Nokia E71 gets official on Rogers
In a move that has been very long in the making, Rogers has officially acknowledged that it will be carrying the Nokia E71 in the near future. With the N95 8GB being such a huge seller, Rogers is hoping that the E71 will prove to be popular not only with consumers who are seeking a device that offers a better compromise between business and pleasure, but with people who want a great 3G smartphone that isn’t the Bold or iPhone 3G. The specs of the Rogers E71 are as follows:
- Quad-band GSM/GRSP/EDGE
- 850/1900 MHz UMTS/HSDPA (3.6 mbps)
- 114mm x 57mm x 10mm, 127g
- 128MB RAM/256MB ROM
- S60 3rd Edition FP1, Symbian 9.2
- 320 x 240 display
- 802.11b/g and aGPS
- microSD
- microUSB
- Full-QWERTY keypad and metal body construction
- 10.5 hours talk-time, 408 hours stand-by
Pricing and availability have yet to be released.

How come no US Carrier is releasing this phone? I know Best Buy is selling Nokia E-71 with T-Mobile 2 year contract for $199.

So the kid should be giving one away soon? Hells yea.
This thing is the shizznit guys. It’s sleek and stylish as hell, and the OS is not the prettiest, but it’s a productivity beast that’s utterly usable.
Ill take S60 over Android thank you, Android will be good some day but right now it sux.
Android? Why would anyone put an OS that is useless for business purposes on a business phone? I’m not wild about S60, would prefer WinMo or the BB OS, but this is the best hardware I’ve seen. If I knew it was coming to AT&T cheap I might hold off on getting a Storm so I could stay, but it’s not officially supported to connect to my corporate Exchange server.
the OS is awesome but its ugly…so I downloaded a really rad theme…problem solved
can this in any way indicate that there is a chance it might appear as an AT&T phone ?
