1 2 I'm stuck with a version that a friend brought me from Singapore: I cannot open SMS messages in other than English (as well as a couple of local Asian languages). Accordingly, it cannot be used with Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, etc. SMS messages. My friend contacted them but was told that no software will be made available, phones being "market specific" which is a rip-off if true
The good: Lots of them except the above which is a major problem for international multi-lingual travelers.
The bad: Not a great camera
If you are English dont buy this phone in middle east
The bad: Impossible to see the English letters on the keyboard
Haha, suckers.
Should've bought the Blackjack
you are a tool.
Immediately nokia need attentions to firmware upgrade to camera.
The good: Excellent design, battery life, connectivity, good screen, Gps is good with Google Maps with Nokia Maps. Able to play most of the audio and video formats.
The bad: Poor audio quality, Terrible camera ( even VGA camera will be better than this 3.2M).
you have to focus manually camshot using the "2" or "T" button. wait for the box to green
I hate it when the manufacturer does not give you a choice to buy the product. English only has no Arabic support and Arabic/English has unreadable English keyboard. Another important issue: 3G has a European version and US version. The 3G of the European version will work in North America but not the opposite. Why not cover the whole World like the iPhone? microSD up to 8GB? Wake-up, we have 32GB now.
The good: QWERTY keyboard. Front camera. A-GPS. Size.
The bad: Unreadable English keyboard on the Arabic version. 3G does not cover all the frequencies (850, 900, 1900, 2100). microSD slot supports up to 8GB.
I love this phone. After using the E61 for the last two years, this phone does everything the E61 does but does it faster. The GPS functionality is an added bonus plus the camera. Personally, I don't see what the big deal about the picture quality is. I think it is fine for a business phone. I also love the fact that I can Imap this phone to a Google account and receive all my mail. Only slight disappointment is that some websites take a little bit longer to load up but at least you can watch youtube which you can't with the iPhone. This is almost the perfect phone for me. Almost only because of web surfing limitations (but I'm probably asking for a bit too much).
The good: Light, compact, great design, fantastic build quality. Keyboard and controller pad is excellent. Voice quality is really good and so is the speakerphone function. Has auto email setup function. Great price in Aust through the Three network (free on $49 cap and above).
The bad: Menus are a little complicated to navigate. Some flash and graphics sites are slow to load up. (At least is loads up you tube).
am a bloody international student... can't afford to buy it upfront... got an optus as my cel service provider... can anybody lemme know if this beauty is going to b offered by optus on cap plan in future... plz reply me on my email id mohsinhakhtar@gmail.com
thanks...
Hey there ,
the fone is available on 3 .. I have this fone and got it the next day as soon as they launched it. This is a bloody amazing fone. I was just a bit disappointed with the battery life in comparison to the read reviews. The fone is perfect for all business people and has a lot of amazing features and not to forget the internet experience on this is amazing. Well infact insane.
This phone is a great little device. Everything rolled into one sleek little phone. Its smart, its sophisticated and wont go out of fashion. TWO Thumbs up to Nokia.
The good: User friendly, QWERTY keyboard, GPS, Email, Size, Design
The bad: Camera not the best, but it is used for business. If you were a photographer, buy a camera.
Sensational package - set up via Virgin Mobile and added Nokia's beta-test push email - who needs a Blackberry?
Have always avoided tiny mobile keyboards, but here is one even I can use.
The good: Quality feel, excellent keyboard, great screen, yet small and compact, not much bigger than my other old favourite, the Motorola RAZR V3 - thinner too! Excellent business tool.
The bad: Web surfing still a little slow and cumbersome, but that's more the network rather than the device.
i love this phone, my brother just got one.. i am with optus and i really want one... does anyone know if it will be released through optus?? please respond to leesahjaye@hotmail.com
Can get Optus ones on eBay =)
Absolutely fantastic. I have been a Business Blackberry user for a few years now (I live on the thing!) and find this phone, simple to use, easy to hold and fits nicely in the and, sleek and elegant in design, can be a bit tricky to navigate at first but becomes quite easy, but hey, with all the freekin fiunctionality it provides those who **** about having to learn how to use it should bugger off and buy a telstra home phone instead. The only issue is that it doesnt have a little track ball that some of the newer B/Berries have which would have been a fantastic addition. Other than that. Very, very very very highly recomended.
Had the E65 for two years and upgraded cause my 18 month old threw it, LOVE the phone it was better than i imagined I use it to mange my workshop and team
The bad: small keys I have fat fingers
hey does it cost extra if you use google maps?
love mp4 video ring tones !!! my N95 can't do that. I got this E71 free when I switched carriers. I intended to keep using my N95, but after using the "freebie" E71 (incedentally it came unlocked - from Optus), I've decided to ditch the N95. The N95 is buggy, slow and less robust than the E71.
the only bad thing about the E71 imho is no accelerometer and no 3D graphics with TV out so I can't play quake on it....but, it does have TV out via a laptop using bluetooth...
