Nokia E71 video walkthrough

You’ve been waiting and waiting, but finally, the wait is over. Check out our complete video walkthrough of the Nokia E71. We tried to get everything in including most of your reasonable questions that you left in the comments. As we told you, this thing is speedy and small! We even threw in the iPhone and Curve so you could really a size comparison. Now, who’s running out to buy this thing the first day it’s out?

    Thanks for the walkthrough BG :)
    When it gets out it shouldnt be more than 400 euro (considering that the E90 is 500 euro now).
    Am a little dissapointed about the screen size but maybe its not that bad after all I mean it could still be decent for GPS and media.
    I think the E71 will be the succesor for my E61i.
    Not a bad phone overall with essential key features on top of the phone it self..kinda my thing :)

    After a couple days to peruse, what is your opinion on the QWERTY keyboard’s ease of use, and ability to type without typing errors? How does its keyboard compare against some of the leading competitive models? Also, are any of the function keys difficult to reach without mis-hits?

    Looks like a pretty tight unit, albeit fairly traditional arrangement. The execution of the design is probably the most tightly integrated I’ve seen in terms of being neither a Fisher-Price toy nor a brick. ;) Nice video review!

    Although the screen resolution is the same (320×240) compared to my E61i – it appears to me that some features look as if they were designed for low-res screens…?

    Check out the Gallery app again, there are 4 vertical icons (images, video etc) while I have 5 on my E61i. Same thing with the browser (4 vs 5 bookmark icons). What happens if you reduce the font size? Oh and does Mail for Exchange still display emails with a ridiculously huge font compared to ie. SMS messages or regular IMAP mailboxes?

    Thanks!

    (PS: Please reply to my questions after my exam tomorrow or otherwise I’m stuck here all night… ;) )

    One question isn’t answered:
    Does it have an acceleration sensor?

    For example: showing g-forces in a car or automatic screen rotation. Ok, screen rotation is a bit useless with this form factor, but I need the sensor for other things.

    Hi,

    How well does it work with Hotmail?

    I gave up my E61i just because it did not work well with my hotmail account and changing my hotmail is no option

    Thanks

    Awesome walk-thru BG, and as an OS-agnostic user I’m looking forward to trying this thing out. Loved my N75 but at the end of the day I need a real keyboard (same problem I have with my iPhone, actually).

    But seriously guys, what are you using to stream your video? Was there really no service that could allow us to scrub through the vid? Or at least see how much time was left? Gotta step it up a notch…

    And… I feel dumb, because when I posted this reply and the page reloaded, all the controls magically appeared at the bottom of the video. Weird, but obviously my problem, not yours. Snarkism retracted, 100% awesomeness on the video!

    Thanks so much BG! Wow…that’s solid. Moving from using a nokia 6230, motorola slvr, and a palm vx….I can’t wait-I won’t know what to do with myself!

    BTW-as great as this video walk-thru was…it still does not totally redeem you from the funky-fresh video…sorry!
