Now I know...thanks buddy!
*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia E71
- Thread starter growing2blikehim
- Start date
Wow that guy was ANNOYING lol... but I was able to see the notification light very well in that review and the "breathing" too, have to say thats one of the coolest things Ive seen on a phone in a while. Why has it taken this long for someone to make a phone with something like that on it. There have been some but very few and Nokia looks like they did it right. Not too flashy but just enough. Now I really want it.

been playing with the camera. The problem is that is everything is tinted bluish. If you shoot in Sepia mode it's more true to color in some ways but the best of both worlds is a happy medium.
Also To get a clear picture you have to hold down the letter T until the finder box turns green then press the dpad. Think top gun and you will get better shots

I'm not meticulous, but I don't like to have my phone end up looking like something out of junkyard wars, either. I do constantly end up doing a quick polish of the screen against my shirt (to remove thumb prints) though.

I'm not a fan of Symbian by any stretch of the imagination. I find it very plain. But...it works.
I can only speak to the way that I have my phones set up, and your mileage may vary because of your specific application.
I have the left soft button set up for New Message, and this pops up Text Message, Multimedia Message, Audio Message, and Email. If you want people to hear the tone of your voice and inflections instead of reading text, it's very easy to send an Audio Message to a list so that they're all hearing the same thing and hearing the same tone and inflection.
Email opens Compose Mail with the Nokia Mail push client, which works very well with our iMAP server. The Nokia Mail client works very well generally, and delivers a good compromise of immediate availability of mail and reasonable battery usage.
I have the right soft key set up for Conversations, which is the optional (but free) Nokia programme that keeps track of threaded text conversations via users. The user who's last texted bumps to the top of the list, and it's just all very easy to use and keep track of.
Despite the phone's size and the appearance of the keyboard, it's very easy to use for texting. The keys are domed in a way that makes them easy to use while also providing an extremely compact size.
There's an optional (but free) Nokia programme called Advanced Call Manager, which allows you to decide if you want to restrict your calls to a white list, or entire contacts/phone book list, or simply have it open completely. If you want, you can also elect to use the phone's internal memory to use for recordings of messages that your callers will be leaving you if, for whatever reason, you do not want recordings to be kept on the phone company's messaging server. Not many of us would be using the phone while conversing with Yankee White people, but, hey, you never know!!
You should not be afraid of syncing with Outlook with an E71. Even while using 64-bit Windows 7, the PC Suite for Nokia synchronises perfectly...it is, in fact, less of a problem that Microsoft's own Windows Mobile application when synchronising with Microsoft's own Outlook 2007.
A big advantage if you're on the go is that the E71-2 is very easy to carry around in your pocket. The buttons never go off accidentally even when you're moving up and down or kneeling digging around in a file cabinet for something.
By contrast, the Xperia X1a's buttons get pressed all the time. If the phone's gone to sleep in your pocket, it's fine...but if somebody causes your phone to wake up with a text message or phone call, the phone immediately acts on whatever's attached to the button that has pressure. You won't accidentally turn off the Xperia, but you will accidentally hit all the other external buttons and sometimes the screen [!!], and you don't realise how close you've come to causing a ruction until you take the phone out and see that it's nowhere near the home screen and has gone several menus deep toward another function than the one that would have been your natural inclination.
Working at home, or working at a stable office site with no field activity, I'll still go for the Xperia. It's a great, thing. And Windows Mobile is infinitely customisable once you get into the registry a little bit, or after you've watched XDA Developers forum site for a while.
Having put Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 on the Xperia, I have to say that this is superior to the native voice command functions on the Nokia E71. You can tell MS Voice Command a lot of things that you cannot tell the E71. For example, you can open all applications using MS Voice Command, or check the signal strength or battery level. There are only a couple of applications that can be opened on the native voice command structure of the E71.
Both devices seem to do well with causing the device to call someone using voice commands. With Windows Mobile, you will have to say "Call Tom Smith at mobile" whereas with the Nokia you will only have to say "Tom Smith" and the phone will call the number you have listed as the first one in your contact's information.
But if you're really on the go...if you really don't have time to think about your phone/device...then you might want to look at something like the E71. I admit and recognise that my advice can be substantially mitigated by an individual's personal needs. If you're never very active and aren't carrying a phone all the time, then maybe the Xperia with Windows Mobile is the ideal (if pricey) solution for you.
IMHO.

guys, some sketchy, but possibly great/big news!
first, the good stuff:
1) importgsm has just changed their e71 stock to read "Nokia E71 NAM US 3G"
2) the "date released" is listed as 7/8/08...which is technically not until next tuesday, meaning theres possibly some truth to all this
3) the price also dropped from $575 to $450!
now, the worrisome part:
1) their original description is still intact, and the 850/2100(austrailian bands) are still listed as well under detailed specs. so either they forgot to update it, or theyre just bs'ing the NAM part
2) the damned thing is only available in WHITE!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyone is welcome to look more into this matter, but we wont be able to call until monday when they re-open

Yeah, I was thinking the EXACT same thing. Typical Nokia release. The competition is much greater this year than it was a year ago when the E61 and E90 came out. Lots of good WM devices, touchscreens all over the place, the new iPhone and a new BB. Nokia is going to be the last one to the party with this device and people who have been wanting to get their first smartphone or upgrade are going to do so before Nokia gets around to having a US version in the market. Not to mention the E71 looks a lot like a BB that many people will just think "its another BB". There is nothing distinctive about its style.
I have read many of you say that Nokia does not care about the US market, and I am starting to believe you.

Mine had this flicker a little bit, but not to the point of being an issue. I didn't notice it much after awhile. Some others here spoke of the same thing. Probably common.
GPS is no deal breaker for me on this phone. I am like others out there where I just want the phone and BB connect to work on this unit. I really like the build quality of the E61i but it was much much too wide for me as business phone. Other than that the E61i was perfect for me. This is why I think the E71 will work well. I am looking forward to it and even if it doesn't arrive until September I'll be there for one. Some seem to belive that it is going to be a 2nd quarter release product. All the better

roadsync is great Intellisync is better. Cortado offers services for both. The E61i didn't have the memory to really keep up with Intellisync- the E90 does a great job- very fasy. Hope the E71 will be the same...
