*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia E71

I'm trying to decide between N95 8GB and E71 so I hope you guys can help me a bit.

I'm mainly multimedia user with some office needs. Here's some of criteria I have been thinking of:
1. Music quality when using headphones (2.5->3.5 adapter for E71 is a must I guess)
2. WLAN battery life
3. Video playback (youtube)
4. Console emulators (snes, nes etc)
5. Battery life
6. Build quality and looks

Personally I'd choose E71 without a second thought if I were sure how it reproduces music, video and games.
 
It's a business device! Why does it need a bigger screen? If it was VGA, I could understand, but it's QVGA, and if you think Nokia's gonna put all it's eggs in one basket, you are sorely mistaken.

"We should put larger screen on our BUSINESS device because people want to watch movies and play games!"

Yeah...you said it. Big disappointment. Thought they would at least have a few announcements. I'm looking for a phone with qwerty....The other news I'm waiting on is the 9000 BB, but I think that's not going to happen till late summer.
 
So I got the e71 and it has the reception problem. Also I can't get my gmail to display on the home screen. And man am I slow with this keyboard. I'm so used to t9.

Also the upper part of the keyboard moves up and down. Does this happen on other e71 phones?
 
Is there any way to selectively enable BT profiles for devices? I love using A2DP on my WinMo phone and it is great that I can enable selectively A2DP but not headset because I have no interest in using the handset function of my Samsung SBH500 bt headphones.
 
Wirelessly posted (HTC Wizard: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 7.11) PPC; 240x320; HTC_P3600i/1.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1)

The E71 looked much better in the earlier pictures, but when put next to an N95 it doesn't quite compare. ALso, can anyone with an E90 take pictures of the E71 versus that?
 
I don't even own a BT headset...and have never used one enough to need one. I feel like a supreme dork with one on walking around like some do, and feel like they look like the same. Driving "hands-free" is one thing...walking around appearing to be talking to yourself is odd...and in some cases can be very rude to those around you IMO.

Nope, if the handset earpiece volume isn't loud enough for me to use the handset itself as a mobile phone...then it doesn't pass muster, at least for me.

I feel like Nokia...and most other manufacturers as well...are so scared of stupid litigation from someone swearing their hearing was damaged because of a "too loud earpiece" that they have become almost like a "Big Brother", setting standards for volume that are mostly too low...even at max settings. My only desire is that they at least give me, the consumer, the adjustability to pick the volume setting instead of it being picked for me. I'm a big boy and can fend for myself...
 
screen may be smaller, but when you see how small this device is overall i think you wont care one bit. plus the resolution is the same as other N series and E series phones so the same amount of info is displayed as an n95.
