Summary: Awesome phone Comment: This phone is amazing! I am impressed. The best build quality I have ever seen on a cellphone. This is built like a tank with some real metal and precision engineering. You have to hold it to feel it. Even with all the superlatives, be ready for a pleasant surprise if you ever buy this phone.
The 1500mAh battery is one of the juiciest ever on a cellphone and will last 2-3 days on 3G with moderate to heavy use. I gave up trying to drain the battery out on this one.
Call quality is excellent and the earpiece is loud. Keypad is nice and comfy. Symbian OS is really snappy with no lags, and supports multitasking. No crashes or reboots after 3 weeks of ownership. E-Mail setup was super easy. There is a wee bit of learning curve with Symbian, but I could master this phone in 2-3 days with little help from the manual/online forums.
The out of the box feature set is awesome. It is the swiss knife among smartphones. Bluetooth stereo, Podcast, music player, GPS, WiFi, VOIP, MMS, email push, POP and IMAP support, calendar and contacts sync, Microsoft exchange compatibility, full web browser, QuickOffice, PDF, zip..you name it, this phone comes with it. There are tons of 3rd party apps available online for Symbian OS.
And the most important of all it works as a phone!. Very good reception like any other Nokia, and the call quality is superb.
Only cons I can think of are:
- Finger prints on the stainless steel and glass surfaces.
- Camera is nothing special to write about.
- Email clients are adequate for an average consumer, but not enterprise grade.
- 2.5 mm audio jack needs special adapters (cheap) or Nokia earphone.

Summary: Why compare to iPhone? Comment: Only had my E71 for a few days now, but I'm incredibly impressed. The biggest concern I have is the number of people in this forum comparing the E71 to the iPhone. E71 is NOT an iPhone, it was not INTENDED to compete with the iPhone, and it is not fair to compare it with the iPhone! So many people are talking about what the iPhone has that the E71 hasn't, what about the things the E71 has that the iPhone hasn't?...like a beautiful steel case, video calling, a removable memory card, RELIABLE 3G connectivity, etc, etc? If all you people want an iPhone so bad, then why not just get one unlocked/jailbroken and let the rest of us evaluate hand held devices on their own merits?
The best features of the E71 are its sleek and elegant form factor, the aforementioned steel case, the 100% customizable interface, and the availability & support for third-party applications.

Summary: E71 review Comment: I'm a long time E series user specially the qwerty keyboard type (ie. E61, E61i) and now E71. Why do I keep coming back? well in my day to day life I work in an enterprise class environment and the complete range of features offered by the Symbian OS, the processing power of this type of phones and expandable memory allow me to make my life easier from connecting remotely via VPN to my workplace over Edge to redirecting calls via VoIP wherever in the world I'm in.
This phone is truly a lifesaver and a great tool/gadget for my day to day activities, and talk about the sexyness factor sure it's a geek phone but come on the redesigned look of the E71 is definitely an eye catcher, when compared to other enterprise class phones such as the previous E series and even the blackberry.
The bug count in the current firmware version is somewhat minimal but I recommend definetly doing a quick reset on it every couple of days, Nokia is bound to release a new firmware version soon to address this small bugs so hang tight there and keep checking your favorite blogs for more info on this phone.

Summary: Nokia E71 "smart" phone Comment: This phone is fantastic. It does everything as advertised, however I am not sure the 10 1/2 hour talk time or 17 day standby time are entirely accurate. I've only had the phone a couple of weeks, and my experience with these batteries is that you go through several recharge cycles before they reach their full potential. The phone is easy to use once you get used to it, but the manual leaves a little to be desired. However, Nokia's phone support (customer service) is really good. I had a couple of issues I couldn't figure out and they walked me right through the solution. Some of the things I really appreciate, other than all the special features are: 1) adjustable ring volume that is loud enough for some of us older folks and 2) a really good speaker with a phone that will stand without having to lean on something. Additionally, the bluetooth connection to my navigation system was very easy to set up, and the bluetooth connection to my Nokia 6682 allowed me to transfer data with a minimum of effort. I am still learning things about this phone and probably will have it all figured out in a year or so. All things considered, this phone has exceeded my expectations. I wavered a bit and was considering 2 other Nokia phones with 5 megapixel cameras, but I'm satisfied I made the right choice. 3.2 megapixels is plenty unless you are trying to do really big pictures, and those are best done with stand-alone cameras. I really recommend this phone highly. I guess I should add that I'm a Nokia fan. I just think they make the best product.

Summary: One of the best Smartphones out there, if not the best! I love it!!! Comment: Just got this phone from Amazon.com and I am totally loving it.
I have been looking for a phone that is similar to my Blackberry Curve and this is definitely it. The Nokia E71 is just so sleek and smart looking, much prettier than my Blackberry Curve. The Nokia is a tad longer than the BB Curve but it is much slimmer. Comparing the Nokia E71 with my iPhone 3G, the E71 is smaller, it is much shorter and slimmer as well.
This is much easier to use than my Nokia N82. I actually decided to sell my Nokia N82 after receiving my E71 coz hands-down, the E71 is a much better phone in terms of looks and functionality for my use.
And being unlocked, I don't have to extend my contract with TMobile.
Way to go Nokia!
