for. Guys….you have not began to hear music till you try the combo of these headphones with coreplayer on your e71. I have no more use for the ipod cause this gives me all I need. I hope this helps!

After 7 months of owning this phone I am finally compelled to sit and write this review. There is nothing out there like the E71. The calls are clear and I have a dropped call yet. After spending decent time and looking at the sites dedicated to this phone I have been able to stuff my SD card with a ton of goodies. I watch all my favorite shows on the subway and the music sounds awesome (Coreplayer), the Nokia messaging pushes my email to the phone before it even gets to my inbox on the PC (email. Nokia.com), I am able to make my skype calls, Msn call, twitter and muchmore from Fring (Fring.com) and sometimes the voip calls are clearer than my cell calls. I also use an awesome app. called truphone (truphone.com) which saves a ton on International calls. The list goes on and on.

If you think the phone is great out of the box you will really get your moneys worth when you see all that can be done on this great machine. If you have any doubts take it from me…..Get one NOW!
