*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia E71

Now I need to say something about the AWS spectrum, and I hope someone can answer it...When there is no AWS 3G active right now, and I don't think it would be in the next 3 months or so, why would Nokia bother to have their future Eseries flagship device (E71) have the AWS bands? Even if the AWS 3G goes live tonight, until T-Mobile can first of all cover enough markets, and second get enough people sign up for data (and the $6 data has some ports blocked), Nokia won't bother to put the chip in there, it's just not economically feasible, at least not in the near immediate future.

Even if they do put in the E71, it's a mistake economically for them, because by the time T-Mob gets to a place where AT&T is today that has OK coverage for 3G, this phone will be obsolete, at least for us HoFo users.

I'd like to hear any arguments anybody has.
 
I'm just worried that my Exchange server will refuse the connection without the certificate. It won't sync with some co-workers win mobile devices without installing the certificate on the handheld.
 
menu - tools - settings - phone - network - network mode change to GSM.

Disable any connectivity? Like what?

I don't think so.. This goes with AT&T and T-Mobile with the N82 since the N82 doesn't support US 3G.
 
So its Nokia's fault.. :befuddled

Dude... would you buy a branded N95 if its camera was reduced to 2MP, scrapped off WiFi, charged for GPS use and added bunch of AT&T junk on the phone?

It takes 2 to tango...

You just don't blame the manufacturer...

What if AT&T wants you, but wants you with no arm and legs, would you still go? Take that as an example.
 
They do not anymore, the last AT&T authorized dealer I remember selling it was CompUSA before they went under, and they still wanted $300 for it but didnt require you to get a contract with it! hahha, but it was locked. Heck they dont even carry the n75 anymore.
 
lol, exactly that
i watch movies on the treadmill on my iphone now and qtek 9000 before that
i guess i could watch the plasmas instead and keep 300US in my pocket too

yeh......im goin to wait for the e71 too..........
 
Two questions:

Does the "breathing" function eat a lot o battery?

Why does my E71 never stop charging? I've had the phone in the charger, showing that it's charging, for more then 20 hours. Still when i unplug, it's missing the last bar.
 
I speak in generalizations.... I find BBs best for non technical people. Sure there are exceptions to every generalization. I own an E51 and have owned an E90. I own and run 2 businesses, but my background is VERY technical, so I fall in both camps. Trust me, the "geek" term was not a put down.

I have never been here to start a religious war about BB v E71 (or S60). I think they are both great platforms. I can find pluses for both. But, in my very vast experience, non technical people do better with blackberries. (no to mention they can be centrally managed).

I stand by my statement!
 
Pressure, sure ... but I think Motorola in their current mobility business state has as much to gain as us the END users ;) . The Q9h is prety much their only smartphone.
 
Stupid question, but how do I get the latest firmware update for my Nokia E71-1? I'm assuming the E71-1 is the Eurasian variant. I bought my phone in Hong Kong and I want to update the firmware, but still maintain the Chinese character support.
