Hi,
It is a wonderful phone. However, the earpiece hurts the ear and might case headache. It can easily pick up a paper clip off the table. The magnet in it is dangerously poerful.

How can I activate the menu transitions? It looks as if this option is missing in my E71, there is no option to enable/disable this feature, and obviously it’s not working as on the Video, I get the standard menu browsing like other FP1 devices. What’s the firmware version?

Hey Guys,
I got my E71 e few days ago, I tried to access youtube from the browser just like you guys did in the video review but it redirrects automatically to realplayer?how come? in your review you got the youtube video to play directly from the browser right?
oh yea, and i tried installing flash lite 3 but when i did the device says that it’s already been pre-installed in the device so it stopped the install process?!

Need your advice guys! thanks!

Great Reviews. disappointed with the screen size. seems the same as motorola. also, why isnt there touch screen function, like the palm or sonyericsson G900. be great to have those functions. not much coverage on the calendar functions, isnt that what a buisness phone’s basic function – scheduling. seems diificult to key in events. really need more explanation. still deciding between the e71 or iphone.

wow! what a piece of shit! 500 keystrokes to do anything! The web browser was seriously lacking.

You can have your Nokia. One of their serious marketing mistakes is having 300 models. What’s the difference and who cares?

“…an N96/N95 specs with keyboard would be the King Kong of mobiles.”

Umm that would be more like the Ding Dong of Mobiles, i.e. SE Paris/P5/P200/what have you…

Acceleration Sensor, G-Sensor or call it what you like, but please say yes or no: does it have an acceleration sensor?

Thanks a lot for saying yes or no!

I’ve been using the E61 for ages. Been waiting for the e71 for a long time. I don’t use GPS and why is Nokia shoving it to me? A TV out for presentations and an acceleration sensor for games would be have been greatly appreciated. Business people play games too.
I love the looks and OS but an N96/N95 specs with keyboard would be the King Kong of mobiles.

Hello BGR

Great walkthrough I’ve been so long waiting for real pictures of this phone. Unfortunately I am in the army now so I couldn’t ask my question:

Is the PDF solution of the E71 satisfying? Especially compared to the BB Bold which is more recommended to read PDFs?

Can you show us a picture of the packet contents so far? I’d be interested in knowing whether the headphones are like the ones from the n95 8gb(mic with 3.5mm headphones possibility)

Thanks a lot for your help,

Greetings from Switzerland

Great review, thanks! As I suspected, the E71 has once again come short of what it could be. I had decided to give Nokia three chances to make things right after the fabulous 6820 phone:

The E70 was great for its time with the resolution and Wifi but way too bulky and very slow especially when switching orientations.

Then came the E61i that finally neiled the slim factor but continued to be as slow as a turtle, especially compared to the Curve.

Now comes the E71 that seems to fix the responsiveness but then again the competition has moved again with the fabulous browser of the iPhone, the super convenient and efficient shortcuts of the Blackberry, etc. Nokia has completely given up innovation. Its focus instead is to take yesterday’s technology/trend and mass produce it for economies of scale, hoping that the name will sell.

Not anymore. I am giving up for the BB Bold. My key complaintes with the E71 based on the review are:

1) Still slow, especially the browser

2) Lack of 3.5 mmm – effectively unable to compete with the iPod because the Nokia headphones suck

3)It takes for ever to do simple tasks such as addding a contact, responding to an email – just the user interface is yesterday’s

4) It looks 95% like the Curve – can’t you do a little better, Nokia?

So, bye-bye!

(A)GPS on all Nokia devices I have used gets a fix within 30 secs, usually within 10. Only noobs generally moan about not being able to get a quick fix because 1) they are still on a very old firmware without AGPS 2) Can’t read the manual or know how to operate the phone properly.

Thanks a lot!

Nokia has now published an xmlfile on its site with some specs (bluetooth profiles, video codecs, etc):

Hmm,

Could you try and take a picture of something other than a white background. I couldn’t tell if it “took” the picture as soon as you pressed it, as soon as the sound went off, or, like e61i, about half a second after the sound came. That was the biggest peeve of my e61i.
