*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia E71

Hello I had a question about the e71. I started to post this on the Tips, Tricks, etc. thread but thought this one was just as appropriate.

I have been reading these threads for some time now and there is a lot of info about push email and similar programs that are always checking your email and notifying you.

I don't need that and don't want push or anything like that. I just want a shortcut to gmail on the web when I decide I want to check it. Could I dedicate that email key to something like this similar to setting a homepage on IE on your PC. In other words I would hit the email key and it would get on the internet and go straight to gmail's webmail.

Phone should be here today so haven't read the manual yet but am definitely a manual reader so will read it cover to cover several times to make sure I haven't missed anything. This is my first S60 phone. I look forward to it.

Thanks
Sammy
 
Why dont you hit "rose" up on Ebay and ask about tracking info and shipping? Thats what I did. Still haven't heard anything back yet.
 
If no one has answered, yes with pc suite you can back up all contacts from your n95 and restore on e71. I have done it several times.
backup on e50 ,restore on e51 . then same restore on n82 and loads of other combos.
 
Must be a problem with the adaptor actually; either got something weird in its design, it is damaged or it is mono. I bought two different ones and they work fine.
 
Neither do I...RIM is pretty well established. But there are some companies (mostly smaller and mid-sized) where Nokia can get their foot in the door. My own company, just as an example, has people running WM5, WM6, and Blackberry on their mobile devices....one PalmOS Treo still running around, as well as my own S60 device. It's basically an environment where people provide their own mobile phone, so you get a major mix. Nokia's solution could work very well there...but they may also be shooting themselves in the foot by offering Mail For Exchange. Not that I mind, as I use it. ;) Anyway, had we known about the Nokia solution I could have probably sold them on using it, rather than doing a combo-implementation of Blackberry Professional for the BB users, and Exchange ActiveSync for the Windows Mobile users.

Anyway, there are opportunities, they just need to actually get OUT there....I never see Intellisync marketed either. :lol: Does Nokia even HAVE a marketing department? Sometimes it doesn't seem like it...
 
But for $199 cant you Canadians just get an Iphone without any dataplan and pop your SIM in it and just juse wifi for data. I know that has been your strategy for other devices. I wonder if the iphone GPS will allow you to store maps on the device or datacard or if it will be like a BB and force you to have a dataplan to use the GPS.
