Summary: This was the perfect device for me!
Comment: This is my 4th attempt...I can't seem to keep it short! Anyway, right off the bat, I LOVE this phone. I looked for over a month, reading reviews, trying to find the perfect phone since my contract was ending (I had a Motorola V3xx). I wanted a smartphone, and thought the iPhone was the way to go...then I found out it had no stereo Bluetooth (unacceptable to me for my next phone), the forced data plan was kinda pricey to be locked into, I didn't like the plastic of the new 3G version, and I heard the battery life wasn't very good. I also read the same about Windows Mobile phones. Then I got to the E71. I'd have to sacrifice the flashy big touch-screen...and I'm so glad I did. To have a phone with a full QWERTY keyboard on a device this thin (instead of a big-brick slider phone), a beautiful steel frame and battery cover, great tactile feedback and domed keys making up for lack of space between them (even with my big thumbs)...it was so worth it.
Received it in 2 days, popped in my old SIM card, called up and got an inexpensive unlimited data plan (active as soon as I hung up the phone, turned it off and back on), and was off and running! Web browsing is a blast, e-mailing is great (probably my only complaint with the phone is that I can't SAVE e-mails on it..check for new ones, the old ones disappear..still haven't found a work-around for that yet), there's a ton of freeware out there for the operating system (for AIM/IM programs, even a free voice-guided GPS program I found!), camera is better than the RAZR's (though most do say it's terrible compared to other phones), I've got over 500 songs (any of which can be the ring tone!) on an 8GB card, 4 e-books, and lots of room left...I could go on, but just read other reviews!
If you have the opportunity, hold one...that alone may sell you on the thing! I don't regret spending the $$$ on this phone unlocked vs. getting a subsidized phone/new contract...the $$$ I will save on the data plan alone will pay for the difference in a lot less time than a contract would take!

Summary: Everything I hoped it would be!
Comment: I was a little skeptical in ordering this because of some of the faults people have described here and other places. I am pleased to say that mine does not suffer from any of the bad things described, e.g. doesn't hold 3G signal very well, drops calls, and cramped keypad. Mine is a signal hog and not a single call dropped. Keypad is samller than other phones but this one is more than sufficient and has great tactile feedback.

Summary: e71-2 is Awesome
Comment: When my e61 traveled to the big cell cemetery in the sky, I went into deep mourning. But when my new e71 arrived with angels singing, clouds parting and sun streaming in, my depression lifted. This is a welcome update to the eSeries and is fantastic. The network capabilities are great, the speed has jumped considerably and the applications run flawlessly. Great attention has been paid to tweaking the interface to remove the quirkiness of the e61 in certain sections, so the user experience is more fluid and pleasant. Speaker is good, screen is a hair small, but very clear, processing speed is great, and on-board memory is adequate. Can't recommend this phone enough! Just be careful to get the correct version (e71-2 for US). Enjoy!

Summary: Great phone
Comment: Alright, I finally bought one a month ago based on the reviews here. This is my first smart phone. I considered iPhone and N96 before finally settling for E71. Here is why: I realized that what I really wanted was connectivity on the run (or walk ;)) - not necessarily watching movies or doing demos to others on what my phone can do. I wanted a phone that can do many things pretty well, and not just some things absolutely the best. I also wanted a phone that lets me add applications that I (as opposed to AT&T and Apple) want/allow. And I didnt want to go bankrupt buying/using that phone. E71 satisfies all (well, except the demo part: I ended up demoing it a few times ;)).
Coming to the phone itself - it has an unvelievable set of features -
* Connectivity options - You name it, it has it(Bluetooth - including stereo headset support infrared, Wifi, 3G, Edge). You can connect to Wifi networks that requires encryption (I configured WEP) or browser-based authentication.
* A GPS with A-GPS support - meaning fast GPS lock. Not sure if you need(I have) data plan to use it. You can disable it, though, and use just the plain GPS.
* Decent email client (setting up gmail took all of 1 minute - just enter your user name and passwd). But you should try Nokia's new push email service (free for now - not sure how long), it is much better. Emails show up on your phone even before Gmail web ui shows it (same case with built-in email client as well). Both has no html support (yet).
* It can sync up with outlook on your windows PC using Nokia Suite, and it can connect to Exchange using active sync (though I havent checked this myself - my employer doesnt allow me to).
* It plays all kinds of media files (audio is decent, and the speaker loud enough) and youtube.
* It has a very good browser with flash support (and you can watch You Tube videos)
* it has internet telephony support(meaning you dont need any additional software if you have SIP account with any provider)
* it has tonnes of other applications (free and paid) that you can download from Nokia's own or various Symbian S60 websites. Fring (chat/voip client for google talk, skype, etc), Google Maps (with street view), Yahoo Go, etc are some must-have applications available free. Ability to be on Skype all-day (of course, if you have data plan) can save you a lot of money, if you make/receive international calls (you can make skype-skype free or skype-phone for lower rates without using your minutes)
* You can add more memory using micro SDHC card and applications can be installed on phone memory or card
* Good battery life (at least to my expectations) - with wifi and 3G turned on, push-email set to immediate notification, Fring running always and lots of browsing, I get through 2 days. With 3G turned off (using edge), push-email at immediate notification and moderate browsing, I have now gone 3 days and battery has 40% charge left.
* Looks - One of the best looking (still feature-rich) phones (much better than N95, but nowhere near an iPhone) out there. It is very thin, and is probably smaller than iPhone.
* Finally, it has a full qwerty keyboard which is very very very usable - never thought I could do that on a phone.
For the negative side, I must say that the Wifi reach is not as good as my laptop (meaning, I can get fairly good signal on laptop, but E71 wont get any) - but then you cant really compare the high-power laptop to a low-power cellphone. Also the phone has a 2.5mm audio jack (not 3.5mm, as your regular headsets would use) - you will have to get a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter if you are particular about that favorite headset of yours.
Overall, I recommend the phone. With the AT&T's Media Unlimited (just $15 per month, instead of $30 that iPhone requires), I am enjoying the new phone. My days have changed - for the better!

Summary: Best S60 phone I've ever tried
Comment: Just an incredible phone. As a long-time Symbian user, I thought I knew what to expect but I was wrong. For me, the highlights are:
1. Great form factor (thin, solid, great keyboard and screen)
2. Very fast OS (press a button and the action happens instantly - almost no lag)
3. Much improved PIM (Calendar and address books are both top-notch)
4. Great reception (solid 3G everywhere I go in CT and 3.5g in the larger cities)
5. Compatible with all my software (except Yahtzee, which looks weird, but hey, it's a game so who cares)
Highly recommended. I know ATT has a version coming out which will be much cheaper but they ALWAYS find a way to screw up their phones.
Enjoy. I am.
