*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia E71

[All or Nothing]

How can anyone make a statement like this without ever holding an E71 in their hands? So far we've seen a blurry picture and a photochop. I won't make a decision until I actually hold one.

Same here.



The E71 addresses a lot of the criticisms with the E61i (such as flash, RAM, speed, separate services browser) so it is a worthy upgrade. As I and other have previously mentioned, the only negatives are the smaller screensize and keys.



Yes.



The E71 is a shrunken less expensive E90

i think it is related to nokia! i am using an E51 right now and i get the weird message every time there is voice mail. The thing is that it just never bothered me before so i dont see it as a big deal!

 

[Whistlepig]

It's more like :wow: :wow: :wow:.

I'm torn between the E71 NAM and the Bold. :bulging:

 

[kunal jadhav]

are you plugged in and charging the phone? Nokia phones don't vibrate while it's charging, for fear that it'll vibrate itself into a 3 foot fall from a desk.

 

[bobman]

on my box it said Built 30/2008. So when was it built, i don't get it?

Just read an extremely positive review -

I thought the press release said that the E71 would be 500 or over.

 

[Jonatha]

yeah was that like miniME's 2nd post? Damn my second post was pure jibberish like all my post there after.

 

[Janaaa]

am I the only one that read the manual?
this tip is well written in the manual! :clapping:
great book before going to bed...

 

[NO-ME]

Then why Nokia is not releasing E71?

Any information about tentative release date?

Thanks,
Tintin

Funny that the E71 was leaked, I believe, longer than the BB.....yet the E71 still has not been announced....I wonder what's taking so long? Maybe they are having production problems after closing the German plant

 

[imnotachipmonk]

I remember this happening with another phone at Buy.com and most people ended up canceling their orders. Hope this one works out better since I just placed my order too!

 

[damienwalec]

Hey, let me ask you guys something. I have a grey e71 in the shopping cart at buy.com. Can you tell which version it is (-1, -2, -3) by the mfg part number?
It says 002F581. I am ,of course, needing a -2 version.
Still no idea when they'll ship yet

 

[Snickas]

The E71 has huge potential. I do hope the keys are better than the E61i's. They seem a little flat and low to me. I do love the rubbery feel from whatever they use to coat them, but I prefer more movement, more of a definite "click" when pressed. The keyboard on the E71 pics look completely re-designed.

 

[Nutzz :)]

Actually I wasn't.


I was stating that the way you unlock is the same way to lock menu-then bottom left key.



However I didn't know that menu-asterisk worked as well. :2thumbs:


Thanks for posting that! :buddies:

 

[Bernese Love]

Lol, you are absolutely right!

 

[nbawizards0]

There are installation files for a few applications on the card that auto-install on start (e.g. the business card scanner), but most are available online, I think I only haven't seen the business card one online. I think every phone is coming with that card, but some dealers are trying to squeeze a few bucks by selling it separately, literally just a few dollars really (like the samsung i780 had 2 batteries and ebay sellers just took one out).

 

[Roll]

No creaky keys = very handy when browsing hofo during boring meetings! :hehehe:

 

[Beccaa.]

The only version I see for the Rogers branded handsets is the original v100. You'd have to change the product code to get any updates at all.
