*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia E71

EXACTLY what I thought! Actually this is what the N95 should've been from the start. Although this design trend Nokia is doing (N78, N81, etc) lately I'm not fond of; it works best with the N96. When you get one to play with you had BETTER check DISH Networks and see if their trial of DVB-SH is available & compatible with the DVB-H band frequencies this N96 is capable of, please!



Couldn't agree more! Those wanting the White one, I'd suggest waiting till retail has them and go in with pretty funky fingers to dirty up just one/two keys and see if it can be cleaned with paper towel + vinegar or something of the like.


Any news of this beginning to trickle into stock?
 
hey the thread made it to 100 pages before the official release announcement. such a feat couldnt be possible without nokia's delays, teasers and leaked info, forcing us to waste hours on the internet salivating...
 
Agreed the BB isnt really doing the work, but the end result to the user is a great mail experience.
After spending the money and implementing the BES structure in my company, I am hard pressed to spend more money on a Nokia or Roadsync solution to basically replicate the functionality that my BB provides. I am the decision maker here. My point is, I see my situation the exact same as many businesses that already have the RIM/BES solution in place. It is a very hard sell to tell a business to ditch their investment in BES and switch to something else to get similar functionality. The only time I see this happening is if the CEO falls in love with the E71 and personally wants the E71 and wants it to work "like his BB does". I am a techie guy, but I am also a CEO. I understand why the simplicity of the BB interface is so attractive to non techies, managers and sales people. The full time techies in my company prefer their WM devices but I want my BB.
 
Hey Carl, no hard feelings here :buddies: . In fact you are right about it. I guess I'm just on these forums too much and are too informed about pricing and what the "right price" should be approx. I always get a little upset when I go into stores and see something that is clearly overpriced and are just trying to catch a few uninformed/unsuspecting customers........$800 seems to me they are gouging, but like you said more power to them if they can sell it at that price.
 
Don't know if any of you noticed, but Apple's stock price closed today's trading down $6.66 !! Satanic! On a Friday no less!

That goes along very nicely with Job's black turtle neck. Now THAT'S satanic!
 
Yeah..really the virtual keyboard and WM have improved so much...I really like it and dare I say I'm looking forward more to the Diamond than the E71 :bulging:
 
so is anybody actually shipping yet?? it has only been a week. I am going to dump my last e61i and get another e90 in the meantime. I run Intellisync and the e61i just not enough memory to multitask...
will be interesting to see when they do turn up in the marketplace...
 
There's a thread about it here somewhere....but first you need to get the unlock code from AT&T. Usually if you tell them you're going overseas and will need to be able to put a prepaid SIm card into the phone they'll buy it. Then you need to use the NSS suite to change the product code and then you can flash it. There's a thread around here somewhere about it.

Oh, it also doesn't work with some of the newer AT&T N75s. But if your N75 says Cingular on it then there won't be any trouble.
 
According to iUnlock.. You do not need to get a phone Unlocked in order to flash it.

They can flash your phone to the generic and it will still remain locked to AT&T just not branded.
 
Anyone know how I can set up my work email on this E71-1 puppy? I also ordered from Rose on Thursday evening, and got it this morning in New York. Fast shipping. Shipped from Singapore to New York pretty quickly.

We use Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and wanted to have my work email on this puppy, any ideas on how this can be done?

Thanks
 
I'm also getting the same message that it is down, i.e. your changed code is not causing that. Not sure if that's related to the firmwares not being there yet for E71 or just the servers are down (too lazy to check with my N95)
