White Nokia E71 in the flesh
Remember that black Nokia E71 we kinda, sorta fell in love with? Turns out it’s not alone. A shiny white version of the handset has been spotted in the concrete jungle, replacing the black model’s dapper exterior with a little bit of light. While white can often make a handset look a little unappealing, Nokia has done an excellent job here, implementing the new paint job in a classy, tasteful way. This ain’t no white/green Palm Centro. As great as this is, what we would love even more is for a US carrier, cough**AT&T**cough, to pick up this amazing handset for mass distribution. That, dear readers, would make us happy. But, oh yeah, we called that already! Also, as good as this E71 looks, we’re pretty sure its sort of a spare parts unit. For clarification, the keyboard and the back top cover look to be installed on a regular E71. Expect the white AT&T version to be… white.
I was reading the article title a second before the photo loaded and was thinking “WOW this is gonna look great”
But then it loaded and there it is: An ugly half brown, half white mess. Why do they do that? An all-white E71 would have looked brilliant.
I really want one of these, might actually get me to leave the blackberry ranks. Hey BG it suppost BB Connect right?
is the e71 launching monday june 16?
i will be visiting miami on july 24 for just 2 days, i hope i can find somewhere that phone unlocked to bring to my country…

Thats IF it comes out.
What do you mean IF?
will BB connect be an option.
As much as I like my E61i and want to love the e71, I’m really struggling with Symbian/S60’s lack of better fonts and eye appeal.
Admittedly the fonts on the e71 are marginally better than the e61i….but it’s been a whole year…why, dear Nokia, can I nothing better than “marginally better??”
“can I *say* nothing better…” is what I meant.
Ok I got the chance to see the white one(not this variation) up close and personal. Was amazing! This one just doesnt look right. Maybe just the pic.
was pricing announced for this?
I have got to admit….The E-Series selection is looking rather delicious this year. Both the E66 & E71 are VERY attractive looking devices. The specs don’t disappoint either…
Ya’ heard, Steve?
I’m getting BORED of waiting and waiting! And if it is over-priced I ll go for iphone or a latest blackberry!
Like it! But I’m not really digging the white keyboard…it’s kinda cool but not really.
I don’t want a white one
Wow. Different strokes for different folks, but I have to say this white version is fugly.
*yawn*
The pic doesnt do this white version justice. the problem is that all the chrome parts on the phone is reflecting a dark shirt and blue jeans, so it looks like white and brown. We need to see the white E71 with no chrome reflections.
You’ve a point there
I’ll prefer a darker color!
We should be getting in the Gun metal E71 next wee, too.
at&t? are you serious? at&t sucks major ass, you guys should probably get off their nuts.
This pic definitely doesn’t do the device justice, you’ll need to see it for yourselves once it’s out! Taking a closer look, by the looks of the keypad, I’m not even sure if it’s the latest hardware.
