*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia E71

Let's be realistic here...$199 is just a number they used to make it look like it's cheaper. When they add 10 dollars more each month with the required "3G iPhone" data plan with 2year contract, compared to the EDGE iPhone plan, it's 199+240. So 439 is the actual price if you take into account the extra clams you have to pay per month...and it's 559 if you want to make the comparison using a S60 phone with data.
 
Yay I just got my phone and I love it. Connections and reception are so much faster and stronger than my curve in the same position.

That being said, I cannot seem to get this phone connected to my iMac. I used to have iSync running with my n73 but it says it wont work with the e71.

Anyone else using a Mac to connect and how did you do it? HELP!

Ok, now I cant figure out how to dial number that have letters in them(ie: 1800-my-apple). WTF??

EDIT: Ok, I accidentally deleted iSync after I found I needed to install the e71 update. Now Im screwed.
 
Ordered one from SHOPBLT.com (white one) and they're expecting shipment in for the white ones on 07/02 and I should get it on 07/03.

Ordered from Ebay from the guy in Singapore and didn't know that it was the E71-1 version. It's on its way over to me from Singapore and I'll be getting it on Monday, 06/30.

If anyone's interested in the E71-1 version, let me know to see if we can work out a deal. No need for 2 of these, but obviously, I'll be keeping the E71-2 version that I'll be getting from SHOPBLT next week (provided that the 07/02 ETA date is accurate).
 
some quirks that i have noticed that i would like to see in a new firmware update:

make the home screen clock larger or allow it to be adjusted.

make the chosen profile name appear on the home screen even if a profile other than "normal" is chosen,

the search for phone numbers / contacts on the home screen feature is great....but that it shows numbers instead of letters (even though it searches via the equivalent letter) is less than ideal.

i would like to be able to completely turn off the breathing light and not have a screen saver appear at the same time (currently it is one or the other only).

built in task manager should incorporate the functionality of "handy taskman".

there should be a built in weather application. very simple software. everyone wants this.

that the characters you typed to initiate the search sill appear on the home screen, after you've found the contact you were searching for is...less than ideal (it currently requires a backspace or end key click to clear the search characters).

allow the middle sidekey (i think it controls push to talk?) to be set for a one touch key for any other feature (camera would be quite useful).

the internet browser mostly will not load my homepage upon launch. however, if i click on any bookmark right after my home page will not launch, that pages comes up no problem at all.

depending on the active screen applications i have enabled, i am not always allowed to control the music player from the active screen.

depending on the number of active screen app's, i cannot see the lowest function on the screen (search for me) if i get an sms / voicemail / missed call notification until i "clear" that notification.

i would like to be able to add more search engines to the built in search feature...like wikipedia in particular, though i can think of others.

mfe issues:
all messages that i send are kept in the same sent folder...no separation for sms, email, etc...

the scrolling in an email skips too many lines. i would prefer that the down key on the d pad would skip one or two line per click (or be user defined). it currently skips many lines...very awkward.

forwarded messages always appear as attachments. would like to have them included in the email or have the option to attach or not.

i would like to be able to search for company contacts within the email function and not have to add the contact (after first realizing while creating an email that i don't have that contact in my phone) outside of that app (and then have to start the new email all over again).

for yahoo / hotmail / gmail type email accounts (non exchange) the whole retrieve headers only functionality is infuriating. check out how windows mobile handles it. you can define how much of a message you want downloaded. the only "option" in mfe is "headers only". waste of my time to have to download every message (even if it is a two line text only email) as there is a big delay in order to download.
 
It's humanly impossible, but I'll try. :lol: Ok, I'm getting really impatient about the E71 NAM. You know us women are very impatient! And I don't want to get the Bold to spite Nokia. :disappoin
 
Hmm.... Expansys UK have the E71 Silver due 1st July, while the E71 Black due 1st August. An indication that the E71 Black is way more popular than the silver one and they've already sold out the initial allocation?