The good: good keyboard fast operating fast GPS mp4 ringtones compact and light with excellent battery life aussie maps already loaded
The bad: no TV out not quite as loud as N95 screen a little on the small side but acceptable
Well, I upgraded from a N95 to this phone after reading all the excellent reviews but now after a few days of using it has become apparent just how crap this phone really is.
I'll try to sell it now on eBay and then get a Blackberry. Anything other than a NOKIA
The good: Looks good You can make phone calls
The bad: Bluetooth doesn't work - see: http://discussions.nokia.co.uk/discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&message.id=24636 Camera is f*#kin' terrible!! the images are all fuzzy, and it always makes a loud 'clicking' sound when taking a picture (you can't turn it off or to silent either) If you want to use Microsoft exchange server, you can no longer use the Nokia PC Connect to syncronise your phone - its one or the other (that is really bad) Internet is really slow... Red button on top used to switch profiles is impossible to press 2.5 headphone jack micro USB USB port has this stupid rubber cover that you have to open to connect cable - very annoying if you connect a few times a day
i have had my third one in less then a month, all with the same problem, software issues. after a couple of days of having the phone every now and then when i press either 1 of 2 menu buttons it does not work and the phone freezes up. this is the third one i have with the same problem, i have to turn the phone off completely and take battery out before it works again, so frustrating. other then that i love the phone. ANYONE ELSE HAVE SAME PROBLEM?
With my Nokia E71, I have not managed to discover how to receive emails or reach the internet through a phone connection to my service provider. I can only get to the internet through my private wireless network. Can someone help me please?
Bought this phone the other day, on a plan with 3. Love the phone. I have always had 'simple' phones, so this is great for me. I have had a few problems with it, and am not sure whether it is a 3 problem or a phone problem. I am returning it tonight to get it replaced. When I turn it on, it takes far too long to load, over a minute - and I have nothing extra ont he phone. I am also having issues with the phone picking up reception, I hold my Parnter's phone next to it which is also 3 and it has full reception, mine will have 1 bar, if not it has switched to roaming. I also can't figure out how to download a new theme for it? I have looked through the Nokia website via my phone and can't find a thing, so if any one knows please write it on here.
Haven't really used the camera or emails, so can't comment on them.
For people who have tried to type on it and decided not to buy it because they think it is hard to type: it gets easier! Also, use the corner of your thumb, not the middle of your thumb. I was typing random words in messages when I was first using the phone, but now I find it quicker than the traditional number keypads.
The good: Looks / Stylish Size Keyboard - is easy to type Cover included
The bad: Loadspeaker is very very quiet compared to other Nokias Red button to turn on and off is hard to press if you don't have nails
I have recently bought Nokia E71 good looking sleek design very good software.really smart phone since i have been using mobiles phones.
The good: -Good design, Sleek body -Nice Leather case in box -QWERTY key pad -Good GPS -Fast in internet Browsing -Good applications.
The bad: -Camera pics are not clear -Poor network reception -Small keys. for big thumbs like me !! -Mono speaker -Takes long to choose call option have to go tru 2 steps. -No option in switching from alpha to numeric like typing phone numbers wile writing sms have to hold shift keys all the time.
I have been using it for a month now. Everything is great with this phone. I do recommend that if you are reading this comment to make up your mind!
The good: Excellent design, Excellent screen res., wifi support, response time
The bad: Audio output is very poor (not loud enough) Camera could have been better
It is a great phone, although the menu is a bit drab, the whole thing is generally great. Keyboard, size, feel are great. I think the camera is fine, once you turn the flash off.
The good: Keyboard is sweet. Applications are good. Awesome battery life.. but hardly as long as is advertised. Really good phoneee!
The bad: Doesn't stand too well against being dropped - chipped mine along the bottom. Screen and front scratch easily.
Hey can anyone suggest a good "Bluetooth stereo headset (need a small one to use it for jogging/running)" that works well with this ph.?? Will be of great help if u could e-mail me prabudkp@hotmail.com
The good: Just ordered on the net and on its way to me..:)
i sooolove this fon because its soooo in,,,, =)
i love the phone because it is not like the other phones because i had a iphone and it was so hard to write message with it and than i got a nokia e71 and i love the phone
this is the perfect phone for me.... i wish it was a little cheaper though :-P

I have used the Nokia E71 for 3 days now, after I dropped my iPhone. I can honestly say that this is a better product. Both keyboard and functionality. The iPhone pips it when it comes to software icon design but that is about it. Hardware design the E71 is extremely sexy.
The good: Screen resolution Qwerty Keyboard Design Functionality
The bad: Camera could have had a better focus
