I disagree, in reality there is very little hype surrounding the E71. While I love this forum, it in no way represents what the rest of the world thinks regarding wireless devices. There is some hype here at hofo and other sites, but the average consumer does not know there is an E71 coming out or that it appears to be delayed. Like it or not, many more people that dont hang at Hofo know there is a new iPhone coming out. Unless Nokia sells the E71 thru a carrier in the US, it will not be a sales success, no matter how good the device is.
