Instant e-mails into my Inbox, texts are a breeze, no more 4 push letters a real tiny keyboard. Connect it to your computer and fill out your contacts, etc. using the big keyboard.

I have just upgraded to an Internet phone and there's lots on offer.
A bit of research and a bit of picking up and putting down and BINGO - I've got a NOKIA E71 - it's fabulous. Instant e-mails into my Inbox, texts are a breeze, no more 4 push letters a real tiny keyboard. Connect it to your computer and fill out your contacts, etc. using the big keyboard.
This is one fabulous phone - browsing the web, buying on Ebay, checking e-mails and the voice phone is very clear.
The only thing left to say is - stop thinking about buying one and go get one today.

best smartphone I've ever used!

Strengths: Slim, lightweight, FAST, bright screen, great audio quality

Weakness: none

This is the best phone I have used by far. I owned the iPhone, the Nokia E61i and almost all the smartphones you could think of. This one far surpasses every one of them. I want to start off with the speediness of the symbian OS. Everything loads instantaneously on this phone. I noticed NO delay compared to my E61i. The keyboard is very pleasant to type on. It is a good balance of plasticky and...

This is the best phone I have used by far. I owned the iPhone, the Nokia E61i and almost all the smartphones you could think of. This one far surpasses every one of them. I want to start off with the speediness of the symbian OS. Everything loads instantaneously on this phone. I noticed NO delay compared to my E61i. The keyboard is very pleasant to type on. It is a good balance of plasticky and rubbery. The screen is very vibrant and bright. You can do so much with just a $15 unlimited data plan, such as send emails, IMs, and use VoIP. The built in GPS also comes in handy. All in all a great phone!

Great for phone, email, and web

Strengths: PROS: Very fast, great display, GPS, freeware downloads, WiFi, keyboard, small and very "pocketable", 3G

Weakness: CONS: Lack of WCDMA 2100. Why leave this out and make several models? One phone for the world would be much better and make this a perfect phone!

After talking with northern California AT&T staff who would not find out if AT&T will carry the E71, and giving me scarey stories about limited functionality if the phone was not carried by them etc. (and deny them a commission) I expected the phone to be difficult to set up and that I would have to have them work on it. I bought the phone, put my old SIM card in, charged it up and after a few...

After talking with northern California AT&T staff who would not find out if AT&T will carry the E71, and giving me scarey stories about limited functionality if the phone was not carried by them etc. (and deny them a commission) I expected the phone to be difficult to set up and that I would have to have them work on it.

I bought the phone, put my old SIM card in, charged it up and after a few hours of set up, software downloads from mysymbian, and very helpful WAP and WEB settings downloads from Nokia, the phone works great! Google Maps and Opera Mini browser work spectaculary on this phone. The Symbian OS takes some time to figure out, and setting up email took some trial and error. But all work well now. And I did not have to talk to the AT&T staff.

I also considered the BB Bold, MotoQ, Blackjack II. I wanted a world phone. The others were either cheap materials, too big, or in the case of the Bold, weird. That leather on the back just seems creepy and it is too big and heavy.

The E71 reception has been good. It does switch between 3G and GPRS networks but it does not drop connections. The iPhone and Bold also do this, so it must be that the 3G technology or coverage is not reliable yet in the U.S.

Nokia E71 - gray (unlocked)

THE GOOD: The Nokia E71 features a slim design, while still managing to have a full QWERTY keyboard. The Symbian smartphone is stocked with features, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and U.S. 3G support. Voice, messaging, and productivity tools are also strong. THE BAD: The E71 is expensive, and the display is on the smaller side. The keyboard is a bit cramped as well. THE BOTTOM LINE: Mobile...
