*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia E71

It's a little more complicated than this.

Symbian defines a set of core OS functionality which much be included in every device. That core set of functionality does not include a user interface, but does include some applications services and applications engines. It goes into the Series 60 (and previously Series 80) platforms, UIQ, and FOMA user interfaces/platforms.

Nokia developed the Series 60 UI, and defines additional applications, services and APIs which make up the "Series 60 platform". Nokia owns the IP and definition of Series 60 platform (on top of Symbian OS) and licenses the whole bundle to other manufacturers.

Nokia owns less than 50% of Symbian, but sells the largest share of Symbian OS devices. As owner and major licensee, they have a lot of influence on Symbian.... but their control is limited by the desire to keep the other manufacturers in the consortium.

So to clarify, Nokia owns Series 60, but not (exclusively) Symbian OS.
 
Hi maupomep

Try it with an E90 for the settings it should be the same with any luck as there only E-Mail settings i can't see what great differences there can be.

Would you kindly explain this feature? If the Active Standby screen is visible and you type 8-6-6, do you see "866" or "Tom" or is it something else?

On my E51 (APAC), if I type 8-6-6, it just shows "866".

i'm considering both the e71 and the iphone 3g, and i have a few questions:

1. what video (playing) formats does it support (mp4?)?
with my e61 it will play .avi but i have to .divx most of them (i use smartmovie)which is a royal pain. the iWhatevers have the advantage of playing mp4s which many things like tv episodes are avl. in. even better would be if there were a mobile vlc app.

2. read somewhere that its CPU is something like half the speed of
the iphone 3G. is there any truth to this? i would love to see a
speed test (3g, wifi) especially with browser use. my e61 is sloooow,
though admittedly ancient.

3. is it compatible with Tmobile's 3g frequency?

4. i assume if so that tethering w/ Tmo won't be any problem??it isn't with my e61. i think this will be the best deal for the $, i'm sure ATT/apple will make tethering impossible at first then expensive.

thanks!
 
I have jumped ship from the E71 like 4 times... and guess what, I am back again.

This phone holds a soft spot in my heart! Still my favorite phone to date.
 
Definitely not wifi but it could be the 3g. However, after finding out that I cant sync with entourage on my mac, this phone is useless for me.

EDIT: Ok, so the phone has been off for an hour now and the lens is still extremely warm to the touch. Its not on the charger either and theres no SIM card in it.
 
I have never seen an option to have the lights stay on when plugged in. I think you have to manually set it up when you want it to happen. Its not like a wm device
 
Nokia have released their phones usually by just releasing N series or E series phone at the same not mixed. This time thought i was waiting that E71 would have gone out too in 3GSM.
First fp2 devices are getting in shops q3 so would think they get out then too and would be released in coming event or random announcement...i hope because E71 is the phone i'm waiting for.

It's a new feature on the E71 and E66 but on these devices when you start typing it brings up a list of contacts starting with the letters you have pressed. Although confusingly enough it doesn't show the letters you are typing it will show symbols or numbers and letters.

So, yeah, read that review comparing the BB Bold and the E71 as I await to pull the trigger on a replacement for my E61...Disappointing a bit on the camera with the E71 based on reviews and comments but then again, I managed even without one for this long...Looking forward to get back to one, even if it's one that isn't great.

I'm not real familiar with the BB type of OS and interface etc. but I like the reviews on the Bold.

My biggest issues with going with the E71 has been whether there is anything substantial to these 3G issues and antenna placement etc.
 
ear piece volume will probably vary from person to person and from device to device. I mean someone who likes a very loud earpiece and comes from a Blackberry or a RAZR may think the E71 is quiet.

I've only played with the N95...but the all the E-series and N-series phones I've used have been pretty low...the best one in the s60 bunch was probably the old 6682 and that's really not saying much.

For me the E71 has a very adequate volume levels.
