The E71 has a widescreen perfect for viewing notes and messages, thanks to its large fonts, and is great for surfing web pages. The QWERTY keyboard is slightly cramped, but the buttons are soft and nice to type on. It also features two home screens which allows for nifty switching between my work applications and off-duty shortcuts. The battery life is excellent, having only charged it twice during the one week trial. Overall, the E71 is a snappy device with great performance - a must buy for mobile work warriors.

‘Form with functionality’, the Nokia E71’s utilitarian design in a sleek and sexy stainless steel package, is the embodiment of functional rationality, industrial aesthetics and with a class leading functionality feature set. It is not exuberant, but is committed to the urbanites desiring a mobile personal and professional lifestyle solution. In 7 days of trial usage, I found 7 reasons to justify its desirability.

When I first saw the Nokia E71, I was immediately mesmerised by the form-factor of the device, especially the White Steel version. The launch of the E71 came in around a year or so after its predecessor, the E61/E61i, not forgetting the E51, which wasn’t exactly a good comparison as it doesn’t come with a QWERTY keyboard. From a quick search on the web, I could gather that the hype surrounding this device was very high and there were mostly positive comments from the general mobile community. True enough, the E71 didn’t disappoint me.
