Overview

    An all-in-one device with all the necessary features, such as Wi-Fi & GPS, that one needs. Also, the not so common SD-HC MicroSD support proves handy when you have a lot of stuff to lug around. The camera on it takes reasonable quality pictures. The Symbian OS, in its 3rd incarnation, is not much different to it predecessor. Simple to use, but lacking software at the moment. The processor is pretty fast in switching between programs with no obvious lag, which is good for a smart device. GPS usage is definitely expensive since it’s using GPRS as a medium for connection and therefore, will incur costs per data download. Lastly, the battery life is pretty good. It lasted about 2-3 days for my use, which is not so bad. Should I recommend this? Well, the launch price is fair for this device, but it’s not perfect to perform & use. I give it 7/10; a good device with features that I need but needs to be more user friendly like my Pocket PC.

    I own an iPhone as well as a Nokia E51, so it’s only natural that I compare the Nokia E71 with those 2 phones. The Nokia E71 has many more features compared with the other 2 phones, which makes it a more attractive bundle. You can simply call it an “everything you need in a phone and more”, since you can always install more stuff when needed. I find the user interface less handy than a touch screen. The reason is that you need to scroll and scroll then click whatever u need. But overall, it’s not a bad phone. Especially if u need to multi-task as this is a phone designed for it. The buttons are a little bit smaller than the earlier version (E61?) in order to make it small, compact and have a QWERTY keypad, it’s never easy to reach a compromise. Those with bigger fingers or long nails might have a liitle bit of difficulty in typing, though. I also find that the stereo headset that comes along with it needs to be improved in terms of quality. (What ever happened to the better quality headsets from the past Nokia phone era?) Just shortly after using it, I realized that the rubber ring around the head set came off (QC failed?). The raw metal beneath it is quite sharp. Not noticing that the rubber ring came off resulted in a cut on my ear while trying to stuff it into my ear. The leather pouch and strap was a good try, but again, the quality issue. I believe I can get better stuff at night bazaar stalls. I would rather that they do without it in the first place than to package a flimsy synthetic feeling leather case which offers no protection and little aesthetic value with a strap so thin that you would worry that nothing might be hanging on to the other end (the phone) at the end of the day. Other than the accessories, I have no complaints about the phone.

    The best all rounder smartphone to have come from Nokia so far, the Nokia E71 is an extremely capable device with sleek business enterprise applications and multimedia features, elegant form factor with incredible build quality, and long lasting battery power. Together with its attractive price, the Nokia E71 is poised to seriously challenge its other enterprise rivals (Blackberry and Windows Mobile).
