*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia E71

What I've been seeing spec wise lists the E66 as running FP-2 and the E71 as FP-1. I'm not clear on the diff as far as FP-2 being better in a neccessary sort of way. Would that make the E66 preffered over the E71, if E66 is running FP-2.
 
just got the phone last night and i have to say this thing is killer. first thing that really stuck out to me was how thin it is, but at the same time solid. nokia really nailed it on the head with the build quality. my girlfriend said her blackberry pearl is a joke compared to this phone, and it is.

there are also so many little things in the firmware that just make it so much nicer to use than nseries phones. so far i'm really digging it. only bad impression is the pics it takes, but those have only been in low light conditions. today i shall give it a better test.

check out some pics

If you wanna see more of my thoughts and some pictures head over to Symbian-Addict.com
 
For unsigned apps you could just go into App manager, then options, then settings and change Software installation to All instead of signed only.

You can change the 6 application shortcuts on the homescreen to any application you want. Its in the homescreen settings under application shortcuts. I remember seeing an app not too long ago that allowed more than 6. Cant remember what it was called. Basically it was a homescreen replacement. Allowed some widgets on there as well. Never got around to trying it though.
 
Indeed. Some people that have been 100% right with the past devices when there havent been any info about those at all seem to be a bit confused with these 2 E series devices. It might be true that there really was something that they had to add/fix. I just dont give any value for these random dates some people are giving currently.
I'm going to buy something really stupid if E66 and E71 arent going to be released soon!
 
I don't know why everyone is so wrapped up on the 3G versions anyway. i am constantly on wifi anyway...my home, every office i go into, friends houses, coffee shops etc. 3G is great- nice when I am in europe etc-but I can get by with wifi no doubt...
 
Supposedly, an upcoming Nokia QWERTY device is going to include the T-Mobile AWS 3G band. We TMO users are hoping and praying it's the E71, and that it appears soon-ish. :D
 
There we go again.

From http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/proprietary

2: something that is used, produced, or marketed under exclusive legal right of the inventor or maker; specifically : a drug (as a patent medicine) that is protected by secrecy, patent, or copyright against free competition as to name, product, composition, or process of manufacture
3: a business secretly owned by and run as a cover for an intelligence organization"

Nokia is NOT the exclusive proprietor of Symbian as you posted. RIM on the other hand has exclusive control over their OS. Which is not something I even talked about by the way. Go back and READ what I posted.
"RogerPodacter: what exactly is RIM using for the OS? is it a windows variant? proprietary?" was the question. The OS used by RIM is PROPRIETARY TO RIM. PERIOD. It is not Windows Mobile obviously, it is something made in-house.

My employer btw (Fortune 500 software company) uses Blackberry devices exclusively for mobile corporate email. So don't assume I don't know what the operating system is like. The phones listed above are my personal devices.

So, would RIM have gained ANY traction in the corporate world, nevermind outside it, if it were not for their integration with corporate servers for push email? Highly unlikely. Which is why they are trying to diversify their offerings as much as possible, right now their solution is the one big differentiator from Apple. If they lose that they stand to lose a lot more than just some personal BB users defecting to Apple.

Ps.. I agree though that Apple has to step up and actually work to convince larger organizations that it can serve their corporate needs with end to end support, which it may not bother doing (or may not even be capable of).
 
Well there's rarely any hype about any Nokia phone really still they manage to have those hit phones. It's just too bad that those S60 phones that att have picked up have been pretty crappy really(not the best phones to introduce S60).
E71 seems to me to be just the right device for NA market, but of course it's totally new OS for most so it's probally hard to jump from BB to S60 device even more when bold dosen't have anything to be shamed next E71.
Thought i don't see problems with E71 to be more of a hit in EU area than E61 was.
